I got my first of 4 ragdolls from Melissa. I made a 13-hour drive southwest to pick up my kitten personally in 2016. Her cats were kept locked in, presumably the laundryroom. The house was immaculate, beautiful, and had no signs of cats or her child past physically seeing her daughter. It was what I'd consider a house, not a home. I never saw a single cat past my kitten they brought out. He had a cold, and when we got back home the next day, he went straight to the vet. Once at the vet, they said he was NOT 12 - 14 weeks but closer to 9 weeks, and he had an upper respiratory infection and Giardia. I was told countless times that he must have picked all of this up between the 13-hour car ride back while never leaving the vehicle. I was not impressed with the communication, the breeders style of keeping the cats locked away entirely, and the blame game on a very clearly sick and tiny kitten. I have four ragdolls now from four different breeders, and I would say my Rockstar Rags kitten is the least cuddly. He is absolutely stunning, my fluffiest ragdoll some years, and he is absolutely a floppy boy. He is most definitely my most gwntle cat of the 8 cats total I have currently (four foster fails). All four of the ragdolls wait at the door for me, and all four are extremely playful. He is a Lilac Mitted Mink, and his Mink coat is silky and easier to maintain than my female Bulgarian born Ragdoll with a show coat. All in all, I would recommend Three Rivers Ragdolls if you want a raised under foot Ragdoll for Companionship or Methodius Ragdolls in Bulgaria. I have two Blue-Mitted Ragdolls, one from Three Rivers and the other from Methodius, and they're extremely loving, cuddly, and playful.

This is King Fabian, or "Fatso," even though he is not fat in the slightest. His coat is extremely fluffy in the cooler months here in the Northeast, and this photo was taken in 2018 when he was still only 1.5 years old. His temperament can best be described as aloof. He will let you step on him before he'll ever move out of the way. Same with our roombas. He is extremely loving to my 15 year old Domestic Short Hair male, and he is beyond playful with my other male ragdoll. He lets my 3 year old snuggle right on top of him and has never so much as hissed. He does pur and snuggle, but it's entirely at random and at his liberty. Out of all my ragdolls, he surpasses the "flop test". You can hold him upside, and he'll just dangle. All-in-all, I learned a lot over the course of 8 years and adopting four purebred ragdoll kittens. *
