We have a ragdoll, too. Used to show him (#2 kitten in the Northeast US for TICA in '98). He hated it and we became pretty disenchanted with the cat-show politics. He loves to chew on the backing of Monokote, whether it is still on the Monokote or not. His partner is a Maine Coon cat who is fascinated with any human activity and wants to get involved, especially when i'm using epoxy or have dropped any object.
