It is believed that the Ragdoll descended from a combination of three cats:a white longhaired cat named Josephine; a Birman male, and a black Burmese male. There has been much myth surrounding the origin of the breed. Every Ragdoll ancestry must though, be traceable back to Josephine.

The Ragdoll has a soft semi-long coat which does not require as regular grooming as many other long-haired breeds. Ragdoll kittens are born white, acquiring their colouring and coat pattern by the age of eight weeks.

Ragdolls are available in the following colours: seal, blue, chocolate, lilac, cream, red & tortie.

The coat patterns of the Ragdolls are: pointed, mitted, bicolour & lynx {tabby markings in one of the three previous patterns}. The varying patterns are bred in the above colours i.e. seal, blue, choc, lilac, cream, red & tortie.

Ragdolls are a large breed and estimates of sizes are between 8 to 12 pounds for females and 12 to 16 pounds for males. Ragdolls do not fully mature until between the ages of three to fours years.

The Ragdoll is a gentle, good natured and loving cat that makes a wonderful indoor companion. It is not recommended that Ragdolls are allowed unsupervised outdoor access due to their very trusting nature.
