Ragdolls get their name from their tendency to go limp when picked up, much like a ragdoll toy.
Floppycats
The first Ragdoll cat was a white longhaired female named Josephine who captivated researchers with her unique relaxed temperament.
Founding Feline
Signature blue eyed pointed ragdoll cats have darker fur on their ears, face, legs and tails contrasting a lighter coat on the main body.
Pointed Markings
Unlike Siamese breed cousins, Ragdolls only occasionally make soft chirps and exclude loud meowing or yowling noises.
Quiet Voices
Reaching full physical maturity faster than many purebreds, Ragdolls are essentially full grown cats by age 3 versus 5.
Fast Growing
Exceedingly people-oriented, ragdolls eagerly greet owners at the door, follow them room to room and learn to play fetch.
Dog-Like Affection
Weighing up to 20 pounds, these mild-mannered gentle giants take quickly to snuggling in laps for pets, earning them the nickname puppy-cats.
