Ragdoll
Cat Weight:
14-18 lbs.
Color
- There are four patterns: bi-color, van, mitted and pointed. Only the bi-color
and bi-color van patterns are recognized by CFA for showing purposes. Patterns
come in six colors: seal, blue, chocolate, lilac, red, and cream. Point colors
may be solid, shaded, smoke, lynx, or particolor. Eyes
- Large, vivid blue ovals. <Appearance
- The ideal Ragdoll is a medium to large, moderately longhaired, blue-eyed
pointed cat. The point markings may be covered by a range of white overlay patterns.
Bi- color Ragdolls 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. Personality
- Ragdolls adore their humans. They run too 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. Interesting
Breed Fact - 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. |
