When looking for a long-term house cat, the Ragdoll cat breed is often at the top of the list. Born white, Ragdoll kittens are becoming a favorite among homeowners and pet lovers. They show their true colors after a week of life. Then it takes another two years or more before the cat’s full color shows.
They also have physical similarities to Siamese cats around the eyes and face area because they are pointed cats. However, they are not related to the Siamese, although they are often confused with them. Ragdoll cats also have a coat almost like that of Persian cats. They mature within 4-5 years, and as they grow, you will find that they possess several traits that make them attractive.
First of all, Ragdolls can learn to adapt to their surroundings. Whether you have a small house or a large house, your Ragdoll kitten can learn to get used to the space you provide. To add, some cat breeds cannot tolerate living with other animals or even other cats, while Ragdolls can make good companions for dogs, birds, or other pets you already have in your home. They are also not the type to start fighting with other animals because they tend to be calm by nature.
Another quality that makes Ragdoll kittens ideal for any home or home is that they are peace-loving felines. They often age to have a calm temperament and calm disposition. They like to lie down and relax with their owner, especially during times when you want to relax and just take a break too.
Finally, Ragdoll kittens are also known to make excellent companions for children. They are a family breed that emulate dog-like characteristics and are therefore often referred to as “puppy cats.” They are affectionate, loyal and intelligent. You can teach them tricks, but due to their trusting nature, you have to be on the lookout for them because strangers can easily take them. They are playful and energetic too. They do make noises but not too loud to be considered a nuisance.
These are just some of the excellent qualities of Ragdoll kittens. They each have their own unique personality which may make you love them even more as they grow older. And if you’re wondering why Ragdolls are compared to Raggedy Ann dolls, it’s because this special breed of cat is known to go limp when held or picked up and they look so much like dolls and so adorable to be around.
