Interesting. I used to show cats. But most of my cats the last few years are from rescue groups. I do, however, own a purebred Ragdoll. I joke that he is defective because he is not a lap cat and you can't carry him around like a ragdoll. He is a beautiful cat though with a very sweet personality.

Kitty, Funny story about ragdolls. Years ago, probably decades ago I went to visit my sister in Southern California, and she had a cat that would go limp when you picked him up. She worked for a non-profit agency that was in an old house and two cats had had litters in the garage and he was from one of the litters. When I got home to Connecticut I was going through the pages of my husband's cat-a-day calendar and they talked about the ragdoll which described my sister's cat.

I love cats!! I always do rescues instead of breeders but still tend to get selective with what I want. I need them to be relatively mild mannered since I have the kids plus I don’t want to get maimed just walking down my own hallway! I am also big on fluff so the long hairs are my preference. I had a couple of Nebelungs in the past and now have what looks like a Norwegian forest cat. The big fluffy bodies, scruffs and tails get me every time!

Wow! The prices of some of them are crazy!
I'm a new cat owner. Just a little black and white stray that my brother had. He had 5 cats, all rescues. This one didn't do well with the others so now I have her and I'm very happy.
I was talking to him last night and another cat found his way to the house. There was a black male outside trying to get in. They checked around and no one has claimed it. Took it to the vet and no chip or anything. So they are going to get it neutered and now are back to 5! All of their cats are very sweet and snuggly.
One of their cats looks like a Maine Coon or Norwegian forest or mix. They now have mom's cat and we are pretty sure that's a Russian blue. But they were both rescues.
