About The Ragdoll Breed

Ragdolls are often called the “gentle giants” of the cat world—and for good reason. Known for their plush coats, striking blue eyes, and famously calm personalities, Ragdolls make some of the most affectionate and easygoing companions you’ll ever meet.

Originally developed in the 1960s in California, the Ragdoll breed was created with one goal in mind: to offer a sweet, docile cat that thrives on human companionship. Today, Ragdolls are one of the most popular cat breeds in the world, adored for their loving nature and relaxed demeanor.

Distinctive Features

Size & Build

Ragdolls are large, muscular cats with sturdy frames and soft, flowing fur. Males typically weigh 15–20+ lbs, while females range from 10–15 lbs.

Eye Color

Bright, vivid blue eyes are one of the breed’s signature traits.

Coat

Their semi-long coat is silky and low-matting, making them easier to groom than many long-haired breeds.

Color & Patterns

Ragdolls come in a variety of colors including seal, blue, chocolate, lilac, cream, and red, with three main patterns—colorpoint, mitted, and bicolor.

Personality and Temperment

Affectionate

Ragdolls love to be near their humans. They’ll follow you from room to room, curl up in your lap, and greet you at the door.

Easygoing

True to their name, Ragdolls often go limp when picked up—making them perfect for cuddles.

Gentle

They’re famously tolerant with children, respectful around dogs, and comfortable in busy households.

Trainable

Many Ragdolls can learn tricks, fetch toys, and even walk on a leash.

Ideal for Families

Whether you live alone or have a bustling household, Ragdolls adapt beautifully. They are:

  • Excellent with kids and other pets
  • Perfect for indoor living
  • Emotionally attuned and not overly vocal
  • Gentle and rarely aggressive

A Word on Care

While their coats are long and luxurious, Ragdolls don’t mat easily. A gentle brushing a few times a week keeps them looking and feeling their best. Regular vet care, high-quality food, and lots of affection will help your Ragdoll thrive.
