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.

The International Cat Association has very specific requirements that must be met in order for any animal to be registered with it. If you are looking for a show quality kitten, you should probably select a breeder from one on the association's approved list. This is the surest way to avoid problems with its pedigree later on.

Ragdolls are a specialized breed with very specific personality traits and physical characteristics. These are large animals as cats go, but traditionally very gentle, docile, and friendly. Lying limply in their owner's arms is one of the traits that comes to mind when describing them. Ragdolls usually mix well with other animals. They have unique markings, color combinations, and also beautiful blue eyes.

A household that includes small children may not the best environment for a kitten or any other type of pet. Young people do not always have good judgement when it comes to the treatment of a small animal. If you decide to introduce a ragdoll into your home, you will have to be careful to supervise any child's interaction with the kitten.

Kittens do need special care when they first join the family. They will have to be trained to use a litter box for instance. This job is often just a matter of making sure they know where the box is located, but some cats require a little more encouragement. Most young animals do not need to be given the run of the house in the beginning. You can contain them in a few rooms at first and then open your home to them gradually.

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.

Some ragdolls are not phased in the least by strange animals, traveling by cat carriers, unusual smells and noises, and handling by a variety of judges. Other animals can become traumatized and will never adjust to that type of environment. It will be up to you to make the best decision possible for your own cat.

Show cat or house cat, a ragdoll can be a great addition to your family. They will most likely turn into devoted companions and special friends for many years to come.
