The Ragdoll: Calm and Affectionate Companion

Characteristics and Facts

Appearance

Ragdolls are large cats with a sturdy and muscular build. They have a semi-long, silky coat that does not mat, and a fluffy collar around their neck. Their distinctive blue eyes and symmetrical faces give them a gentle expression.

Personality

Ragdolls are known for their relaxed and loving temperament. They are often very affectionate and enjoy human company. Ragdolls tend to form strong attachments to their owners and often follow them around the house. They are generally tolerant of children and other pets.

Grooming

A Ragdoll's coat requires regular brushing to prevent mats and remove loose hair. Additionally, it is important to regularly check and clean the ears, and trim the nails as with all cats.

Health

Overall, Ragdolls are healthy cats, but like all breeds, they can be susceptible to certain health issues, including heart disease, kidney disease, and hip dysplasia. Regular veterinary check-ups and a healthy lifestyle help minimize these risks.
