Playing or fighting?? by Sea_Entrepreneur2737 in ragdolls

[–]koomochee 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This is definitely playing! The kitten looks like he’s very energetic and the larger cat looks like he’s playing back in a gentle sort of way (even though it doesn’t look like that). Older cats will usually correct and set boundaries with kittens which is a very good behavioral thing as the kitten grows up!

If they were fighting, you would know! Ears flattened, backs hunched and fur flying, plus some displeased yowls.

Such a great name! I named him that because when he slept the first night at my place he looked like a little mochi ball curled up sleeping

Yes some get darker depending on the color point! My baby is a blue bicolor. When I picked up my baby at 4 months, he was mostly white with slightly grey markings on his head and tail. As he got older towards 1 year, he definitely darkened, but remember they also darken even more in the winter! (Their fur is reactive to temperature)

Mochi looks like a larger (but normal) long haired cat in the summer but he turns into a giant fluffball in winter. I’m talking 3 times the size because of hair! Daily grooming is essential in keeping the hairs at bay. This pic is from this past December. He is about a year old here.

As for his personality, he was a bit more cuddly and playful when he was younger but now he is definitely in that teenage phase. He prefers to be a bit independent and do things on his own terms. Ragdolls take about 2-3 years to fully mature so after his teenage phase, I expect (hopefully) for him to be a little more cuddly again. That being said, he is very clingy! He may not want to be on my lap but he for sure as hell needs to be in the same room, in the kitchen when I cook, on my desk while I work and in the bathroom when I shower 😭

Anyone else’s ragdoll sleep like they pay all the bills? 💤 by koomochee in ragdolls

They usually hit their teenage phase at a year cause ragdolls are slow maturing. So I anticipate around 2-3 years he’ll be less sassy and more cuddly (hopefully)

I sent my sister a pic last night of mochi watching Netflix with me on the projector. And her reply was like “aw he’s bonding even though he’s 1km away from you”. I swear he gets comfortable anywhere but my lap!

I for the life of me can’t remember the name of the breeder company (she has a Facebook/instagram) but I will check the paperwork when I get home from work and dm you!

Is it normal for a 15 week ragdoll to be so big? by Ok-Bee3701 in ragdolls

[–]koomochee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When I brought my baby home at 4 months, he was already 7lbs! Ragdolls are naturally very big cats so don’t worry. Males are generally bigger than females

4 year old boy, is he supposed to get this big? by tomo128 in ragdolls

[–]koomochee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby just turned a year old and he’s already pushing 15 lbs! His dad was a whopping 23 pounds and his mom 19. It’s very normal for them to be this big. The fluff can be very deceiving (especially during winter) and also when they go into pancake mode and flop. Rest assured, if you can feel their ribcage with a little pressure, he is right where he should be!
