She is not that large, but she has long hair and is VERY affectionate. Her face is not smushed. She gets along well with my bulldog and my sister's pomeranian. She is extremely calm. When I cuddle with her, she is limp, letting me hold her as I please. When I pull her into my lap, she lays where she falls, always content. Her purr is loud. I've never had a ragdoll cat, but I've heard they are like this? Whatever she is, I'm glad she's now mine!!! :)

Fuzzy or raggy how? All I know is she has ultra soft long hair. It's charcoal gray with a little cream in spots under her chin

I know Ragdoll is a breed. Since the cat is a stray, I don't know her breed or primary breed. That is what I'm trying to find out. The Ragdoll breeder sites I have visited show all different colors with different markings.

By the personality you describe, some are the characteristics of a Ragdoll. The color is wrong though, but you could have a cross. Ragdolls have blue eyes, back fur that feels like bunny fur, the limpness is the trademark. Make sure she is an indoor ONLY cat, because Ragdolls aren't scared of cars, they won't run, they will just lie down.

Ragdolls are not a personality, they are a breed. They do have long soft hair, but it is always a soft fawn color with seal point and white markings. If she is any other color, she's not a ragdoll. They also have blue eyes.

Charcoal and cream? Sounds more like a DLH (domestic long hair).

They come in all sizes, all colors/patterns, all eye colors. They do not have smushed faces. Personality is unique to each cat. Ragdolls are fairly rare, so I would doubt you came across one as a stray- but I'm glad you took her in anyway, enjoy your new friend!
