About the Ragdoll Breed:
Ragdolls are large, loving, laid-back longhairs with beautiful, big blue eyes. The body
is light-colored, with darker Siamese-type points on the face, legs, tail and ears. In
most patterns, the points are partly covered with white markings. The ideal Ragdoll is
a well balanced cat, with no extreme features. Altered males may reach 20 pounds or
more; females are proportionately smaller. Ragdolls are slow-maturing, reaching full
coat color at two years, and full size and weight at four.
Ragdolls adore their humans. They run to greet you at the door, follow you from room
to room, flop on you, sleep with you, and love you. They are gentle, carefully avoid
scratching people, and are good with children, the elderly, and dogs. Ragdolls tend to
be floor cats, not jumpers. They feel that humans prefer purrs to yowls, and keep their
voices softly musical.
Ragdolls are considerate of humans’ busy schedules, so they bathe and groom their
moderately long, silky coats themselves. They should be groomed with a steel comb
as a part of cuddling (“one hand stroke, one comb stroke; one hand stroke, one comb
stroke...”), but most never need it. They shed very little, rarely have hairballs, are well
behaved, and eager to please.
There are four patterns: bi-color, van, mitted and pointed. Patterns come in six colors:
seal, blue, chocolate, lilac, red, and cream. Points may be solid, lynx, or tortie. CFA
now accepts all patterns for showing..
Pointed Ragdolls have the classic, Siamese-type markings. Mitteds look like they went
wading in whipped cream and sneaked a sip: their chins are soft, fluffy white, and so
are their mittens and boots. Bi- colors look like they went swimming in whipped cream
and dunked their faces in for a deep drink. All four legs, their underbodies, chest, and
an upside-down “V” marking on their faces are white, and they may have a splash or
two of white on their backs. Only their tails, ears, and the outer part of their masks
show the darker markings. Vans look like they nearly drowned in whipped cream. Only
the top of the mask, ears, and tail, and perhaps a few spots on the body, show darker
markings.
Ragdolls were developed in the 1960’s by Ann Baker; a breeder in California. She
bred Josephine, a loving, gentle, longhaired white female carrying Siamese markings,
to other longhaired cats carrying Siamese markings. Her original stock consisted of
sturdy, free-roaming cats. By selecting individuals with the look she wanted for her
breeding program, she created the type standard for the Ragdoll.
Keeping such a rare treasure indoors, neutering or spaying and providing acceptable
surfaces (e.g. scratching posts) for the natural behavior of scratching (CFA
disapproves of declawing or tendonectomy surgery) are essential elements for
maintaining a healthy, long and joyful life.
