The top two of them look exactly like the Ragdolls that I took from the guy dying of cancer, Savannah and Sabrina.

What's the difference between Himalayan and Ragdoll?

Ragdolls are large, docile cats. They are sweet-faced and muscular, with an overall impression of elegance and balance. They have a medium-long, non-matting coat with a soft texture like rabbit fur. They are pointed in color (like the Himalayan or Siamese) and appear in seal point, blue point, chocolate point, and lilac point, with or without white markings.
If you want a large cat which is non-aggressive, loves to be with people, and is very placid, you may want to consider a Ragdoll. Also, if you love the look of a long-haired cat, but do not want the constant grooming associated with breeds such as the Persian, a Ragdoll would be a good choice.
The Himalayan is a cross between Siamese and Persian and has more of the facial characteristics of the Persian face and hair with the Siamese coloring. The medium-size to large Himalayan looks soft and round, but his stocky body, covered in a long, flowing coat, should be solid, not fat. He has a large, round, domed head set on a short, thick neck; small ears; and a snub nose. Large round eyes give him a sweet expression.
Lots more grooming with Himalayans because of their Persian hair which tends to mat.

Thanks kritter I never knew that. We had a white persian for a little while. We found her on our back porch after a snowstorm. Her paws were totally encased in hard snow and she could barely walk. We took her in and thawed her out. Put ads up everywhere and in the "found pets" section of our newspaper but no one ever claimed her. We couldn't keep her because she hated our dogs, especially our little yorkie-poo mixed. The cat was twice as big as he was and she picked on him all the time. We eventually found her a good home. |

They call me Hot Chocolate, yea, I do ok with the ladies.  Oh dear, I suddenly need a big, brown, boofy boy cat. The last one I saw was a Burmese. He was very sleek, suave and self-possessed. This guy in the pic looks like a British Shorthair, but I didn't know they made them in brown. He'd just tromple all over my heart, I can tell. And headbut me for good measure. |

I would hug him all up LOL clean, that was what I thought when I got my British Shorthairs - lots of big, fat cuddles! But they're only happy when they're on their own feet. If you pick them up they panic, and if you pat them when they don't want you to they politely move away. They're heartbreakers. Of course that brown boy might be an American Shorthair. I don't know how they differ from English ones, but maybe the temperament is more loving. |

It looks like the same cat, photoshopped in. Cute though!

I thought it was hilarious, especially the end (not giving any spoilers here!).

I don't think the cat has to worry about nightmares because I don't think he was watching a horror movie. Way too much expression and attention to be watching something he doesn't have a clue what is actually going on.
I think somebody was playing with a cat dangler or some other toy in front of him just from watching his head and eye movements.
So, no worry about cat nightmares.

I agree, Kritter. I think the soundtrack was added later. It's still funny as heck though. Very creative cat owner!
