Ragdoll Cats

The Ragdoll is a breed of cat made famous by the way it hangs limply like a toy rag doll when held. Ragdolls are selectively bred for their calm, easygoing nature.

Ragdoll cats are the largest breed of domestic cat. Some males weigh in at as much as twenty pounds and have lean, muscular frames. Ragdolls have a slightly round head with bright blue eyes. These cats have a bushy tail and a silky coat that is not prone to matting.

There are four main colors recognized by cat associations. These colors include blue, chocolate, lilac, and seal. Ragdolls have pointed markings that come in bicolor, mitted, and color point varieties. Ragdoll cats have very low maintenance coats that require little brushing and do not mat.
The Ragdoll cat’s easy going nature makes this the ideal cat for a family with children. They behave very much like a dog; Ragdoll cats will run to the door to greet you when you return home and they have a very affectionate nature. Ragdoll owners rarely complain of furniture scratching or other destructive behaviors.

Ragdoll cats are non-aggressive to the point that will not defend themselves when provoked. Because of this they should be kept indoors exclusively. Ragdoll cats are ideal for households with other cats and even dogs.
