Mitted & Ragdoll Color Patterns

Van pattern is one extreme of white spotting and mitted is the other extreme with a colourpointed cat appearing to have white bootees. The 'Mitted Pattern' is found in the Snowshoe, Birman and Ragdoll. The mitted pattern can occur with any of the Colourpoint colors and patterns.

There are six Ragdoll patterns, only three of which have competition status:- Colourpoint, Bi-color and Mitted. The other three patterns are High Mitted (mitts extend up legs), Mid-High White (Bi-color with additional white in "saddle" area) and High White (Bi-color with even greater degree of white, "saddle" may be absent). The Piawaian Kucing Malaysia has a Ragdoll-type Seal Point Mitted pattern.
