Ragdolls are large, loving, very relaxed semi longhaired felines which have beautiful big deep blue eyes.

The Ragdolls were developed in the 1960’s by Ann Baker. A breeder from California. who bred Josephine, a loving, gentle, semi longhaired white female carrying Siamese markings, to other semi longhaired cats carrying Siamese markings. By selecting individuals with the look she wanted for her breeding program, she created the type standard for the Ragdoll.

The Ragdoll's body is light-colored, with darker Siamese-type points on the face, ears, tail and legs.
Ragdolls have a very soft coat that comes in a variety of pointed shades including seal, chocolate, blue and lilac. Ragdoll cats can have mitted paws or bicolor shading with an upside-down "V" pattern of white on the face, as well as a white chest, belly and legs.

Males may reach about 15 Kg or more; Females are proportionately smaller.

Ragdolls are slow-maturing, reaching full coat color in about two years, and full size and weight in about four.

Ragdolls love their humans; they follow us around the house and love sleeping with us as well.

They are gentle felines who carefully avoid scratching people, and are usually very good with children, elderly people, and dogs – as you can see:

The Ragdolls are not "Fighter" cats and they view any on comer as a loving entity and because of that, they must be strictly indoor cats.

The Ragdolls are very energetic and playful cats; Ragdolls Kittens can entertain you for hours with a catty playful behavior while chasing their own tail or flies etc.

Ragdolls were named for their tendency to flop like rag dolls when picked up; they enjoy being held like a baby.
