My name is Christene and I live in a small village north of Inverness with my husband, 2 children and 5 cats. My cats are all house cats. They have access to an outdoor enclosure for when the weather is good. They are part of our family and are not breeding machines.

I go by the GCCF code of ethics and I am a member of The PRBCC (The Progressive Ragdoll Breed Cat Club) and The Nor' East of Scotland Cat Club. I am on the breeders lists of both The PRBCC and The Nor' East of Scotland Cat Club.

My cats are part of the family and can be found in our beds on our seats etc. All kittens will be raised in a nursery area in my bedroom where I can keep a close eye on them.

 

Now for a little information about Ragdolls.

 

Ragdolls come in 3 types. They can be either Colour pointed, Mitted or Bi colour. They come in the traditional blue, seal, lilac, chocolate or the non traditional red series which Are cream, red or tortie as well as the tabby (lynx).
 
You probably will have read a lot about ragdolls on-line and I can confirm it's all true. They are the most affectionate, loving and playful cats you will come across. They are very like dogs and will follow you everywhere. Very beautifull cuddly cats who don't bite, scratch and I can't say any of my rags spit. My children are 6 and almost 10. My 6 year old daughter takes one of my queens (Rosie) everywhere and doesn't give her a minute yet Rosie is very patient with her and never hurts her. They are used to smaller children too.
 
They truly are beautifull cats inside and out but do be prepared for them to be attention seeking. On your lap as soon as you sit purring and wanting you to themselves. They do thrive on company so it is best to either have 2 Ragdolls or have another cat for company especially if you spend long periods of the day away from home.
 
The Ragdoll breed of cat is what is known as a Hybrid breed which means it did not evolve naturally but was man made through selective breeding. The breed started in California in the 1960s by a woman called Anne Baker and a ferrel moggie Josephine. There are many different theories as to why the ragdoll cat became as soft natured as it is but how and ever they are and that's how I and most others like it.
 
I can honestly say though that once you've had the experience of owning a Ragdoll there is no going back. One is not enough. For me it is a bit of an addiction.
