Hi, my name is Sheri. I have 4 children and several animals. We have just added a precious ragdoll kitten named Daisy to our family. She was a birthday present to my oldest daughter. I look forward to finding out any other information on ragdolls as although we have done our research , we are new to the breed. I do have one question. I had read that Ragdolls do not extend their claws, but I am not finding that to be true. Is this normal or did we get a one that doesn't fit the standard?
Here is Daisy . She is 10 weeks old .

Oh how very precious Daisy is, to be sure. We do have a Ragdoll board under Cat Breeds that you might want to check out.

Smile, it will make them wonder what you are up to!

I have a feeling that they mean that adult ragdolls tend not to use claws. All kittens get a little rough with both teeth and claws until they learn what is appropriate play. Also, I'm sure they will scratch on things because all cats do that to work the muscles and keep the claws clean and healthy. She is adorable and I'm sure she'll grow up into a wonderful cat! I have a ragdoll(or)ragamuffin mix and he's a great boy.
