DDLIONSDOLLS RAGDOLL

The Ragdoll is one of the largest domesticated cat breeds, with a sturdy body, large frame, and proportionate legs. A fully-grown female weighs from 8 to 15 pounds (3.6 to 6.8 kg). Males are substantially larger, ranging from 12 to 20 pounds (5.4 to 9.1 kg) or more. The genes for point coloration are responsible for the distinctive blue eyes of the Ragdoll. More intense shades of blue are favored in cat shows. Although the breed has a plush coat, it consists mainly of long guard hairs, while the lack of dense undercoat results, according to the Cat Fanciers'   Association, in "reduced shedding and matting".                                                                                                                                                             

Ragdolls come in six different colors: red, seal, chocolate and the corresponding "dilutes", including blue, lilac, and cream. This also includes the lynx and tortoiseshell variations in all colors and the three patterns. Ragdoll kittens are born white; they have good color at 8–10     weeks and full color and coat at 3–4 years.                                                                                                                                                                                   

The three different patterns are:

  • Colorpoint – One color darkening at the extremities (nose, ears, tail, and paws).                                                                                             

  • Mitted – Same as pointed, but with white paws and abdomen. With or without a blaze (a white line or spot on the face), but must have a "belly stripe" (white stripe that runs from the chin to the genitals) and a white chin. Mitted Ragdolls, which weren't allowed titling in CFA until the 2008–2009 show season, are often confused with Birmans. The easiest way to tell the difference is by size (the Ragdoll being obviously larger) and chin color (Mitted Ragdolls have white chins, while Birmans have colored chins), although breeders recognize the two by head shape and boning.

  • Bicolor – White legs, white inverted V on the face, white abdomen, and sometimes white patches on the back. (Excessive amounts of white, or "high white", on a bicolor is known as the Van pattern, although this doesn't occur nearly as often as the other patterns.

Variations:

  • Lynx – A variant of the above type having tabby markings.                                                                                                                                  

  • Tortoiseshell or "tortie"- A variant noted for mottled or particolored markings in the above patterns.
