Oh.. I was thinking like 4 months… lol I’m trying to figure out her birthday month
cats dont crack
Clean eyes and good dentition. Depends on the hair softness and meow, but my hot take is between 2 and 6.
17 or 18
She does look elderly I suppose lol but she’s def under a year here. Was just trying to figure out her birth month
Oh, she's young! Not old.
She looks like my ragdoll did at 17.
In that case I'll say about a year, since she isn't fully filled out.
Age is missing the point, she was HUNGRY! 🥺
Floof makes it trickier but I'd guess 4 months. And I would just celebrate her Gotcha Day.
She's beautiful in all her pictures of course
You're thinking she's less than a year - is she full size yet? If not measure and weigh her now. When she reaches her adult size/weight, work backwards from that.
It depends on the cat, but generally they grow quickly for six months, then slowly for six months, then they stay at that size, but bulk out a bit for 6 months.
I should’ve included her current size. Not sure how to add pics to the post. No idea how much she weighs in those first pics but currently she looks like this and weighs 11.3 pounds. 
The pics in the post are 3.5 years ago.
Ha, might be a bit harder to work out - but good to have a fully grown cat photo as comparison.
Looking at your "before and after" photos, and based on what my own cats looked like at 3, 4 ,5 ,6 months, I'd say your guess of 4 months isn't far off. 4 or 5 months?
Thanks! Yeah i was searching the internet for other ragdoll pics at various months and that’s what I came to with. Of course they’re all different, but I think the range is 4-8 months. So i’ll just pick an easy date to remember that falls in there.
Love the pic of your cats on the stairs btw:)
Ragdolls take 3 or 4 years to reach full size. They're not a large breed but they're bigger than average.
She'll put on between 1 and 3 more pounds, and get coat will get fluffier.
Based on your comments and the lankiness of her build in those pictures I'm going to guess 5-6 months old.
Hard to tell without scale, but less than 2.
Blue eyes could mean its still very young but in this case it seems she just has blue eyes.
This is what she looks like 3.5 years later
Well she is at least 4 years old then.
