The Ragdoll is a large cat with stunning blue eyes and a long, furry coat. They have large, sturdy proportions and are quite muscular. Their unique genes are responsible for their piercing blue eyes and colorpoint coat, meaning that their coat color darkens at extremities (ears, tail, nose, paws).
Personality
This is a very gentle and affectionate cat breed, absolutely devoted to its family. It often doesn't mature physically and emotionally until it is almost four or five and remains kitten-like in its behavior. It likes to snuggle and is sensitive and sweet. It gets on well with other cats, dogs and loves children.
