Ragdoll cats were developed in the 1960s by breeder Ann Baker in California. They are known for their relaxed temperament and affectionate nature.
Ragdoll cats are large and muscular with semi-long fur, which is soft and silky to the touch. Their striking blue eyes and color-pointed coat add to their charm.
Ragdoll cats are gentle and affectionate, often described as "dog-like" due to their tendency to follow their owners around the house and their love for being held and cuddled.
While not as active or curious as some other breeds, Ragdolls are intelligent cats that can be trained to perform simple tricks and enjoy interactive playtime.
Ragdolls are typically quiet cats, but they may occasionally meow to communicate their needs or desires. Their soft, melodic voices are endearing to their owners.
Ragdoll cats have a relatively long lifespan, averaging between 12 to 17 years or more with proper care and regular veterinary check-ups.
Contempt their long fur, Ragdolls are relatively low-maintenance when it comes to grooming. Regular brushing helps prevent matting and reduces shedding.
