Answer :

answer:My RagDoll “Myles” is a big lovey, as per their reputation, but he is still ALL cat. Yes he is mellow but he is also a very shrewd hunter and as big as he is ( 17lbs.) he actually is extremely agile and can climb trees and swipe hummingbirds out of the sky with ease. Mostly he prefers to lounge around and sleep on my bed with his head on the pillow. haha Ragdolls are very laid back but they are still cats and possess all the usual cat behaviors. One thing that is very nice about them is that, inspite of having an extremely fluffy and dense fur coat they are low matting cats. I do brush and comb my guy daily and shave him in the summer, but, for being a long haired cat they really have pretty low maintenance coats. My short haired siamese sheds waaaay more than he does. I love my monster man! :-)
