Story
Bandit is a very friendly 1yr old ragdoll. He likes to play with his sister Bella, hang out in his cat condo, and will follow you around the house. He has never shown any kind of aggressive tendencies (I dont think he even has any), doesnt bite/etc. I would like to rehouse him with his sister Bella (as they have been together since they were kittens)

Ragdoll fun facts

Fun Facts:

Ragdolls get their name from the way their body so easily goes limp like a rag doll when they are held or relaxed.

The Ragdoll's founding breeder, Ann Baker, claimed that the founding cat of the breed, Josephine, was taken to a a secret laboratory where government testing influenced the kitten's appearance and personality.

The creation of the Ragdoll was fraught with controversy. Ann Baker made it incredibly difficult for other fanciers to contribute to the breed’s development, going so far as to trademark the name, litigate with breeders, and send wild letters to the media.
