I found this great website that explains what its like to live with a ragdoll. (or 2, in my case). Visit it for details here: http://www.ukrcc.co.uk/right.shtml
Here are a few things I relate to:
· Toes poking out of the bed at 4am are a viable target for biting. (I add: or even if they aren't poking out, just because they poke up, they must be a mouse and pounced upon!)
· Anytime is playtime to a Raggie, regardless of what time it is!
· If it moves it's fair game!
· If I stick claws through net curtains how fast can mummy run the distance to un-attach? (I think I shall need to replace the landlords mesh curtain bits before I move out!)
· They like to be involved in everything you do!
· That those big blue eyes really can get whatever they want.
· Your bed is no longer your own, and how dare you even try to suggest to a Raggie that you want them to move over so you can get in it! (I add: Mine like to take over my pillow, and push me off it)
· Fur lined everything is not optional! It just happens anyway!
· Don't expect to get a clear view of the PC monitor while raggies are awake (Ha ha, except mine are napping in the bedroom at the moment!)
· Even guests can expect to be escorted to the loo when they visit! (And you can't shut the door- because they get upset!!)
· You feel guilty everytime you leave the house as there is always at least one pair of blue eyes looking at you pitifully!
· People owned by Raggies are at serious risk of heart failure, if anyone leaves an outside door open. More risk occurs when said owner runs around the house in search of Raggies which have gone to sleep in the only place you didn't consider looking in! More risk of looking like you need some pyschological therapy when tearing around the garden calling Raggies' names and panicking in sheer terror, only to find your Raggie half an hour later curled up, totally oblivious to it all, in the open draw under the bed!! (Mine go into the backyard- but my fright is if something doesn't get perched against the gate - they'll sneak under it!)
· Your glass of water was made for sharing, especially when you're asleep, but you don't realise until you drink some and find loads of hairs floating in it! (I now have a glass so they can drink water out of that- they much prefer it to a water bowl.)
· If you are on the loo, Raggie wants to come on too.
· Owning a Ragdoll is like having a child that never grows up (not good especially at 4.30 in the morning. )
· If you won't get up, said Ragdoll is going to find one hundred and one ways to make sure you do. Garfield has got nothing on Cadbury but we can't help laughing at him.
· You'll never have a clean litter tray because they're in there as soon as you've cleaned it or even while you're in the process of cleaning it out!
· Clean hairless carpets are a thing of the past, especially if you dare leave them at home for a few days - when you come back there is enough fur to knit a couple of jumpers! (Haven't dared to leave them yet, but it does build up when they play a lot)
· Expect to be much poorer for all the toys they get through and ones you "have" to buy them anyway just because

- Walking into the kitchen means of course that you've gone in there to feed them! you do!
Oh but you have to love them.
I could add my own list- but the above do suit them pretty well.
See how big they've grown?
