good if you have never had a cat
Didn’t seem much different than caring for any type of cat. I’ve had cats all my life so not much new except some of the recommended items for cat, but none of the links worked which was annoying. But love the website. And Ragdolls. Just letting you know so you can fix the links.

From the Ragdoll cat owner
The author is not a professional in the cat field but a Ragdoll cat owner (she had five of them) who shares her experiences. In addition she also promotes her website where she hosts videos discussing the breed and recommends products and earns money through affiliate links. This book was originally written in 2010 and includes revisions.I liked the tone and the attention to details in the book. Dean's descriptions are detailed and thorough, she covers both the pluses and minuses of the breed, and her affection for the her cats and the breed oozes from every page.The book is full of cute pictures showing Ragdoll cats and kittens. She covers a lot of territory from the breed traits to food/snacks, from toys to behaviors, from fun tricks to teach your cat to medical issues.Ali Julia review

Great Book for a first time ragdoll KITTEN owner or refresher!
This is a great book to get you started. It is full of very useful information and if you purchase the e-book, the links actually work! There are links to several products Jenny recommends and also some very cute videos of Jenny's ragdoll cats testing the products!!! Jenny is quite funny too when she is talking to them in her kitty voice!I am an expectant ragdoll mom waiting for her kittens to reach 12 weeks old. I had the pleasure of caring for our ragdoll Merlin who passed away almost 2 months ago. While I was researching breeders (which i strongly recommend) i came across this website and Jenny's book. I realized this is the first ragdoll KITTEN I would be caring for so I purchased the e-book and I am glad I did. The website and the book have given me alot of useful information and the website is my favorite place to start when I am looking or researching a product.As a bonus, if you have any questions, you can email Jenny directly. She answers her email right away and if she can't give you an answer, she will volunteer to ask people she knows or will point you in the right direction. She is so friendly and knowledgeable. Her ragdolls are so gorgeous too! I love all the videos...check them out on her website or on youtube!Thank you Jenny Dean for the book, your website and all your videos!!!!!!!

EXCELLENT resource for bring home a new kitten. More than just another Cat Care Book.
Jenny Dean has created the total package of what an E-Book should be. A Ragdoll Kitten Care Guide is easy to read and entertaining, simple to search and contains unexpected content. It not only tells, but shows what the new kitten owner needs to know. There are links to videos, products, and the information presented is from real life experiences, not repeated from other cat books. There are many quick, simple tips that can be used with Ragdolls and Maine Coons. Any large cat has different needs and Jenny addresses these in her book.The book is well priced for the value. Purchasing it before you bring your kitten home will help you make good choices as you shop to get ready.I'd suggest that breeders may wish to include a copy when they sell a kitten. It would save them a lot of time answering phone calls and emails from concerned new kitten parents. Well worth the small investment.This is an excellent resource for people purchasing a new Ragdoll Kitten, people who already own one and want new ideas, and anyone interested in the breed. Yes, Ragdoll Kittens are different from other cats. You have to meet one to truly understand, but Jenny does a great job explaining the breed.I recommend purchasing this book.

A Wonderful and Quick Guide ~ Perfect!
Delightfully informative and reader friendly, this often candid and practical guide was exactly what I was expecting from author Jenny Dean. I couldn't wait for it to arrive! I am an extreme fan of Jenny's hugely successful blog/website, Floppycats.com, and I knew that her book would be a perfect resource for me as I welcomed my new Ragdoll kitten. Jenny didn't miss a thing in her successful care guide! I enjoyed my quick scan and then a later, a more focused read. Although Jenny originally published all of her "hands on information" as an eBook, she is more than happy to send you a digital version of the book that includes all the clickable links you will find within the pages of the hardcopy. Jenny is creative, bright and ingenious in her loving devotion to the significance and well-being of the beautiful Ragdoll cat. As a longtime Ragdoll owner and lover herself, Jenny doesn't just write from knowledge and eduction alone, but truly from her heart. Thanks, Jenny! Your guide is more than refreshing and a wonderful little "go to" as I begin my Ragdoll journey!

Happy
My husband and I recently brought home a Ragdoll kitten. Although I grew up with a Ragdoll, I have never, as an adult, owned a kitten. It had also been several years since our family cat passed, so I felt a little nervous about what to expect and do with a new kitten. And my husband has never owned a cat.I bought this book to help us prepare. I really liked how easy it was to read. I liked how the chapters were arranged and although some complained that there was too many product recommendations, I actually appreciated that. I like when people share what products they have tried and like or don't like. I also found the list of questions to ask breeders very helpful. As a matter of fact, I wish I had that list before I shopped for my kitten.I also emailed the author with some questions and she quickly responded. In the same day!This book was very helpful and it is one I will keep and reference.

An easy and informative read.
I really enjoyed reading this book. The Author is honest that she is not a veterinarian nor a breeder. The advice that she gives is her opinion based on her her personal experience of ragdoll ownership. It is set out in an easy to read style. it has a lot of brand specific recommendations for cat products, but they can just give you ideas regarding similar items to get for your ragdoll. I really enjoyed the photographs of ragdolls doing various things.

A complete guide
Really enjoyed reading this book (took me less than 2 hours). It has all the info you need to know for prepping your home for a new kitten as well as how to care for it, shopping lists and other neatly organized info.Of course you could get all this info online but I like having it organized into a book as I can go back and read some sections whenever I need to.I especially liked the 'essentials checklist' and the 'care calendar' which lists the steps you need to care for your cat as well as how often you should do them.If you're getting a Ragdoll or already have one, this is a complete guide so I highly recommend!

Absolutely brilliant, thank you Jenny.
Absolutely brilliant, I have been a cat owner all my life but I still learnt so much from reading this book, I also learnt a lot about my previous cats too. I am planning on getting a Ragdoll kitten later on this year and really wanted to do my homework, all of my previous cats have all had long and happy lives but I wanted to be sure as this was my first Ragdoll and first actual kitten that I knew as much as possible, this book really helped. I found Jenny through her YouTube channel Floppycats, I love watching Trigg and Charlie’s videos all of the time and they have inspired me to get a Floppycat of my own. I can highly recommend this book and Jenny’s YouTube channel and website.

An excellent all round helpful guide
This is my first ragdoll cat well my first cat realy , andI bought her from a show breeder and wanted to make sure she was looked after properly for,her breed. This book is very xo prehensile and ideal as it is delivered to your kindle I have it on my iPad. It's a good read, great for referring to a must read for anyone considering getting one of these cats due to the upkeep of them and managing of them as they are high maintenance in the fur and food department. A raw food diet I would recommend.
