Thank you.
Ragdoll cats are like dogs stuck in a cat's body hahaha
They like company and will follow you around and meow at you to get back inside.
Ragdoll cats are bigger than your average indoor cat. If you are looking to get a male ragdoll, be prepared to end up with a big looking cat. When we went to purchase Soju from a retire breeder, we had a look at her parents. We were shocked at how big the father was!!

The reason why we wanted to check out the parents was because of the fact that Soju didn't come with pedigree papers. So no proof of her being a real ragdoll since a crossed siamese cat could look similar. So the only way to check was to see her parents because ragdolls are much bigger cats. If you buy a ragdoll with pedigree papers, it will cost a lot more.

Also a ragdoll cat does not have an undercoat like other cats do. Their fur should feel very soft like rabbit's fur.

Oh this is exciting! I hope you do decide to get a ragdoll, they are really soft and fluffy.
Oh another thing is, their fur can get really long in winter. So be prepared for a lot of hairball. Though you could give them a bit of a shave during summer. We found that helped. I made a post on it in the past, if you're interested to learn more

Thank you girl ! That's very helpful. Yes, for sure we are going to get one. BTW, do you have any info about those breeders list, or any particular one you could recommend ? Thx.

You're welcome. I don't have a list, but there are lists online, depending where you live. I live in Australia and there are registered breeders for different states. This list can be found online since they have to be registered. There are some breeders which you can place an order with them for the next litter. Some also advertise online on trading sites; for example we have tradingpost.com.au and gumtree.com.au
We found Soju on one of these sites; can't remember which.
Also in Australia it is now illegal to sell pets without being micro chipped.

Perfect ! I'm about to check it out. Thanks a bunch for the valuable info!
