As a Ragdoll breeder, it's important to provide potential buyers with comprehensive information about the breed's characteristics, colors, patterns, and markings. Here's a breakdown of key points to share:

Breed Information:

-Temperament: Ragdolls are known for their gentle, affectionate nature. They are typically laid-back, docile, and enjoy being around people. They often seek out companionship and are known to be good with children and other pets.

-Physical Characteristics: Ragdolls are large, muscular cats with semi-longhair coats. They have striking blue eyes and a plush, silky fur that doesn't mat easily. Their bodies are sturdy and well-balanced, with a distinctive sweet expression. While Ragdolls have a luxurious coat, they are surprisingly low maintenance in terms of grooming. Regular brushing is recommended to keep their fur free of tangles and mats.

-Personality Traits: Ragdolls are often described as "puppy-like" in their behavior. They may follow their owners from room to room, enjoy being held, and even go limp when picked up, hence the name "Ragdoll." They're not typically vocal cats but can be quite communicative through soft meows and purring.

Markings:

- Blaze: A white stripe running down the center of the face.

- Lynx: Darker striping on the face, legs, and tail, giving a "lynx-like" appearance.

Additional Information:

- Health Considerations: Ragdolls are generally healthy cats, but like all breeds, they can be prone to certain health issues such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (a heart condition) and polycystic kidney disease. It's essential to ensure your Ragdoll kittens come from health-tested parents. At GoldieRags, all cats are genetically tested and selectively bred to ensure the healthiest of kittens.

- Indoor Cats: Due to their gentle nature and lack of street smarts, Ragdolls are best kept indoors to protect them from potential dangers such as traffic, predators, and disease. DO NOT DECLAW YOUR CATS PLEASE. It is a requirement that adoptive families keep their kitties inside with their claws intact.
