A: The coat is soft and semi-long with a limited undercoat which results in less shedding and less matting than many other long-haired cats. Little is needed while your ragdoll may desire moderate grooming, but not as critical. Weekly brushing with a good grooming comb will suffice. Yes, they shed, but very little. Every animal with hair will shed. Their grooming can be done once a week with a good brushing. Ever ragdoll I know loves there brushings and can pur up a storm.

A: Because it is amazingly sweet and desires interaction the ragdoll cat is a superb family cat that loves considerate children, mild-mannered dogs, and other cats. They form strong bonds and truly enjoy being close. Of course, we are biased but you can't get a better cat for the family then a genuine ragdoll kitten.

A: The ragdoll cat comes in three patterns, pointed, pointed with white mitts, or Bi-color, which always has a unique V-shaped white marking on the forehead. Other variations such as blaze, lynx , and tortie may also be found.

A: There are basically 4 different types of coats; traditional, sepia, mink, and solid coats.

Mink: Thicker plusher coats than traditional ragdolls with an extremely plush tail. It is smoother and feels more like a mink coat. They usually have green eyes but in some cases will have blue. The mink ragdolls are born with their coat color and develop a richer colored, more eye-catching coat than the traditional ragdolls.

Sepia: The sepia ragdolls are similar to the mink; however, have a substantially darker coat than the mink. Sepia ragdolls can have almost any eye color, green, gold, blue, aqua blue, etc… They have the thickest, plushest, and softest coats.

Solid: The solid ragdolls are the darkest and highest contrast. Sepia, traditional, and mink are all pointed and are of various shades of color throughout their coat – darker nose, ears, feet, and tail. A solid does not have this variation and will have a strong bright white contrast against the rich dark black coloring. Solid coats have a coat similar to the mink and sepia ragdolls. They can have almost any eye color.

As a kitten, all ragdolls’ color will continue to deepen as they mature until 3 years old. The solid ragdolls are born with full color and will not lighten or darken; their coat color remains the same.

A: Some people think one is better than the other, but once they are neutered/spayed they all act the same. If the kitten is a breeder, as an adult some females will “yowl” when she is in heat and looking for a male. The male will also “yowl” when looking for a female in heat. Otherwise, both male and female are sweet, loving, and loyal members of your family. They are both extremely social and will follow you around, greet you at the door, and can even learn to play fetch. Both male and female are easily leash trained, dressed in clothes, and great with children. They are the best gentle cat you can have.

A: Because they are such a social and gentle breed, the answer is almost always yes. I would definitely keep a close eye on a cat with a bird or small pet because they might think of them as a toy instead of an animal.

A: You need a litter box, food and water bowls, a grooming comb, scratching post, cat carrier, and some toys for entertainment.
