Also, this is my first ragdoll, she is still a baby getting her shots, have you heard any controversies with regards to FIP vaccine? The vet says they will not fix her unless she gets all her shots, yet i heard this breed is not supposed to get the FIP. Comments, please.

I give a blob about the size of my little fingernail and she licks it off my finger. By the way, I've never had a cat that enjoyed combing & brushing as much as she does -- sure makes it easy to keep her coat like cashmere.

I don't know if we are lucky or if it is her Royal Canin #34 Hairball cat food. The breeder raised her with it, the previous owner's did not change it, and we have not changed it either. It smells horrible, but she will not eat anything else. I guess it is don't mess with a good thing or a cat's food. Absolutely no hair balls and she grooms herself almost all day long!!
