Surprisingly, not many books have specifically been written about Ragdoll ownership.
While Gary Strobel and Susan Nelson wrote this guide (now in paperback) back in 1997, it still serves as a terrific mini-manual for those people planning to bring a Ragdoll cat into their family in the near future.
While the book may be criticized by some for being too simplistic, it’s a terrific place to start for ordinary people deciding to adopt a very extraordinary type of cat.
Along with the usual explanation of the various types of Ragdolls and their coloring and features, and the obligatory history of the breed, Stroble and Nelson spend a great deal of time in this pocket-size book discussing how important it is to find the right breeder and how to set up your home for your new arrival. Additionally, good information is to be found on finding a veterinarian, how to provide good care at home, and ultimately how to breed and show your Ragdoll once it’s old enough.
Copies of the book can be found under Ragdoll Resources to the right of this page. I strongly recommend it for first-time Ragdoll owners.
