I know! Our Ragdoll was called flame-point or red point then bi-color. I think they were only allowing the flame/red color in the last decade. Stella, as a Ragdoll female, should have been 10-12 pounds, but she hovers between 7 1/2 and 8 pounds and is already full-grown. She was the runt, I guess. No matter, we never had any intention of showing her and never even bothered to register her with FICA, etc. Beaux, is a flame-point Birman and at less than 2 years old, already weighs over 12 pounds. They are not full-grown until about 3 or 4. He loves his food, so I think he will continue to grow. The males can weigh upwards of 15 pounds or more. Stella, being smaller, still lets him have it whenever he crosses his bounds with her. She's the top cat!

I sure understand what you are saying. Crazy, isn’t it? Those little ones sure know how to run the show, don’t they. My little 27 lb is best friends with my 120 lb.

Doesn’t matter. I show because I like to show and I have this wonderfully conformed white shepherd with a wonderful disposition who wins everything he is in and his parents pretty much do too. So it would be a waste not to show him. I do like to show. It can be fun; but it has it’s drawbacks too of people that are playing all kinds of tricks.
