๐Ÿ’– Personality & Behavior

Ragdolls are the Gentlest Giants! They're super relaxed and love nothing more than being held and cuddled. They're very patient and get along with everyone. They're the kind of cat that will wait for you at the door! ๐Ÿšช

๐Ÿ– Food & Treats

Because Ragdolls are big and fluffy, they need good food to keep them healthy! They're not the fastest runners, so we have to make sure they don't get too heavy under all that fur. Healthy meals keep them happy and ready for more snuggles! ๐Ÿ—

๐Ÿงถ Play & Activities

Favorite Games & Activities:

  • Gentle fetch
  • Soft batting toys
  • Following you around
  • Interactive puzzles
  • Low-impact chasing

Ragdolls like to play, but in a very relaxed way! They're not big on jumping on the highest shelves. They prefer games on the floor where they can gently bat at toys. They're just as happy following you around while you do chores! ๐Ÿงถ

๐Ÿก Living Environment

Ragdolls are perfect for any home that has lots of love to give! They're great in apartments and love being with their family. They're indoor cats who just want a soft place to nap and someone to pet them. They're the ultimate homebodies! ๐Ÿ›‹๏ธ
