Overview

The Ragdoll is a breed of cat that is known for its affectionate and docile temperament. Ragdolls are a large breed of cat, with males weighing between 15-20 pounds and females weighing between 10-15 pounds. They have a long, silky coat and striking blue eyes.

Temperament

The Ragdoll is known for its gentle and laid-back temperament. They are typically very friendly and outgoing, and love to spend time with their human family. They are often described as "puppy-like" in their behavior, as they will follow their owners around and greet them at the door. Ragdolls are very affectionate and love to be held and cuddled, and they often enjoy being around other pets as well. They are not typically very vocal, but will occasionally "chirp" or "trill" to communicate with their owners.

Lifespan

The average lifespan of a Ragdoll is between 12-17 years, although some have been known to live into their early 20s with proper care and nutrition.

Shedding

Ragdolls have a long, silky coat that requires regular grooming to prevent matting and tangling. They do shed, but not as much as some other long-haired breeds. Regular brushing will help to minimize shedding and keep their coat looking healthy and shiny.

Kittens

Ragdoll kittens are born white and develop their color over time. They are slow to mature, and typically do not reach their full size and weight until they are around 3-4 years old. Ragdoll kittens are very playful and curious, and require plenty of socialization and interaction with their owners in order to develop their friendly and outgoing personality.

Ragdolls make excellent pets for families and individuals who are looking for a laid-back and affectionate cat. They are known for their gentle temperament and love of cuddling, and make great companions for both adults and children.
