LeCendrillon Ragdoll Cattery

20/12/2025

December at Lecendrillon Ragdoll Cattery has its own unique rhythm. 🎶

It is a time when everyday life slows down and, at the same time, fills with a special glow not only thanks to Christmas lights, but above all because of soft fur, blue eyes, and gentle purring that fills every corner of the home.
🏠
Our Christmas preparations begin a little differently than in most households. Before the Christmas tree appears, I make sure all feline supplies are well stocked from favorite foods and supplements to new beds which… more often than not, are quickly replaced by gift boxes. After all, a Ragdoll will always choose what we least expect.
The Christmas tree is a chapter of its own. It must be stable, safe, and ideally approved by the feline jury. Ornaments? Only unbreakable ones. Garlands? Hung a little higher. And the lights… well, the lights are an absolute favorite. The blue eyes of Ragdolls reflect their glow in a way that words can hardly describe.
💫💫💫
During this time, I pay even more attention to maintaining the cats’ daily routine. Calmness, regularity, and a sense of security are extremely important to them, especially when the house begins to smell of gingerbread and Christmas music plays softly in the background. With their gentle and trusting nature, Ragdolls sense the atmosphere perfectly they stay close, accompany us quietly, and observe, as if they know this is a special time.

Christmas at Lecendrillon is also a moment for reflection. Every cat raised in this home, every family that has welcomed one of our kittens, every message with a photo of a grown Ragdoll resting on a sofa all of this forms one beautiful story of love for this extraordinary breed 🥹🥹🩵💙

When the peaceful Christmas evening finally arrives and the cats gather around the tree, I know one thing for sure:
💙I could not imagine a better place to spend the holidays. A home filled with Ragdolls is a home filled with warmth not only the warmth of a fireplace, but above all the warmth that comes straight from the heart.

At Lecendrillon Ragdoll Cattery, we believe that the pre-Christmas season is about much more than material preparations.

It is a time to pause, slow down, and focus on what truly matters 💙closeness, mindfulness, and being present with one another… as well as with those quiet, furry family members who teach us calmness and unconditional love every single day.
🌟✨🌟✨🌟
May this special season become a time of preparation not only for the home, but also for the heart. A time of shared moments, meaningful conversations, gentle silence filled with understanding, and an atmosphere that welcomes everyone without exception. 
💙🩵Because the true magic of Christmas is born where there is room for all.

🎅❄️ St. Nicholas Day…..getting closer
Why a Ragdoll doesn’t fit in a box 📦 ?
On the kinds of gifts that can’t be wrapped
St. Nicholas Day is a lovely tradition
- smiles,small gifts,sweets,warmth.
But every year,the same question returns:
“Can I get a Ragdoll as a present for St. Nicholas Day?”
And every year I give the same answer:
No.Because a Ragdoll is not a present.
Not because they’re unsuitable.
But because they are too important.
Research on human cat relationships shows that a strong bond forms only when both sides are ready:
emotionally,logistically,and in time and commitment.
A pet is not a surprise it is a long-term decision requiring:
🩵stability
💙preparation
💜involvement
🤎responsibility

A Ragdoll is not a toy you unwrap on December 6th and forget about on December 7th.
They are beings who bond deeply very deeply.
Ragdolls have some of the highest levels of secure attachment among cat breeds.
This is the kind of cat who will sleep next to your heart.
Who will sense your stress before you do.
Who becomes part of the family not an ornament.
And yes,Ragdolls and children make a beautiful match.
They grow up together, learn gentleness and empathy from each other, and often form a lifelong friendship that warms the whole household.
But precisely because this bond can be so strong, it must never begin as an impulse or a festive surprise.
A relationship between a child and a Ragdoll deserves thoughtful preparation not a date on the calendar.

So I say it clearly, with full conviction:
🎁 You can give someone a blanket,a book, chocolate,a smile.
🎁 But a Ragdoll should only ever be given to a mature, well-considered decision,
never to a holiday deadline.

St. Nicholas Day is for giving joy.
A Ragdoll is for giving love.
And love does not fit in a box🩵

Tortie Ragdoll Girls ❤️‍🔥Queens of Chaos in Silky Coats

If Ragdolls had their own heraldry, the tortie girls would bear three symbols on their shield:

🩵a paintbrush,
💛a flamboyantly tossed ribbon, and
💙a warning sign.

Because tortie isn’t just a color it’s an event.
A phenomenon.
A moment when genetics opened a drawer full of pigments, sneezed, and the colors landed in a pattern no artist could replicate.
Anyone who has ever held a tortie Ragdoll girl knows:
repetition does not exist here.
Each one wears her “color code” like a pawprint unique, uncopyable, personally signed by nature with a cheeky “just for you.”

People say torties are like artists who never quite know what they’re about to paint but they do it with flair.

Genetics:where all this beautiful chaos begins
Tortie color appears almost exclusively in females.Why?
Because black and red pigmentation live on the X chromosome,and girls have two.
Nature essentially hands them two paint palettes and says,”Go wild.”
Some palettes mix neatly.
Most behave like a rogue impressionist in a hurry.
Tortie Ragdolls may come as:
🤎seal tortie~streaks of black and flame-red,like embers glowing in ash,
💙blue tortie~soft,cool,watercolor-like,
💜chocolate and lilac tortie~rare, dessert-like shades worthy of collectors.

And then there are mitted and bicolor variations that add contrast and geometry, turning a cat into a walking art-deco poster.

Personality: myth,legend,and just enough truth The world claims torties have”tortitude” a spirited, opinionated, slightly dramatic vibe.
Queens who expect petitions submitted in exchange for affection.
Ragdoll torties soften that myth.
Yes, they know what they want always.
Yes, there’s that little spark of regal mischief:”I’m sweet, but not without boundaries.”

But the classic Ragdoll softness remains:the flop, the melt,the “I shall collapse on your lap now, kindly adjust your schedule.”
This blend makes tortie Ragdolls feel like luxurious silk with a single metallic thread woven through intriguing,unexpected,and utterly beautiful.
Everyday life:small ladies of great theatrical skill
If you think fur color has no impact on personality… you probably have never negotiated breakfast with a tortie ragdoll girl.
They don’t meow they deliver monologues. Sometimes tender,sometimes demanding,always convincing.
Everything they do has a touch of stage presence,as if you should applaud them for simply entering the room.
But then comes Act Two:the cuddle.
They fold into your arms with such trust,such softness,such wholehearted contentment that you suddenly remember what everyday joy looks like.
A warm cat,a unique pattern,a moment that belongs only to you.

Why are torties so captivating?
Because they combine:
📍science-the intricacies of X-linked genetics,
📍aesthetics-coats painted like abstract canvases,
📍personality-gentle with a spark,
uniqueness-absolute and literal.

Tortie ragdoll girls don’t merely exist in a home they arrive.
Gracefully, luxuriously,tail raised like a painter’s brush and eyes saying,”Take note.I have entered.”
For anyone seeking not just a pet, but a story, an artwork, and a character in silk a tortie ragdoll girl is the answer.

There are moments when the world outside seems to rush by like a speeding train, and all you wish for is a brief pause a little silence,a little softness.And then,almost magically,a ragdoll appears.With the kind of grace only cats possess and a velvety gaze that melts even the hardest of hearts.I’m not sure there’s a creature on earth that understands the art of daily relaxation better than a Ragdoll.They don’t need mindfulness classes they’re born in a permanent state of zen.While humans worry about a thousand things at once,a Ragdoll simply settles beside you,stretches like a silk ribbon,and seems to say,”Easy now.It’s only life.Sit down.Breathe.Pet me.”
And it’s these tiny moments that make all the difference.One soft purr,one half-closed eye,
one tail draped over your knee that’s all it takes to remember that not everything needs to be rushed.With a ragdoll in the room,the world slows down,softens,and brightens,as if someone lined it gently with fur.Maybe that’s why people often say ragdolls are like little home therapists
the kind that heal without words,simply by being there. So when someone asks me what I love most about breeding ragdolls,I don’t hesitate:it’s watching these gentle,silky souls walk into new families and bring with them a kind of peace you can’t buy anywhere.
Because a ragdoll isn’t just a cat.It’s a lifestyle.A slower, warmer, more mindful way of moving through the day.And who knows maybe that’s exactly what the modern world needs.A bit of feline warmth instead of constant haste.And if someone thinks that’s an exaggeration… well,let them try cuddling a ragdoll just once.
I promise everything will make sense.

❄️ First Snow A Ragdoll’s Winter Wonder ❄️
There’s always that one morning each year when we open the window and the world feels quiet in a different way.Soft, muted, freshly painted in white.For us, it’s a reminder that winter has truly arrived.For our Ragdolls it’s the discovery of something utterly mesmerizing.The first snowfall in our cattery is a small spectacle on its own.The kittens approach the window like it’s a movie screen:some stare with the seriousness of tiny philosophers, others with the excitement of children seeing bubbles for the first time.Tails go up, eyes grow round, and we can’t help but smile at every reaction each unique, each adorable.There’s something magical about snowflakes drifting down, something that sparks curiosity and gentle excitement.We know it’s just weather, of course… but watching our cats, we begin to believe winter might actually be a little enchanted.When we take photos, we try to capture that moment of pure wonder that first “what is this?”, that soft Ragdoll innocence.
(And to be clear: all photos are taken under full supervision. We are strongly against letting cats roam outdoors. Any outdoor-like shots are always taken in safe, controlled, and fully secured conditions.)
The first snow outside the window may seem like a small thing, but in our cattery it turns an ordinary day into a tiny celebration.
Maybe that’s why we love these moments so much they remind us that magic often hides in the simplest sights.

Why do Ragdolls love people? The biology that looks like magic
When someone sees a Ragdoll for the first time, they usually say:
“He’s like a teddy bear.”
“He’s like a living pillow.”
“He doesn’t even look real.”
But the real magic begins only when a person sees how a ragdoll loves.
And here science steps in-in a way that surprises even the biggest skeptics.
Ragdolls have exceptionally high levels of oxytocin the bonding hormone responsible for affection, closeness, and the feeling of safety.
It’s the very same hormone that strengthens the bond between a child and a parent.
Studies on cat breeds have shown that ragdolls are among the most “social” breeds,
seeking eye contact, touch, and presence more often than others.
Not to demand anything but to be with someone.
And maybe that’s why people say that a ragdoll “understands.”
Because he truly observes.
He reacts to the tone of your voice.
He remembers your daily rhythm.
He sees when a person is falling apart even before the person fully notices it themselves.
Science says: “it’s oxytocin, it’s behaviourism, it’s breed predisposition.”
I say:
It’s one of the most tender beings you can invite into your home.
And the longer I work with them, the more I know that a Ragdoll does not attach to a flat, a room, or a sofa.
A Ragdoll attaches to your heart 💙🩵💙

☁️🐾 The Chronicles of the Couch Cats 🐾☁️
Once upon a time, in a land called “The Living Room,” three majestic felines ruled the sofa kingdom. The two in the center inseparable partners in crime -have mastered the ancient art of synchronized napping. Side by side, they purr in perfect harmony, spreading pure fluff energy across the realm.
Meanwhile, the third royal subject watches from afar, clearly thinking: “Peasants. You may cuddle. I’ll supervise.” 😼
Life with them is a mix of fur, purrs, and a never-ending battle for the comfiest spot on the couch. And honestly… I wouldn’t have it any other way 💕

💔 Our hearts are broken.
We’re writing this with pain and a deep sense of helplessness.
We took our healthy, happy boy for a simple neutering procedure… and he never woke up. 💔
It turned out that he had cryptorchidism-one testicle hadn’t descended.
In such cases, we always postpone the surgery and wait until both testicles descend naturally.
If they don’t, we only proceed with the operation later, when the cat is older and the procedure can be done safely-and always after discussing it carefully with our vet.
This time, the doctor made the decision on his own to continue and perform a more invasive procedure.
He didn’t call. He didn’t ask.
And our boy never woke up from anesthesia.
All we know is that we lost a perfectly healthy little soul who already had a loving family waiting for him.
💔 This is the first time in over 9 years of Lecendrillon’s activity that we’ve lost a completely healthy cat during a procedure.
Each kitten in our cattery is a piece of our hearts.
We put our whole life, knowledge, and love into this work.
And today, all we feel is pain, guilt, and emptiness for not protecting him the way we should have.
We don’t know what’s next. Maybe we just need time. Maybe this is the end… of Lecendrillon Cattery.
But we know many of you will understand/because loving animals also means facing fear, loss, and heartbreak.
Goodbye, our sweet Bilbuś… 🕊️💔
We’re so sorry we failed you.
