Ragdoll



The overall picture of the Ragdoll cat is that of a large muscular body, especially in males, large blue eyes, with an aesthetically pleasing solid head and body. Their coat comes in two lengths, one is short the other, medium/long. Both coats are soft and luxurious to touch, similar to that of rabbit fur.

They are a 'floppy' cat as the name Ragdoll suggests and they tend to go limp when you pick them up.

The Ragdoll's fur is non matting so they require very little maintenance and are generally a very healthy breed with no known major health problems.
