Ragdoll cats come in a variety of colors, patterns and size.
My ragdoll, Stoli, is what you would call a pointed flame with mitted paws.
Let me explain.
Ragdolls have approx.
6 different colors - seal, chocolate, flame, and "dilutes" blue, lilac and cream.
Three different patterns are typical with ragdoll cats and kittens: Pointed - which means their nose, ears, tail and paws are in specific colors with no white.
Mitted is self explanatory - white paws, chin and tummy, with or without a blaze which is a white line on the face.
Bicolor-white tall socks, white inverted 'V' on the face, white tummy and often white patches on the back.
Differences include a three-color "tortie-point" mottled seal or blue with red present and lynx - striped pattern on tail, face and points which can be found in all 3 patterns.
Adult ragdolls can be quite big.
They are a large sized cat breed.
Males average between 15-20 pounds while Females are smaller and weigh 10-15 pounds on average.
Ragdolls are slow maturing breeds, meaning they reach full coat color at around two years of age and full size and weight at four years.
The Ragdoll cat typically has a very gentle and relaxed temperament.
When socialized from birth they are attentive and affectionate members of the family that enjoy and seek out human companionship.
Ragdoll cats remain playful throughout their lives, adjust well to children and pets and are sometimes called "puppy-cats" because of their propensity to follow their owners from room to room and meet them at the door.
Ahhh, the beautiful silky feline has captured a place in my heart forever!
