Second ragdoll?

[u/Comprehensive-Ant562]

Please help me decide if I should get a second ragdoll! I got my Ragdoll a little over a month ago and I am absolutely in love. He is so sweet kind cuddly playful curious (and adorable), everything you would hope. I think I always expected to get a second but not this soon. My breather told me that she’s going to have another litter in about two weeks and I can get one if I like. I absolutely love my breeder and she retires and one to two years. My Ragdoll is home alone probably 2 to 3 days of the week. I have a camera and will sometimes notice him meowing at the door but seems like he spends a lot of the day playing and sleeping. He seems happy to me but I am sure him having a friend would help those days alone. I think my thing it really feels like me and my partner have a really sweet family us three with her kitty. I keep on reading online that it’s good to get a second one when you’re first still young. I guess I just worry that we have such a strong bond forming with her first one and getting another get in the way with that. Would appreciate all thoughts!! Thank you!!

Yess! Also, the sooner the better :) they'll be a similar age, bond more easily and can enjoy their most playful years together.

Definitely yes. It helps with loneliness and also they have a playmate 7/24 which means no more waking up at 3 am because somebody is too bored 😄

YES

100% !!

When they’re together you will see. Ragdolls need each other.

Currently going through the process of introducing a kitten to a 10 year old resident raggie and it's going well so far.

I got 2 sisters together and never regretted it. They are lovely quirky little dolls and complement the 2 boys (regular barn cats).

I just got my second one last week and I highly recommend. My boy is 4 years old and has already accepted the kitten. Highly recommend, as I am also gone for work 10-12 hours a day 3 days a week.

yes definitely! i would always recommend people to get two kittens, it’s so much better for them. in many ways easier for you, because they play together a lot. my ragdoll got a shelter cat sister just before he turned 1 and he’s never been happier :)

Can you really have too many, I think not

[u/maleficently-me]

Absolutely yes! Btw, cute kitty -- is that a blue mitted lynx?

Yes I just got my 3rd one and I’m 75, My 5 year old girl instantly took up with the kitten and mothered it.
They play chase each other. Just know that each one will have their own unique personality and require individual attention from you. But it’s constant kitty liver around here. Never a dull moment
