The Ragdoll Cat originated in the 1960s in California, and are known for their striking blue eyes, soft, semi-long fur, and "puppy-like" personalities. Ragdolls love following you around and even enjoy being cradled in your arms.
These cats are naturally calm and sociable, making them a perfect fit for families, and they tend to get along well with children and other pets. Their name "Ragdoll" comes from their tendency to go limp when picked up, a unique trait that highlights their relaxed nature.
They also have a large, sturdy frame, with males often weighing up to 20 pounds. While they have a laid-back personality, Ragdolls are intelligent, trainable, and thrive in loving environments where they can be close to their humans.
