Ragdoll cat details

Ragdoll cats are a specific breed of cat that originated in the 1960s. The name comes from the fact that many ragdoll cats loosen when you pick them up, similar to what a doll feels like. Unlike most “independent” cat breeds, the ragdoll is much more sociable, often following its owner for more attention. Ragdoll behavior often mimics dog behavior rather than typical cat behavior. “Man’s best friend” in the cat world, so to speak. He is a faithful and loving companion.

The rag doll is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest cat, with males weighing between 12 and 20 pounds and females weighing between 10 and 15 pounds. The body is usually stocky with short legs and generally large in size compared to other cat breeds. The rag dolls have long, thick fur coats with markings that resemble the Siamese cat breed. The four marking patterns for ragdolls are: bi-color, van, mitted, and pointy. This breed of cat generally comes in six colors: seal, chocolate, lilac, blue, cream, and red. Points can be solid, lynx, or turtle.

While rag dolls do clean well, you’ll want to make sure you brush them to prevent them from getting tangled in their fur. Ragdolls are known for their calm nature, although each individual has a different personality. Before purchasing your rag doll, make sure you are informed about the proper diet, veterinary needs, one-liter box needs, and cat protection in your home so that your rag doll is happy and healthy. After all, your rag doll will be your companion for an average of 15 to 20 years!
