How long do Ragdolls live?
My grandmother in the Czech Republic had one of our early Ragdolls for 18 full years. Its what kept her getting up every morning. She had a Seal Bicolor Male she named Cirda who was actually a tiny runt of the litter no one wanted. My mom gave him to my grandma not knowing the cat added a few years to my grandmothers life. If Cirda made it to age 18 with very limited vet care I would think Ragdolls live long enough to impact your life forever.
