Ragdoll Cat Hand Puppet

1.   All Ragdolls have blue eyes

2 .  Ragdolls are one of the largest domestic cat breeds

3.   Typically, Ragdolls go limp when picked up

4.  Ragdoll kittens are born completely white

5. They have tufts of fur between their toes 

6. They are not fully grown till 4 years of age, this means that Ragdolls have a much longer development period than most other breeds

7. Ragdolls are relatively long living and normally live around 15-20 years

8. Ragdolls unlike other cats love water and are intrigued by the sound of running water and some are not bothered about getting wet.

9. Ragdolls express a gene responsible for temperature-sensitive albinism. This gene blocks the pigment in warmer areas of their body such as the torso and it makes cooler areas like the ears, nose, paws, and tail darker in shade. This temperature sensitivity means that your climate can also affect your Ragdoll’s coat. If you live in an area that’s very warm, your Ragdoll’s pigments might not be as deep and may have lighter coat and if you live somewhere cold, then your Ragdoll might produce even more pigment than normal and have darker spots on their coat.

10.  Ragdoll cats are best kept as indoor cats since they are extremely trusting and lack the sharpest survival skills
