About the Ragdoll Breed

The Ragdoll is a large cat with a medium boned, muscular body. They have medium sized ears that are broad at the base and have rounded tips. The eyes are big, oval and always blue. Ragdolls have a soft, dense, silky coat that feels very much like rabbit fur. They are non-matting and low shedding. They liked to be brushed.

Ragdolls are bred in six color patterns. The color point with markings on points only. (face, feet, tail) The bi-color with an inverted white V mark on their forehead. The lynx has tabby (broken into strips) markings. The tortie/torbie which is available in two colors: red/orange or blue/seal. Also, now accepted are the red points or flame pattern.

Ragdolls are a slow maturing breed. They do not reach their full size until 2 or 3 years of age.
The adult male can weigh up to 20 pounds with females weighing 5 to 7 pounds less.

Ragdolls are known for their sweet and tolerant temperaments. They get along well with children and adults. They also, fit in well where there are other pets in the household. Ragdolls should never be outdoor cats, as they are not aggressive enough to defend themselves. Rags are a people loving cat that like to be around you all the time.
