About Ragdolls

The ragdoll breed was developed in the state of California by Anne Baker in the late 1960’s or early 1970’s.   Her goal was to capture the unique and amazing docile nature of these cats. The original cats bred to create this absolutely fabulous cat was a white Angora ‘like’ cat named Josephine, and a Birman ‘like’ cat named Daddy Warbucks. All modern pedigree ragdoll cats can be traced back to these cats.

Ragdolls are a wonderful breed suited to all types of cat lovers – from an active family or couple, to a quiet, retired home.  Ragdolls got their name from their peculiar tendancy to “flop” when held, though some are better at this than others! Ragdolls are renowned for the gorgeous large blue eyes, and plush silky fur that is non matting.  They are a low to medium shedding type of cat, which requires minimum maintenance. Ragdolls are quite dog –like in behavior.  It is not uncommon for ragdolls to play fetch, or be seen carrying small articles of clothing around the house.  Ragdolls have a very docile temperament, and it is not wise to leave unattended outdoors.

Ragdolls come in three patterns:

Pointed – the color is at the extremes of the feet, face, ears and tail.

Mitted – the color on the feet has white markings or “gloves”. Also common on this pattern is a blaze on the nose.

Bi-color – Coat color is on the body with white on the legs, face, and extends up the chest between the front legs. 

Coat colors are:

Seal – Points are deep seal brown. Body color can range from fawn cream to a warm brown.

Blue – Points are slate-blue or silvery-blue.  Body color is ivory or bluish white.

Chocolate – Points are light milk chocolate.  Body color can range from ivory to cream.

Lilac – Points vary from frosty-grey lilac, to pinkish beige. Body color is a warm magnolia color.

Reds, tortie, cream, lynx (tabby) are all fairly new developments in ragdoll colors.
