They Got The Look
According to the Guineas Book of Pet Records; Ragdolls are
one of the largest domestic cats. Altered adult males average 20-28
pounds and are 3 feet long. Females will weigh about 5-10 pounds less.
Ragdolls are born white and don't obtain their full color until they are
2 years of age. They are slow to mature physically and obtain full maturity
between 3 and 4 years of age. The Ragdoll's fur is rabbit-like, medium long,
never mats, and has little shedding. It requires no routine grooming unlike
other cats. All Ragdolls have beautiful blue eyes. They come in
three recognized patterns: Bi-Color, Colar Point, Mitted. And in four
recognized colors: Chocolate, Seal, Blue, and Lilac. Ragdolls also come in unrecognized
patterns and colors like Flames, Lynxs, and Torties.
