Appearance

• Size: Large and muscular — one of the biggest domestic cat breeds.

  • Males: 15–20 pounds (6.8–9 kg)

  • Females: 10–15 pounds (4.5–6.8 kg)

• Coat: Soft, silky, semi-long hair that doesn’t mat easily.

• Eyes: Striking, deep blue eyes.

• Colors/Patterns:

  • Seal, Blue, Chocolate, Lilac, Red, Cream

  • Patterns include Colorpoint, Mitted, and Bicolor (often with white markings on paws and face).

Personality and Temperament

• Exceptionally gentle, calm, and affectionate.

• Often called “dog-like” cats — they may follow you around the house, come when called, or greet you at the door.

• Known for their “floppy” nature — they often relax completely when picked up, hence the name Ragdoll.

• Great with children, other cats, and even dogs.

Care and Living Needs

• Grooming: Brush 2–3 times a week to prevent tangles and reduce shedding.

• Exercise: Moderate activity level — they enjoy playtime but aren’t hyperactive.

• Indoor cats: They’re usually best kept indoors since they’re too trusting and friendly to fend for themselves outdoors.

• Lifespan: 12–17 years (some live longer with proper care).
