Charlie with The Friendly Floppy Ragdoll Cat Book
Author Kim Maxwell of
The Friendly Floppy Ragdoll Cat and I decided to exchange our books (mine being
A Ragdoll Kitten Care Guide: Bringing Your Ragdoll Kitten Home ) and review them. So Kim sent me a copy of hers and I electronically sent her a copy of mine.
I have communicated with Kim either personally or through several Yahoo! Ragdoll cats groups that we both belong to as well as on Facebook for several years now.
Kim took a long time to do the research and gather the necessary photos for the book.
As it turns out, all of her hard work paid off.
The Friendly Floppy Ragdoll Cat Book Front The Friendly Floppy Ragdoll Cat is an awesome reference guide that helps with subjects of health, temperament, coloration, habits and more. It truly reminds me of a text book – where you can reference it whenever you have a question. It touches on everything you need to understand about a Ragdoll cat – without always going into the nitty gritty.
