Rag dolls are large cats, there size is larger than that of regular cats, and they have a sweet face and are pretty docile by nature. Ragdolls are muscular in built and have an overall look of elegance and balance. Their coat has a rich texture and unlike other cats they stay smooth and do not mat together, the texture is almo9st like that of a rabbit’s coat. They appear in blue points, seal points, lilac points and some of them have white markings on them.

If you are a person who would like to have a large docile and people loving cat, then you should undoubtedly pick up a ragdoll cat. Also in case you do not want to spend too much time on grooming the cat but still want a cat that has a rich lustrous coat then ragdolls is the best choice as you have to do practically nothing to maintain its coat. In case you already have a pet then too you need not worry, ragdoll cats are highly amicable and they are not at all aggressive.

Ragdolls are very large and heavy cats and as a result not very active, they have broad cheats and large hind quarters. They mature slowly and reach puberty at an age of around three the females are smaller than the males and weigh approximately 10-15 pounds, whereas a male weighs 12-20 pounds and even more.

Ragdolls have a very sweet face. They have a pair of large blue eyes; they have a pair of rounded ears which have a slight forward tilt. They have a very soft coat and a bush tail that has a texture akin to a rabbit’s fur. Generally ragdolls have longer fur around the neck, known as the ruff and also near the hindquarters, known as britches.

Like the Himalayans and the Siamese, ragdolls are also pointed cats. They are born white and develop color as they grow. In most of the associations, ragdolls are accepted in four colors and three patterns. The three patterns are “colorpoint” “mitted” and “bicolor”.

A colorpoint ahs dark points, that is, ears, tail and feet where as its body is of a lighter shade. They do not have white makings on their bodies, but in some case they may appear to have white markings due to the pale body color.

A mitted is almost like a color point as it has a lighter body and dark points. Mitted has white makings, it has white “mitts” o the front paw, white boots o the back legs, a white strip on the stomach and a white ruff.

A bicolor also has dark points, but there is an inverted V running between the eye and expanding into the muzzle. The body color kind of forms a saddle on the cat’s back and the rest of the color is white.
