A Ragdoll's Innocent Stare Beside One Very Tired Teddy Bear

AI imageragdoll catteddy bearcouch

The teddy bear has had a very hard afternoon. Its seams have split, cotton stuffing is spilling from its arms and chest, and one eye hangs by a thread. Beside it sits the seal point Ragdoll, looking up with big blue eyes as if she has no idea what could have happened. Her ears are neat and her fluffy tail is wrapped around her, and behind the couch there is a cozy scene of books, a mug, and a pair of reading glasses.

Soft toys are a common target for cats because they are about the right size to grab, kick, and carry around, which can mimic prey. Cats often bunny kick a plush toy with their back legs, and that is a very natural way of play. The problem comes when pieces come loose, because stuffing, buttons, and thread can be hazardous if swallowed. Check toys regularly and throw away anything that is falling apart. Give your cat toys made for cats, such as ones with catnip or crinkly fabric. Ragdolls are gentle, affectionate cats who often follow their people around the house, so a favorite plush can feel like a companion, even if it ends up in pieces.

She seems to think her puppy-dog eyes will wipe the slate clean. Nobody has the heart to be upset with her. The bear might get stitched up, and she will still be sitting beside it.
