Ragdoll

Ragdoll cats are known for their striking blue eyes, colorpoint markings, and tendency to go limp when picked up—hence their name. Bred in California in the 1960s, Ragdolls are one of the largest domestic cat breeds and are famous for their gentle, docile personalities. These cats are incredibly people-oriented and follow their owners throughout the home.

Ragdolls are sometimes called 'puppy cats' because they love to be held, cuddled, and will often greet their owners at the door. They typically form strong bonds with their families and can become anxious if left alone for extended periods. Despite their size, they are gentle giants who prefer play that involves their human companions rather than independent hunting.

These semi-long-haired cats have striking color patterns that develop over the first two years of life. They require regular grooming to maintain their silky coats and thrive in calm, stable environments. Ragdolls are best kept as indoor cats and do poorly in chaotic households, preferring quiet homes with predictable routines.
