Latest Update: The key to love really is through food, apparently.
After 10 months, Belle finally came up to me today, willingly, and allowed me to pet her. Only for a few seconds at a time, however, before flinching away -- like a moth to a flame. But regardless, I was able to stroke her back...
Update, for anyone that is interested.
Belle's tooth is fine. Her bald spots (either self-inflicted or caused by my whacking out mats) are grown back.
As for our cat-slave relationship, it is still regretfully lacking. I gave up on the daily petting long ago as it only seemed to give her...
Oh noooooo! I'm so sorry to hear that! :(
The first question I have is one you've probably already answered for yourself, but I'll ask it anyway: Are you certain there was nothing wrong with Meakha's collar? It didn't fall off at all, or move out of place, or run out of fragrance or anything? I...
Oops! I thought I mentioned that he was rather large in my original post! In his last weigh-in at the vet, he was a hearty 14lbs, which does not really help clear anything up -- a heavy Birman or a light Ragdoll. I suspect he'll get heavier with age, as most creatures do. The only reason I lean...

I was linked to a PDF of showing standards for Ragdolls and I'd have to...
I never expected you to do so! (: We all have goals and I know I dreadfully neglect mine all the time (yes, unfinished study guide for exam on Monday, I am looking at you). I'm glad that you decided to pick it up again with Dudley! It sounds like he's happy to have the attention again. I like to...
To less-experienced eyes like my own, they most certainly do.
In actuality, I know the bare minimum about cat breeds and am more than ready to defer to the wisdom of the users of this site.
Thank you! I believe he thinks so too -- he certainly always looks pleased with himself.
Aww, thank...
Shhhh, you are sabotaging my persuasive efforts, as my stepfather suggested Birman.
I'm advocating Ragdoll. I suppose it's hard to tell, however; they all look rather similar...
Hello, again. In order to settle a long-standing dispute in my family, I am turning to you kind folks for helping in best matching this cat to a breed. This is Oliver, though he also responds to Hey, You and Doofus. My mother adopted him from a shelter about five years ago and they said he was...
