RAGDOLLS
Picture by Robert Fox
Ragdolls are
truly an amazing breed offering
everything you could possibly
want in a cat and a whole lot
more in one unique package. They
have a stunningly beautiful
appearance and an exceptionally
trusting, loyal and loving
disposition. Sweet and docile,
they are an extremely friendly
cat very adaptable to most
situations and just completely
perfect.
As their name
suggests, they are very much
like a child's Ragdoll in the
respect that when they are
picked up or held they do have
the ability to become very limp
and floppy. Around the house
they are very relaxed and you
can often find them curled up in
their favourite spot laying
comfortably on their backs with
paws and feet in the air. They
love to be held and cuddled like
a baby and absolutely love chin
and tummy rubs. So affectionate
and loving is this breed you can
tell they really do cherish time
spent with their owner. Ragdolls
just love to show affection.
Generally,
Ragdolls are very quietly spoken
with very soft voices but are
extremely loud purrers. Regarded
as quite a big boned heavy set
cat they can weigh 12-20 pounds
and absolutely love their food.
Females generally weigh less
than males but both have the
stunning blue eyes, luxurious
coat and the generous size that
the breed is renowned for. They
are exceptionally pretty and are
deemed to be a semi longhaired
cat although their coat is
rather low maintenance due to
the factor that it is rather
rabbit like and non-matting.
Regular brushing once a week is
recommended and your Ragdoll
will enjoy the attention and
time with you immensely.
