- About This Pet: Ragdoll cats are a popular breed of cat known for their friendly and affectionate personalities. They are often described as "lap cats" due to their love of cuddling with their owners. Ragdolls have long, silky fur and bright blue eyes. They are a relatively large breed, with males weighing up to 20 pounds and females up to 15 pounds. Ragdolls are generally quiet cats and are not very vocal. They are also known for their gentle nature and good behavior around children and other pets. Ragdolls require regular grooming to maintain their coat, which can be prone to matting. They are also prone to health issues such as heart disease and bladder stones, so it's important to keep up with regular vet check-ups. Overall, Ragdolls make great indoor pets for those seeking a friendly and low-maintenance companion.
