They say all cats wander by themselves, but one breed defies that rule.
Its representatives do not just wait for attention - they demand it, like children.
We are talking about ragdolls - cats whose reputation as "living plush toys" did not come out of nowhere.
Ragdolls choose their owner once and for all. They follow him around, sleep in his arms, and patiently endure children's pranks.
Their gentle nature is devoid of aggression: even in a stressful situation, these cats prefer to “melt” in your hands rather than release their claws.
The secret is in the genetics. The breed was bred with an emphasis on docility, which makes Ragdolls ideal family companions.
They get along well with dogs, do not conflict with other cats, and their quiet voice rarely disturbs the silence.
A characteristic feature of Ragdolls is the complete relaxation of the muscles in their arms. This trait, reminiscent of the behavior of a baby, enhances the feeling of defenselessness.
Owners joke that you have to try really hard to lose a cat like this - it will voluntarily jump into a carrier for a visit to the vet.
But there is a nuance: Ragdolls do not tolerate loneliness well. A long separation from the owner causes them anxiety.
But in response to care, they give all their tenderness, turning into a living antidepressant.
By choosing this breed, a person acquires not a pet, but a devoted friend whose love borders on obsession.
