Facts You Should Know About The Ragdolls By The TICA Ragdoll Breeders

By Shawn Hunter


Cats have been around for centuries. They can be seen at home as pets. Some people preferred to have them over dogs for pets.

Although most people consider them as aloof and unsociable, there is one breed that shows fondness for humans. The Ragdoll cat is different from other breeds because they are very sociable and friendly. It is large yet gentle, easy going with cute long hair and captivating blue eyes. They love to cuddle, play, follow you, and greet you whenever you come home from work. This is why most people prefer them over other breeds. For a number of years, the TICA Ragdoll breeders have developed high breed felines.

It has been bred in the 1960 by Ann Baker in Riverside, California. It is the result of mating three different breeds. Josephine is the matriarch of the Ragdoll breed. Josephine had been paired by Persian, Birman, and Burmese. This contributed to the gentle and laid back personality.

Unlike other breeds, this type of breed can easily coexist with different kinds of animals, as well as children. You can play and dress them with cute little clothing, without fearing that you will get scratched. They play with the kids well. Most importantly, they do not destroy the things in the household.

They are often compared to dogs because they are extremely friendly and intelligent. The full grown male can weigh as much as 20 pounds, while the female can weigh at about 10 to 15 pounds. They can live for 12 to 15 years.

Their patterns make them different from each other. They have 4 patterns, the pointed, mitted, bicolor, and lynx pattern. If it has a pointed pattern, you will notice a dark coloring on their nose, paws, tails, and ears. The mitted is just the same with the pointed pattern, but you will see that the tail and abdomen are white, with a belly stripe from its chin to the genital area. You can recognize the bicolor pattern by its white abdomen and legs. What makes this pattern unique is the inverted V on its face. The lynx pattern shows dark lines all over its body. You can see that the coloring of the inside of its ears is white and its nose is brick colored.

Caring for them is easy. It does not need any special care. It enjoys being brushed once or twice a week. You do not need to bathe it regularly, as long as the it does not smell. You can also brush its teeth to prevent potential periodontal disease.

Be wary when giving treats to them. Kidney issues are a dominant problem in felines, so make sure that you are only giving them nutritious treats that are low in salt. You should also bring your pet to the vet regularly to prevent the risk of developing hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. HCM can develop during their 6th month. They can potentially die from the ailment in their 3rd year.

Its prices can depend on the pattern and color. If you want to buy one, the breeder can give it to you in its 12th month where its health is already stabilized. For more information, visit the website and see the different Ragdolls available.
