Need some help, can't choose between 2 kittens (including videos)

Hi there,

I came to this forum for help. Im planning on buying a kitten, a ragdoll. I've seen 2 different kittens from 2 different breeders. The first one is a ragdoll kitten, from a woman who is breeding kittens for 13 years. The second kitten is a ragdoll x siamese and the woman who is breeding them is her first kitten nest. I find it extremely hard to make a decision.

Here are 2 videos. This is one from the first kitten (ragdoll)


This is the second kitten (ragdoll x siamese):


Could you help me with facts perhaps? Or just your opinion?

Thanks a lot!

PS: The ragdoll x siamese will he stay gray or is it possible that he will turn a lot darker/brownish)

The only thing I would question is breeding the Ragdoll with a Siamese.  Outcrossing is fine when done by a responsible breeder who has a definite goal as far as bringing something new to one of the established breeds.  If it was an oops or worse some kind of backyard breeding deal then I would be leery.

I'm sorry I'm no help! They are both so adorable so I say GET THEM BOTH!
I can't decide and the positive is they would have each other to play with.
I Love them both!!!

Always buy from a responsible registered breeder, also the ragdoll Siamese is displaying signs of fear in the video in my opinion.

Sorry, no help. Both are adorable!

I'm a believer that cats choose their humans, s if you can, go and see each one and see which one, if any, adopt you.

Agreeing with Natalie, my grandmother was giving away 3 kittens, a long haired black tiger, a long haired grey tiger and a short haired black tiger but not as dark as the long haired. I am usually a fan of long haired cats and was going to choose one of the long haired ones but something occurred that made me choose differently.. The short haired one sat next to me and stayed with me until I left, I got the feeling he was going to stay by my side forever and that's when I chose him instead. I named him Odis and to this day while I write this he is sitting next to me, I am so grateful I chose to take him home instead, he is the most loving cat I could ever ask for.
You should find out which one bonds with you the most and choose the kitten who picks you.

Which one did you choose?

Hope these facts help!

Both are cute but the first Ragdoll kitten looks the more confident so I would go with him/her seems a very sociable kitten

I breed Siamese and Balinese and they do not have asthma, heart disease or liver disease as long as you get a pedigree kitten whose blood lines are known. None of my cats or kittens nor my mentors kittens have a risk of these illnesses. Not sure where cats and kittens got this info. Of course any cat/kitten can carry illnesses if they are not bred from healthy parents.

A Ragdoll X Siamese is neither - no way to tell ahead of time the predominant nature. Might as well go to a shelter and rescue a kitten. So, with these two choices, I would say Ragdoll or shelter cat. PAYING for such a cross is unethical in my opinion.

I got the info from a trustworthy cat and kitten website. I was just doing some research, so I don't actually own a Siamese kitten. As you said, they are likely to get a disease if not bred from healthy parents.
