Ragamuffin
Overview
The Ragamuffin is a relatively new breed of cat, first developed in the United States in the 1990s. They are known for their friendly and laid-back temperament, as well as their soft, plush coats. Here are some details about the Ragamuffin's temperament, lifespan, shedding, and kittens.
Temperament
Ragamuffins are known for being friendly, affectionate, and easygoing. They are often described as "dog-like" in their behavior, as they tend to follow their humans around and enjoy being picked up and held. They are not typically skittish or shy, and usually get along well with other pets and children. Ragamuffins are also known for their playful and curious nature, and enjoy exploring their surroundings.
Lifespan
The average lifespan of a Ragamuffin is around 12-16 years. However, with proper care and nutrition, some Ragamuffins have been known to live into their late teens or even early twenties.
Shedding
Ragamuffins have a thick, plush coat that requires regular grooming to prevent matting and tangles. They do shed, but the amount of shedding can vary depending on the individual cat and the time of year. During shedding season, more frequent brushing may be necessary to keep their coat looking its best.
Kittens
Ragamuffin kittens are known for their cute and cuddly appearance. They are typically born with short, fine hair that grows into their fluffy adult coat over time. Ragamuffin kittens are often very playful and energetic, and require plenty of toys and stimulation to keep them happy and healthy. They also require regular vet checkups and vaccinations to ensure their health and well-being.
Ragamuffins make excellent pets for those looking for a friendly and affectionate companion. However, their thick coats do require some maintenance, and potential owners should be prepared to dedicate some time to grooming and care.
