About the Ragdoll
Developed in California in the 1960s, known for its large size, striking blue eyes, and tendency to relax completely when picked up. Semi-long and silky-coated, typically in pointed patterns.
Temperament
Docile, affectionate, and placid, the Ragdoll often follows its owners around the house and tolerates handling well, making it a popular family cat.
Common health issues
- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
- Bladder or urinary stones
- Polycystic kidney disease
Grooming needs
The semi-long coat has a relatively low-maintenance undercoat but still benefits from twice-weekly brushing to prevent mats.
