Hi we picked my kitten up on Monday I was told she was full ragdoll but don't have papers .. she's very small would every one say she's full ragdoll ? Thanks Jasmin
How old did the vet say?I don't know what to think iv had that may mixed messages ... she's meant to be 8 weeks but I really don't think she is!
You beat me to it by fourteen seconds, but at least we agree. When Stefan comes along and agrees, we'll have a Triple Balinese.Ragdoll points are different though, more like an inverse "v" on the forehead. Your kitten could have some Balinese influence though!
Go with the vet on the 5-6 weeks old. The vet has many years experience in aging. I have bottle fed 4 week old kittens and my boy came to me at 5-6 weeks old. She looks 5-6 weeks old to me too just from what I have seen on here. You came to a cat website with a very active community who know and love their cats and people on the other thread agree she is younger then the 8 weeks you were told. I would say it is unanimous that she is at oldest 6 weeks old.The vet said he thought she was between 5-6 weeks but if was 8 weeks was in bad condition so I don't know what to think .. got her from an advertisement online
Abyeb is equally familiar, and perhaps even more familiar in a great many cases.
The people lied about her age and her breed. She is not a purebred Ragdoll. That is another common thing with online ads. They lie to up the price and entice people. Ragdolls, Siamese, Bengals, Spinx, and Persians are the most common ones I see. There is a chance they didn't know better because sometimes shelters will label cats with no real basis for doing so or they were sold a cat thinking it was pure too and decided to make some money off it. You have me who is fairly familiar with the pointed breeds in a general sense, @1CatOverTheLine who is very familiar with genetics and points, and others saying that she is not a ragdoll (@StefanZ can you chime in as you are really good with breed identification too?) A beautiful little pointed cat, a special cat with some special lineage, but not pure Ragdoll. Please believe us.
Sorry for leaving you out @Abyeb
