Chihiro
came to live with us when he was almost twelve weeks old. He flew
to Western Australia on a plane from Victoria. He is a gorgeous pure breed
Ragdoll with a legitimate pedigree.
He has a funny little personality, and it is very close to the breed
standard, yet possesses his own unique flair. He is cuddly, fluffy, proud,
princely, mischievous and loves being carried around everywhere, although
when we first got him he was aloof and a bit of a snob. But I soon
conditioned him to be a floppy, lovable little man. Now he insists on
cuddles regularly and doesn't like it when he is left out of our daily
activities. He doesn't like it when I am cooking because I am paying
attention to the food! He follows you to the toilet and when you close the
door on him he will stick his little paws under the door and wave them
like a zombie while uttering peculiar meows. It is rather disconcerting
and a little creepy. He also has this strange habit of darting into things
when you are about to close the door! Chihiro also loves the challenge of
fitting into all the boxes, even if they are too small for him!
Chihiro is a fussy little man when it comes to food. I spent two weeks
trying to find a good food source for him and now we have it! He eats raw
food, Royal Canin biscuits, and wet foods with natural flavors, no
preservatives, no colors, and real ingredients! He also enjoys a bit of
cheese as a snack.
Chihiro is what you would call a ground hugger. He dislikes climbing high
and would rather spend his time sleeping besides you, sleeping on the
dining table chairs that I sit in, or lying on the ground, legs akimbo,
eyes wide. It takes a lot of encouragement to get him on the top of his
cat scratch. He is very amendable to handling and loves his harness and
lead walks! You could treat him like a dolly, carry him everywhere, put
accessories on him (not that I do this, but I like to put bandannas or
ribbons around his neck, loosely I might add!) or put him in boxes (but
makes sure he can get out when he has had enough). He loves everyone,
however, undoubtedly I am his favorite. Everyone who meets him wants to
take him home. Another interesting point to say is that I have a friend
who hates animals but now she actually doesn't mind patting and cuddling
Chihiro. Perhaps she will soon be converted into an animal lover!
Generally it all comes to trust if you want a floppy, lovable cat, and he
trusts me immensely, although I don't trust him because he may get up to
mischief somewhere! He is a forever family member and will stay with us
for as long as he lives.
