agdolls are large, very loving, docile cats with semi-longhair and big blue eyes in the pointed variety. The Ragdoll body is light-colored, with darker points on the face, legs, tail and ears, resembling that of the Siamese markings. The ideal Ragdoll is a well balanced cat, with no extreme features. Altered males can reach up to 25 pounds; while females are proportionately smaller, reaching 10-15 pounds. Ragdolls are a slow-maturing cat. Ragdolls reach full coat color at around two years of age and their full size and weight at about four years.

s well as, the pointed variety, Ragdolls also come in solid, sometimes referred to as self-colored or non-pointed variety and mink/sepia (the above description holds true except in eye color which is often aqua, a blue/green coloring and green/yellow in sepia and solids). Most main stream breeders choose to breed using pointed colors only. Just a few kept breeding with the Mink and Solid bloodlines (approximately 30 breeders), so these are extremely rare to find. These old lines trace back to IRCA Ragdoll breeders and some trace back to Ann Bakers cattery and provide additional color to the breed of Ragdolls. *Word of caution: please be sure when purchasing mink or solid Ragdolls that the pedigree states they are SBT registered Ragdolls in the TICA association (in other words purebreds).

agdolls adore their human counterparts. Sometimes being referred to as more like a dog in that manner. They run to greet you at the door, follow you from room to room, flop on you, sleep with you and just love you to death.

hey are gentle creatures, carefully avoiding scratching people and are good with children, elderly and dogs. Ragdolls also tend to be floor cats, by this I mean they do not enjoy jumping and climbing on everything they way some other cats do. They prefer purrs to yowls and keep their voices soft and quiet. They are normally well behaved and eager to please.

ue to their extremely friendly nature, Ragdolls are definitely indoor cats and should NEVER be allowed outdoors without supervision.

agdolls groom and bathe their silky coat themselves. Once in a while though their owners should give them a brushing with a steel comb as part of their cuddling, and most Ragdolls will enjoy having this done. Ragdolls do shed, not the same like other long hair breeds, in comparison they are a low maintenance cat.

s with most cats, providing acceptable scratching surfaces (scratching posts) disapproves of declawing and are essential elements for maintaining a happy and healthy life.
