The Ragdoll Cat – Get to know the breed
Rag doll cats first originated in 1960′s from a non pedigree cat in the US. Ann Baker had a kitten from this cats litter and decided because of their affection nature and beauty they were worthy of their own breed and created the Rag Doll breed. Ann also created her own cat registery – the International Ragdoll Cat Association and trademarked the name Rag Doll.
In 1981 the first breeding pair was exported to the UK, they were 6 month old kittens belonging to Lulu Rowley owner of the Petil-lu Cattery. While still in quarantine a litter was born on the 26th July. Lulu and her friend Pat imported another 8 rag doll cats help expand their breeding base. Rag dolls are floppy and docile in nature hence the name, however modern breeder are attempting to breed out the docile trait as they feel it might not be in the best interests of the cat. They are famous for their temperament, are extremely laid back and devote their lives to their owners. There were once believed to feel no pain because of their nature, but tests have shown that they feel the same amount of pain as other cat breeds. They like lots of attention, and will constantly be with you whether that’s in bed or on the loo. Rag dolls have be called children that never want to grow up and will make a toy out of anything.
Like the Maine Coon they are a large breed of cat. Rag Doll cats come in just 6 colours seal, chocolate, flame, blue, lilac and cream. The chocolate and lilac colours are harder to acquire. There are a number of pattern variations and these include: pointed, mitted and bicolour. The pointed pattern is characterised by a single darker colour at the extremities, such as the nose, ears, paws and tail. The mitted pattern is similar to the pointed with a few extra feature, which are a line of white that runs from their chin, down their belly to their genitals, they must have white paws and chin. The Bicolour pattern differs from the previous two, with white legs and a inverted v shape patten on the face. They will have a white belly and occasionally white patches on their back.
Their fur is long and while not prone to matting they should be groomed at least twice a week, neglecting to groom with eventually lead to tangles and mattes.
