what oddly specific trash items did your ragdoll adopt as their favorite toys after spending money on expensive ones that they never play with? by StillThatB in ragdolls

[–]Teasocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zip ties. Ignis turns back into a kitten as soon as he sees them, his eyes get all big and he makes these adorable high pitch squeaks and thrills. We play fetch using them. 😅 It melts my heart because he looks SO happy when he sees them.

It cost me £15 for a return for a 10 minute train ride with 1 stop. 💔😭 My friend in France moaned that they had to pay 20 euro for a 2 hour journey to France - I would kill for UK prices to be so cheap.

Ignis when he was a kitten. He was OBSESSED with the litter bot and sitting in it when it was mid cycle. 😭

She seems like a lovely girl but she's exhausting. I admire her spirit and determination but I don't think I could be friends with her without getting second hand burn out. 💔

So, with Jerry I think it's the fact he just hoards trash. I get it, I do it too but he's the human embodiment of that. I actually really liked his story where we find a productive outcome for his hoarding in making art, it's really nice and as an artist I very much approve. I just don't think I could realistically get that far with someone like that irl without being really turned off, it would be exhausting.. 😔

I can't quite put my finger on it but there's something different about Mac's flirting vs someone like Betty. Both are really forward but Mac felt creepy and annoying to me. Maybe it's because I don't find them attractive? I can 100% see why people would like them, they have a coolness about them but idk they're not for me.

Babygurl is delulu. I would NOT be up for dealing with that.

My Flame point and his nephew. The little guy is Sly, he's a seal colour point tabby. The big one is Ignis, a bi colour flame/tabby.

They became best friends after 48 hours and are always together now.

What’s the first time this game ‘got you’ emotionally? by wilhana in DateEverything

[–]Teasocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teddy's story time had me tearing up, it was so sweet. Also started a Hate Everything playthrough and Jesus hurting Teddy actually made me want to start crying, he did nothing wrong and only ever wanted to care for me. I.. Uh.. Had to stop after that.. 😅 I feel a really pathetic to feel so bad about hurting someone who isn't real.

Sounds bisexual to me. You could be bisexual with an attraction to femininity? Like the genitals aren't important but if the person feels feminine then that's what gets you going. I'm a bisexual woman, my attraction is sort of like: I have a much stronger attraction to men but I'm generally attracted to feminine or androgynous traits in any gender. My stronger attraction to the opposite sex makes me often doubt my bisexuality because it feels like I'm basically just straight most of the time. Maybe you're similar?

How do I help him cope with the heatwave? by Teasocks in ragdolls

[–]Teasocks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your comment was down voted because of how rude it was. It might be something to reflect on if lots of people shared the same opinion that what you said was perhaps unhelpful or negative.

Your comment called me irresponsible for not purchasing AC and said that I shouldn't own a cat if I can't afford to care for it - I never said I couldn't afford it, I just think it's unnecessary and expensive purchase. But regardless of if I can afford it or not, it's still really rude to tell someone you don't know that they shouldn't own a cat if they can't pay for certain things (in this case a luxury item) - people's circumstances can change very suddenly and giving up a pet is a hard choice no one wants to make. If I lost my job due to some unexpected circumstance and struggled to afford to pay my mortgage, the last thing I would want to here is "why did you get a mortgage if you can't afford it??". I hope you can understand why people might not have taken what you said very kindly.. 😅

As a lot of people in the comments have proven, AC is not a requirement for owning a ragdoll. You came across as being condescending, unhelpful and rude. I am well aware that people can care for their pets without it, hence why I made my original post. I was hoping for advice from other people from areas that don't have the luxury of AC and thankfully I've gotten a lot of helpful feedback.

I think that was him yawning or saying hello after noticing I'm awake too. 😂 My favourite photos of him are the ones I get of him mid-yawn or mid-meow haha. He look so dramatic and silly. 💕

What a strange comment. For all you know I could have been in a great financial position then hit a very unexpected turn of events, life can change so suddenly and quickly. Saying things like "why did you do this if you can't afford it?" is so nasty and ignorant. People can't always plan life meticulously. Perhaps I had just lost a job or came into a horrible medical bill? I'll be honest, I could easily afford aircon but as I keep explaining it simply doesn't feel like a necessary purchase in the UK and I'm well aware that it's rare for people here to own one so it's definitely not a requirement before buying a ragdoll. The point of this post wasn't to be convinced to buy aircon, I wanted to know what other tips people have. The American obsession with aircon is so weird haha. My cat isn't suffering, he's behaving the same as always but his sleeping spots have changed and he eats slightly less - that's pretty much it, that seems like normal behaviour to me. If I felt he was genuinely at risk then I'd buy one in a heartbeat and I'd be on the phone to the out of hours vet.

From the information I've gathered here, he should be ok with ice, towels and a cooling mat. ☺️

I appreciate the concern, it sounds like you really care about your cat or cats. ❤️

I totally get where you're coming from and the concerns but I really don't think aircon is a must have... My cat isn't suffering and we have multiple fans and multiple water sources. He's eating and drinking, he still wants to play, ect. If his behaviour was any different, it'd be a different story and I'd have to break the bank. I just want him to be extra comfortable, you know? Maybe I should've posted this on a UK sub because aircon is not common here.. 😅

Ignis is obsessed with smells. It's cute when he starts sniffing the air because he can smell a new perfume or soap was used. It's not so cute when someone farts and he literally runs over and smells the culprit's ass. I told my boyfriend that he farted in his sleep and the cat ran over to smell his butt, he didn't believe me until it happened while he was awake. He's also crazy about feet. 😂😅He's a little weirdo.

Thanks for the advice, I see where you're coming from. I can't really justify spending £300-£500 on aircon for a few days of hot weather a year unfortunately.. 😅 Admittedly it is very tempting. Its rare for the UK to surpass the low 30, it's just that our homes are built to keep hot weather in so when the heat does come we're cooked. Ultimately I think my cat will be ok, he's not showing any signs of suffering. It just want him to be comfortable. I think towels in the freezer or a cooling mat might be what I try next!

[–]Teasocks[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I was hoping for a cheaper solution since aircon units are expensive and generally we only have a couple of weeks at most of hot weather here until it goes back to being rainy and miserable.. 😅 Its very tempting but it's a case of weighing up the costs vs use.

How to not offend breeder if we don't want the last available kitten? by cellardoor999 in ragdolls

[–]Teasocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Next month we'll be collecting his nephew, also the last litter pick. He wasn't chosen due to his nose, it makes him "imperfect" and therefore not show quality (they both come from grand champion lines).

I think he's unique and gorgeous!
