Looking For TICA Registered Ragdoll Kittens?

By Helen Young


Who doesn't love a baby cat? They are usually cute, cuddly, and loving. If you are interested in extending your cat ownership to purebred felines, TICA registered ragdoll kittens may be a great addition to your family. Some people purchase these types of cats purely to show, some are content to keep them just as valued family members, and still others are looking for a combination of both. Whatever your goal, there are a number of things you should consider prior to buying one of these fascinating cats.

Someone looking for a purebred cat, should be very careful to research breeders and select only the most reputable for consideration. The International Cat Association has lists available online for you to choose from. If you are planning on showing your kitten, selecting one of these breeders will ensure that you have a pedigreed animal.

With their blue eyes and sturdy physique, ragdolls are becoming more and more popular with professional show people and private individuals. They generally have quiet, steady dispositions and are content around other pets and children. These cats are famous for going limp in human arms whenever they feel comfortable and secure. They mimic dogs sometimes when it comes to following their owners around.

Before you buy any animal, you should carefully consider whether your home environment and lifestyle are conducive to creating a safe and suitable setting for them. If you have children too young to understand the care and maintenance required of pets, you may decide to wait until they have had a chance to mature before introducing an animal into your home.

Your and your family probably have rules of household conduct that everyone is supposed to follow. It is no different for a pet. You new feline will have to learn what is and what is not acceptable behavior. Litter box use is a must, and it should be an easy thing to teach a kitten what you expect. Initially you can limit where the cat is allowed to roam and gradually widen its horizons as it gets used to its surroundings.

Not every cat is a candidate for professional showings. Only those with the right personality traits will succeed in this type of arena. The International Cat Association can be helpful as you decide the future of your new feline.

Strangers, noises, unfamiliar smells, bright lights, and traveling can be very upsetting if the animal is not adept at handling such situations. You will have to decide before you get into the business of registering for shows, and going to the expense that entails, whether or not your unique animal is right for it. You may want to try out a small local show to see how your cat responds to cat show demands.

Whether you are looking for a feline for show purposes, to simply live quietly in your home, or both, a ragdoll can be a great choice. One of these large, gentle animals can be a great addition to your family and will probably become your friend for life.
