The Ragdoll cat is called a Ragdoll because when you pick them up they go limp in your arms. Not all Ragdoll's do this. It's because of their very docile personalities. The Ragdoll has amazingly soft fur, it almost feels like rabbit fur. Their fur is also non matting and they are mild shedders. Ragdoll's are very intelligent and can be easily voice trained. Their "meows" are soft and almost sound like a chirping. Neutered males can weigh anywhere from 15-20lbs, Spayed females about 5 pounds less. Ragdoll's do not reach their full body size and coat color till about 3 years of age.

Ragdoll's are very co-dependant and shouldn't be left alone all day. They will follow you from room to room and sometimes flop at your feet.

The Ragdoll cat is really an incredible animal. They are worth the wait. They have added so much love and happiness in my life and can do the same for you.
