Ragdolls colors come in a variety of patterns. Each pattern adds to
the uniqueness of the individual cat or kitten. Since Ragdolls are
slow to mature, full coat color is not achieved until around two years
of age, darkening over time. There are five recognized patterns in the Ragdoll breed. These patterns are: Colorpoint, Mitted, BiColor, Lynx Point
and Tortie Point.

further up the back legs.
