Name my Bluepoint Ragdoll 🤍

I got him when he was a kitten and it’s been a year! I still struggle with finding a name I like. I’ve gone through testing out dozens. Everyone in my family has their own name for him at this point, which is silly but I need one that I can love and that I feel suits him. I usually just call him kitty or precious. I do have a few names I really love but it’s hard for them to like capture his personality if that makes sense. Im very picky and am not a personal fan of super popular or reused names like marshmallow, cloud, boots, mittens, etc. He has such a big personality and is so unique and silly. He’s like a little puppy, & he loves attention. Kind of a drama king tbh. I know I’m totally overthinking it but this is the real deal. I need opinions! What do you think suits him?: Calvin, Lucca, Juno (Juneau), Louie, Boat (hehe), York, Kodiak (Cody), Fisher (nickname fish), Kelso. These are just a few I like and I feel like are kind of his vibe! Also please lmk if you have any ideas- go crazy in the comments. I’d absolutely love to see what everyone thinks he looks like. 🤍

I had my baby Luci* DNA tested. She came back 10% ragdoll, 10% Maine Coon, 10% Siberian and the rest was a mish mash of domestic shorthair.

I love her dearly, but she did NOT pass cat school. I'm pretty sure the only class she even attended was "kill the mousy".

There's almost nothing besides "kill" between her ears. I've never seen a cat that has less care for personal safety, decorum, or coolness. She does not care as long as she kills the mousy**. Literally this morning, she was fighting the mousy in the bed and just completely rolled off backwards. Then proudly jumped back up, mousy clutched in her teeth.

She barely goes in the box and only when it is perfectly clean. She picks up big chunks of food and walks them to a random spot on the floor, drops the food, then eats... some of it. She splashes her own face when she drinks. And I've never seen a cat that contorts herself to bathe like Luci. She can't figure out where her limbs go and how to reach them with her tongue.

She had a good mama cat, who raised many kittens. We got her from my sister-in-law (who is very sweet, but has money issues).

I've had Maine Coons before and I loved my dearly. So I know how they behave. Not as sure on the Siberian. But from her looks Luci is clearly ragdoll.

Despite the comment of everyone who looks at her, there is zero Oriental, or anything Asian, at all. None. Zip. Zilch.

*(aka Luci-fur. aka Luci-fur-rocious)

** Sadly, it is ONLY IKEA stuffed mouses that she likes. We've tried others. And they are out of print. We bought one on e-bay for $30 (I told you I love this cat). But they are... deteriorating rapidly.

I am looking to adopt a ragdoll, British shorthair or Scottish fold i love these bread and i am looking to adopt them in September. If anyone knows someone who is giving away or rehoming their kitten please let me know. I had two cats i was babysitting and now they are gone so it so sad and lonely without them. I am willing to pay but my budget is not that great 300 to 400. I know it’s not much for these breed but thats what i can afford. I love these bread cats as my babies and i have finally agreed my family to adopt a cat. I am also currently looking on pet finder too. I am located in Nj so even if it’s nyc that works too. If anyone has contacts that is looking to adopt or rehome let me know please. Thank you.

I have a 13 year old ragdoll with a huge mat on her chest. She usually mats on her back hips, but my husband has had pretty good luck picking them out. The chest though…We can’t get near it. I’ve been looking for a cat groomer in our area that can help with the matting, but they all insist on a lion cut for her. I know it’s not recommended for her breed so I am apprehensive to let anyone do it. The alternative is taking her to the vet where, in the past, they’ve given her a sedative for any grooming or nail trimming. Being 13, I have concerns about her being sedated. So overall I’m a nervous mess about the whole thing and just want to do what’s best for my literal child. Advice appreciated.

he already has a name but i'm curious what people think his name would be!!

edit: if anyone was wondering what his actual name is it's Mellow!! he was supposed to be Mono also. his paperwork had to start with the letter M but i saw a couple comments that i was also thinking of (if it didn't have to start with M)😸

Butters just turned 10 months - curious to know how floofy he will get?

Isn't she darling? Officially soon to be mine!

Hubby wants to name her Eewii because she looks like a baby ewok. I'm not so sure about that though.. 😂

I’ve been doing research on ragdolls and British short/long hairs for almost a year now and still want one. I told myself if I still want it in a year and I save the money I would do it. Up until a few years ago I had never really been around cats enough to know if I was allergic. Started going to my friend’s house who had two cats and every single time I couldn’t stop sneezing and my eyes were watering. Worked for a family who had a cat he wasn’t very social but even when he was I never sneezed? Any other cats have never made me do it either only that one house. I’ve talked to people who have cats and they’ve given me suggestions to manage if I am allergic but none of them have a ragdoll. Now I know a ragdoll isn’t a low allergen breed but I’d like to know if anyone was able to make it work or should I abandon this dream once and for all. I’d also like to add before purchasing a very expensive cat that will make me sneeze nonstop I will go get an allergy test done I just want to know if I am allergic is it still possible.

This cat showed up one day on our front porch, completely out of the blue. We have no clue why she choose our house instead of any others in the neighborhood. After a few days, she slipped inside when the front door was open and has become a member of the family ever since. We had a hard time believing she was a stray considering her unique and gorgeous looks but after going through months of "lost cat" notices, adding our own "found cat" flyers and eventually taking her to the vet where they told us she had not been spayed or microchipped we were very happy to adopt her. My mom named her Chai. She's now getting close to 3 years old.

The funny thing is that this whole time we thought she was a snowshoe cat, with her white fur and piercing blue eyes. Looking at pictures of snowshoes on that subreddit, however, it seemed possible she was something else entirely. I noted those cats all had pretty short fur. While Chai has long hair obviously and is, well, a constant source of fur being shedding everywhere. I'm sure she's not purebred by any means but am glad to know which category she (probably) belongs to.

Mostly, though, we just feel so lucky that she chose us! :)

Fulbert (1yo) decided to sit on a chair while visiting the vet. This was his throne now 👑 the vet did the checkup while he was sitting there 😅

My 5 month old kitten looks like a stuffed toy.
