Owning Fluffy And Playful Ragdoll Kittens
by Guest Author
One of the most beautiful cat breeds is a Ragdoll. The Ragdoll Kittens are born with blue eyes and very distinct coats. This breed has a very placid temperament and they are affectionate and playful. The breeder gave them the name as Ragdoll because they go limp and relaxed when people pick them up.
History tells that the breed is a mix between Persian and Siamese breeds and the Ragdoll characteristics of their floppy and docile nature suggest that history could be accurate. They are also intelligent and gentle. There is also a myth that these cats are completely resistant to pain.
They are large in their frames and when females are grown, they weigh between eight and fifteen pounds whilst grown males weigh between twelve and twenty pounds. The size classifies them as one of the largest domestic cat breeds. Their eyes are mostly blue or other shades of blue and their coats are medium length that very rarely sheds.
The cats are quiet and do not often meow or complain. They seem to have traits associated with dogs in the sense that they like following people around the house and they like welcoming their human family back home. They love sleeping in beds, love attention and they accept strangers in their home.
Their furs come in six different colors which are lilac, cream, seal and lilac. Kittens are all born with white coats and when they are about two years old, their coat color is true to what it will be. There are also cats with mixed coats which are known as tortoise shell coats . These coats are not known to matt. There are tuffs between their toes and in their ears and the hair of the ears, tail and face is darker than the other hair.
Although they look very much like Birman cats, they have white chins which is the distinction needed to classify them. These are also larger cats and breeders use the head shape and much larger and distinct bone structure of Ragdolls to identify them from Birman cats.
Cats are known to be independent and standoffish, but this breed is not. Although they are playful and alert, they are strictly indoor cats and have no fighting skills to fend from animals and any other threats. For a family who would love a doll like cat, Ragdoll Kittens will surely be irresistible.
