History
- The Ragdolls were originated by Ann Baker of Riverside, California. It is
believed the breed was created in the early 1960's. A white Persian-Angora
named Josephine was out crossed to Birman and Burmese cats. Kittens from
these breedings were carefully line-bred to give us these large beautiful
Ragdolls.
Colors and Coats Types Available - Ragdoll fur feels just like rabbit
fur and is quite silky. This normally medium to long fur doesn't mat and
there is minimal shedding. Ragdoll patterns are colorpoint, mitted, bicolor,
lynx, tortie, and torbie. There are several colors seal, blue, black,
chocolate, lilac, red or flame, cream, and white.
Grooming and Care - Grooming is kept to a minimum. A good combing
once or twice a week is all that is required.

They are a very laid back cat and are often described as having puppy like
