 The Ragdoll is a semi-long haired, blue-eyed pointed cat with a sweet personality.  The Ragdoll grows large and heavy, but is slow to mature and may not reach full weight and size for four years.  Full color is not reached until 3 years old.  The Ragdoll is muscular with little fat except on the lower abdomen fatty pad.  ALLOWANCES: Seasonal changes in coat.

 Ann Baker of Riverside, California developed the Ragdoll breed in the early 1960’s.  A pure white Angora cat, Josephine, a Seal Point Mitted type male, Daddy Warbucks, and a black cat, Blackie, believed to be of domestic cat descent were used to create the Ragdoll breed.  Ann insisted Josephine’s genes were altered after being hit by a car as her kittens born after the accident had interactive, loving personalities and would go limp in your arms, earning the “Ragdoll” name.  Denny & Laura Dayton went on to play a major role in the successful development of the Ragdoll breed recognized today.

 The Ragdoll is bred for it’s personality, they are relaxed, generally happy, many going limp in your arms and flopping like a stuffed Ragdoll, their namesake.  Ragdolls are outgoing cats, with a loving nature and laidback disposition.  Ragdolls are known for their tolerant attitudes with other animals and children.  Ragdolls are social cats and love to play.  Ragdolls are often compared to dogs because of their friendliness, intelligence and loyal character, often successfully taught to play fetch.

 Ragdolls take up to 4 years to reach full maturity with males weighing between 15-20lbs, and females 10-15lbs on average.  Ragdolls are a pointed breed, therefore they always have blue eyes.  Ragdolls come in three patterns: Colorpoint, Mitted, and Bicolor.
