What is a Ragdoll ?

Ragdolls are a wonderful breed of cat created by a woman named Anne Baker in the 1960´s. Named by Baker for their tendency to go limp when held ragdolls are one of the most social breeds and often called puppy cats. Ragdolls crave human attention and don't do well when left alone. Highly intelligent they will often follow you from room to room and maintain eye contact when spoken to. One of the only cats who are bred for temperament, their personality is only matched by their beauty. Ragdolls defining outward features are their captivating blue eyes, sweet expression, rabbit soft fur coat, and large size. Ragdolls are a pointed breed meaning they have a form of albinism which is effected by temperature which makes the ragdoll a living heat map. This is what forms the distinctive dark face, ears, legs and tail you see in the ragdoll which first originated in the siamese breed. Ragdoll kittens are born completely white because of the wombs stabile warm temperature and develop their colors over the first few weeks of life. Full color on a ragdoll will not be developed until they reach at least 2 years old and is effected by the climate in which they live. In general ragdolls are a slow developing breed and full color, fur length, and size will not be developed until they reach 4 years old.
