[edit] Article Tone/Bias

While I don't see any need for negative content in the article, the tone of the article suggests an inherant bias, and reads more like an advertisement than an encyclopedia article. I suggest the article be rewritten, with the same information, but with a less "buy this product" tone. Discuss. Jo7hs2 (talk) 17:25, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

I dont know what all changes were made, but I think its ridiculous that the article now states that it is a misconception that Ragdolls are named so because they go limp more often than other cats. As a Ragdoll owner and having grown up in a house full of them, I know from personal experience that this "anecdotal" evidence is simply true. Anyone who has ever picked up a Ragdoll knows this to be true. Period. Thesetrixaintforkids (talk) 02:50, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] generally a helpful article

I just was given with a Ragdoll cat and find this article helpful and informative. It's tone is more like enthusiasm than marketing, so it may not need any major changes.

[edit] New infobox image

I replaced the old image with one showing the full cat. Hope there is no objections. The old image is now in the gallery section.--220.255.x.x (talk) 10:04, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
