Ragdoll Cat Breed Profile

   

   

From Lisa, Quebec
This is a picture of my Ragdoll Cat, Armani. He is 4 years old. He's been living with us for nearly 3 years now and is dearly cherished! He is a former breeder and Canadian Champion. Isn't he gorgeous?
   

   
Coat Type, Color & Grooming The Ragdoll coat is moderately long, with abundant guard hairs, shorter fur on front legs, longer on rear legs. A wide array of pointed colors is available in bi-color, van, mitted, shaded and smoke patterns:
Colourpoint - Point coloured mask to the face,
point coloured ears, feet, and tail. A colourpoint has no white whatsoever.
Mitted - Point coloured mask, ears, tail and legs, with white mittens on the front feet and short white boots on the back feet. White on chin, ruff and stomach.
Bi-Colour -  White inverted “V” in the mask, white legs, feet, ruff and stomach. Point coloured ears and tail.
Physical Attributes Ragdoll cats are large well-balanced cats with no extreme features. The head forms a broad equilateral triangle, modified by a gentle rounded muzzle. Their bodies form a long rectangle, are broad and solid with “medium to heavy” bone structure.  They have long legs and a long well plumed tail.

Personality Loving, placid and easy going and as such they make wonderful house or apartment cats. They are intelligent and can easily be trained. They have a unique temperament, usually sweet and docile – and are not fighters by nature
