Ragdoll Cat Temperament

A ragdoll cat one of them is Ragdoll Cat Temperament a specific breed of cat, usually considered to be the royalty of cat breeds. Most noticeable is their large size, setting them in addition to other breeds that may appear similar; their large muscular frame though belies a gentle and people loving nature.

The breed was created in the 1960s when a Persian cat gave birth to a litter of exceptionally gentle and calm kittens, unlike anything seen before. This lead to further breeding and the result was the ragdoll cat we know and love today.

Many owners are attracted to their soft, silky semi-long haired coat and unique colours, coupled with their laid back attitude and the strange tendency they have to 'flop' when held, giving them their name 'ragdoll.'.

A ragdoll cat is a cat for people who love the personality of cats but want the affection and loyalty of a dog - the ragdoll is not independent and frequently shadows their owner, preferring to spend as much time as possible with them, rather than out prowling. In fact, due to the ragdoll's trusting and laid back nature, it is not advisable for them to be anything but an indoor cat.

Despite their large size, ragdolls tend to shed less than most other breeds of cats, so actually require less grooming, perhaps only two to three times a week, usually even less, although, due to their size, they will need more food than a regular cat and a larger litter tray.
