Ragdoll Cat Forums

Louise, I forgot to answer your question about Bonkers. I think it's the angle of that one pic that makes him look large, he's a pretty average size. He is a shelter cat, so no pedigree but we think he's pretty handsome . Here's a close up of him, you can see a blur of Mocha sleeping on the lounge chair outside the window. This was before we brought him inside full time.

I thought Blue had vampire teeth, but Mocha's are the biggest I've seen! Maybe for February we should have teeth photos! Just a thought.

Judy,

I had the camera focused already just to get a nice head shot. Mocha yawned as if on cue! Are the vampy teeth normal for Raggies? Yes, a teeth photo topic for sharing pics, too funny!

Welcome to the forum. This thread made me smile so much. Youre such a wonderful person for bringing in a cat like that... and i bet you are glad that you did.

Thanks for sharing and i look forward to seeing more pictures

Thanks Meghan! I was just at Trader Joe's and had a new double wide scratcher in the cart for my fur-boys. A lady began talking to me about cats. The conversation came around to Mocha, and how I am pretty sure he is a Raggie. She looked shocked and said "WHERE did you find him"? When I told her that he showed up at my door she was literally speechless (I think she was jealous, hee hee).

My son Ray picks Mocha up and brings him to me all the time, just says, Here ya go Mom. Special delivery, so cute.

Edward and Puss Puss are gorgeous, glad I'm not the only one out there crazy about my kitty cats. Love this forum .

I have a question about the possible breed of my wonderful adopted cat. He showed up at my door, starving, his fur was awful and he was skin and bone. He was immediately trusting, and began following my children all over the yard like a puppy dog. We started feeding him as soon as he showed up, and he immediately adopted us. We have since sold our big (6 bedroom) house and moved to a small 2 bedroom apartment with our indoor cat, Bonkers. Of course we had to take our stray, named Mocha. He has adapted amazingly well, and after some initial stress, he and Bonkers are fast friends. Mocha seems to have all of the same characteristics and appearance of a Ragdoll. If he isn't lying on the floor next to one of my kids while they are playing, he is nearby. I'll show you some before and after pictures here:

Mocha when he first showed up, see his spine and malnourished fur.. it was so sad.

Do you think he might be a Ragdoll? He sure is precious, and very floppy. We LOVE him! Here is a video of him getting treats from my daughter. He always jumps up and holds our hands tightly with his paws when the Temptations are offered, it's so adorable. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Axmaqg2EnSU.

Thank you so much for your time,

Only other thing I can think of is a Raggie/Snowshoe mix, but that "V" on his head pretty much says Raggie to me.

Well, I think so, hee hee.. though I am no expert! I'll just call him a ragdoll .

Thanks Janilee, and welcome to the forum!
