What is a Ragdoll Cat? Have you ever had one or known one?.?

Answer 1

Do a search on them, they are wonderful! Mine is 14 now and he is the best cat I've ever had. I love him to pieces! He is soft, sweet, a clown, devious, and charming. Ragdolls are known to be supervisors- when anyone comes to the house to do some work for me, he watches their every move. (the others hide) A lady in the 60s is said to have crossed a Birman with a white angora-ish cat. There have gotten to be several different appearances like lynx, a dark blaze on the face, mitted feet, orangish, etc. They must have baby blue eyes, and to me, a pink nose. They are called blue, bicolor, seal, lynx, etc. Mine is a blue bicolor, and I won't have anything else. There are getting to be too many variations that lead away from the "traditional" colors.

The Ragdoll is a medium-to-large sized cat, ranging in size from 10 to 15 pounds for altered females at full maturity, and 15 to 20 pounds for altered males. They have a normal nose shape; a broad, modified wedge shape for their heads, and ears that are medium in size and follow the wedge. They are one of the few show breeds that are not extreme, which is their appeal. The Ragdoll's coat is moderately long, silky, soft and flows with the body, with a longer ruff and britches. This pointed breed comes in four patterns: colorpoint(no white), mitted (white front toes, white back legs to hock, belly stripe and chest, with a white chin), bi color(white inverted V on face, with white continuing down chin, chest, ffront legs, belly, and back legs) and van(white all over except pointed color on eats, mask, and tail. CFA accepts only bicolor Ragdolls for championship status.
These cats are trusting, fearless, playful, clumsy, and very human oriented. They don't like being alone and aren't vocal.
Tagdolls are truly adaptable cats. They get along well with people of all age groups and lifestyles. Ragdolls should be indoor only pets. Adult supervision is advised with young children, as these cats trust too much. Watch them when introducing them to a dog or other pet as they are unafraid in new situations.
The coat is moderately long, and you should groom with a steel comb a few times a monty. They are low shedders.

Answer 3

I've never had a ragdoll cat but they do seem like nice cats. They apparently have a very gentle disposition and are said to be good with children, other animals etc. Pretty too! Check 'em out on youtube!

Answer 5

A ragdoll cat is a type of Himalayan. They usually have 4 white paws (socks), A white mustache and are also white were himalayans are coloured. They have long hair but are sleek rather then fluffy. They are very loveable. They go like a rag doll when you pick them up. I guess you could say they are floppy. They also come in coloured points like Himalayans but they all have the white markings. We had one and she was an absolute joy. She loved everyone and every other animal she met.

Answer 6

My friend has two Ragdolls and they are beautiful cats with wonderful dispositions. They do lie limp when you pick them up and they don't tend to shed as much, odd, considering they're long haired.

Answer 7

From what I've heard, its a breed of cat that will let its body go limp when you hold it, like a ragdoll.

Answer 8

I have a Ragdoll. They basically look like a long hair Siamese.
