Cat Breeds - Ragdoll
on
Published in Cats & Dogs News
Considered to be one of the gentlest and most easy-going of breeds, the medium-longhaired Ragdoll is known for its docile, placid temperament and affectionate nature.
Ragdolls were developed in the 1960's by Ann Baker, a Persian breeder in California, who selectively bred over many years for desirable traits, such as large size, gentle demeanor, and a tendency to go limp when picked up.
The Ragdolls pointed patterns tend to come in three varieties: colorpoint, bicolor, and mitted. Coat colors can be seal, blue, chocolate, and lilac point colors, either with or without markings on the face and feet. Their semi-long coats need minimal care and don't tend to mat with regular combing.
