I bought my sweetheart, Audrey, off craigslist when she was 7 months old. She is now almost 2. I am just curious what breeds you think she may be carrying. I think she resembles pieces of Ragdoll but also pieces of Maine Coon. Doesn't really matter, just curious! She will walk on a leash. She absolutely HAS to be involved in my every activity. She will just flop around in my arms (like a ragdoll.) She seems more dog-like than a cat. She will flop down on the hard wood floor*THUMP*and expose her fluffy belly for rubbing. She has caught 5 mice in the house since we moved to Minnesota in the winter! She was toilet trained when we were in Oregon, but once we moved she was having messes so we went back to litter box. She is shy and hides when strangers come around, but once she knows you, she is Very affectionate and playful. Sleeps on the bed with us and even cuddles up against me. She plays tug-of-war! Loves to bite the sheet while I pull the other end. She has little tufts of hair between her toes(no ear tufts,) a long fluffy mane and tail and rear haunches, but has short hair on her shoulders. Her hair doesn't need much grooming, brush a couple times a week to keep down the shedding, but have not had any problems with matting.

Wow, what a cat!! ...nice guitars too ;)

I personally am thinking ragamuffin :cloud9: but I don't know if her fur is, as described, thick and rabbit like?

Haha yes! I was thinking we are pretty lucky too! Her fur is pretty thick in spots, but short in others. It is silky, soft and fluffy though! Especially that mane around her face! I've pet rabbits before, I would say she has a similar feel.

I just read a couple articles on ragamuffin specifically and it sounded exactly like her! I wasnt aware of this branch off the ragdoll breed. The big dreamy eyes, the fur, the low maintenance, temperament. They all seem like a bingo.

She is beautiful and looks so sweet! I would describe her as a blue and white domestic longhair.

I have seen Ragamuffins frequently at shows, and they have a shorter, broader face, smaller ears and shorter legs than your girl... I am not personally seeing any resemblance to the Ragamuffin breed in her pictures, or the other breeds you mentioned. Also, behavioral traits are not a reliable indicator of ancestry in random bred cats. Most cats are not any particular breed.
