Ragdoll Cat
Ragdoll comes from USA
California. He got his distinctive name from the floppy
appearance that resembles of a child's toy rag doll. When you
hold him in your arms, he relaxes completely and becomes floppy
as a rag. This feature is part of his trusting personality and
he does it only when he pleases and feels comfortable in your
arms.
Ragdoll is a very impressive looking cat, large and muscular.
Males can reach 10kg in weight, females being considerably
smaller. Ragdolls always have blue eyes. Beautiful silky
semi-long coat is quite easy to maintain. Ragdolls are slow to
mature, they will grow up to their 3rd birthday.
Ragdoll is a pointed breed, the traditional variety of colors
and patterns are 4 colours: seal, blue, chocolate and lilac, and
3 patterns: bicolor, mitted and colorpoint. Newer colors include
the red and tabby series. The color is also slow to develope,
taking 3-4 years.
Despite his gorgeous looks, the most outstanding feature of the
Ragdoll is his temperament. Ragdolls are very laid-back cats
having the most wonderful personality, being affectionate,
gentle, intelligent, playful and trusting. They always seek
their human's company and have a great sense of humor. They
remind you more of a puppy than a cat and get deeply attached to
their family.
Ragdoll is always an indoor cat because of his trusting and
fearless nature, and is comfortable even in a small apartment.
Ragdolls get along with other pets very well and are great with
children. Only thing they can't have is loneliness. If their
family is away long days at work or school, company of another
Ragdoll is the ideal solution.
