Ragdoll Cats

I thought she was a Bengal, what markings!
Those Ragdolls are enormous...*sigh, I want a couple now...but I've sworn off pets for awhile longer and my big boofy p00fy boycat Ishka would NEVER forgive me.

Thanks for that reply, I dont really know what to do because the last thing I want is hair everywhere and i really hate kitty litter inside and I know they are an indoor breed.

The kitty litter is a big thing for indoor cats. I have found a brand that is the best I've ever used, it's called Oz Pet and i'ts easy to work, it uses two trays, a sieve type one inside another. It doesn't cause much odour from the cats at all and is quite easy to clean, it's very economical and it lasts AGES. But it's not sold everywhere, I have to drive an hour to another town to get my supplies lol.

We have a cat run built onto the side of our house, It's fully enclosed but our cats love it, and they often do their "business" outside in the run, which makes hassles less. We just lock them in of a night. They have their own bedroom, as my husband has allergies so sleeping with us is a no no. They are fine to have their own room, and they know they don't have a choice so most nights there is no protest...but like children sometimes we have the tantrums where they run and hide from you at bedtime....All part of being a cat owner LoL. I wouldn't swap them for anything in the world.

For the hair, there are a lot of products out there to help. Shed X is a great product that you give them orally, it helps lessen the hair loss. I would highly recommend you invest in a "zoom groom" its a rubber type brush/comb and it is GREAT to getting out loose hair, but best to brush them in an open space cause it can get a big messy, if you do this once a week the hair issue isn't reallllllly that much of a problem. Of course we have a Dyson vaccum with a power head lol, best investment I made when it comes to our cats. Some raggies will even tolerate you vacumming them, if you start young. We tried once with Caesar and it didn't go down to well, so we haven't tried again lol

Wow thanks NInah that gives me a few more options and a bit more to think about. Thanks for posting such a detailed reply.
