should i trim? (long hair ragdoll)
I have been brushing Jake everyday getting him used to being pulled about

I just noticed these under his feet:


I read somewhere that you shouldnt trim Any hair for shows, but should I trim this? I obviously dont want to do anything I shouldnt do so whats the normal thing to do that wont ruin him for his show??

Under NO circumstances trim feet. They are part of the breed standard to have tufts there.

Re: should i trim? (long hair ragdoll)
this might be a stupid question.... but don't these cats slide all over the place if you have hard flooring??? (well like tiled floors, or laminated wood kind of flooring) ???

see... !!!!! I told you it was a silly question, lol.

No I just thought...

paw pads have grip (like us in bare feet)
hairy paw pads have less grip (like us in wooly socks)

so I though if they had hairly paw pads that they might slip all over the place on hardl slippy flooring.

Re: should i trim? (long hair ragdoll)
You're probably right that they do though apparently tufty feet are there for breeds like Maine Coons & NFCs & Siberians because of the snowy environment they would deal with (in Maine, Norway or Siberia!). I am assuming that Ragdolls have inherited this too being SLH. My MC does slip & slide sometimes but she does hurtle about at quite a pace & the Birmans slip as often & aren't as tufty.

Though, let's face it, it isn't very natural for any animal to encounter such a low friction surface as laminate flooring anyway.
