Information Regarding Ragdoll Kittens TICA Registered

By Janet Hill


Ragdolls are one of the prettiest and best natured of all the domestic cat breeds. Like their name they can be easily carried around like toys. They tend to be more playful when young and become very laidback as they mature. If you are intending to show your cat or want to ensure your breeder is reputable then you need to look for Ragdoll kittens TICA registered.

As the name suggests, The International Cat Association is recognized all over the world. It is a registry of pedigree cats and pets alike. It runs and organizes shows worldwide and supports responsible ownership and breeding. The association also works in local communities to give education about neutering and how to take care of your pet. It also supports charities and programs which benefit cats and their owners.

When you purchase a pet that is registered you know that your breeder is responsible and that the cat should be in the best of health. It should also conform to the breed standard if it is pedigree. Pet cats that are registered are also eligible to compete in shows, so even if your favorite kitten does not quite meet standard you can still enjoy the fun of showing.

There are ten colors and three patterns to select from so you are certain to find a kitten that you fall in love with. Regardless of whether you select colorpoint, bicolor or mitted the coat will be silky and soft to touch. Although they are semi longhaired, shedding occurs just twice a year which makes them quite low maintenance. Just like humans though they like daily grooming to keep them in top condition.

The color palette is so varied it covers almost every hue found in the feline world. Regardless of the color of their coat, their eyes should be the bright blue like forget-me-knots; the eyes being a distinctive feature of the breed. The combination of the beautiful eyes, soft coat and lovely markings makes this about the prettiest cat ever.

Another key feature of this gentle giant is its size. Toms will mature to a massive 20lbs with queens not far behind at 15lb. Despite their size, ragdolls are friendly with other pets and family members. They are happy to live with dogs, kids and other cats.

While Ragdolls have a reputation for being so laidback they can be dressed in dolly clothes, it is worth remembering they are still an animal. They need to be treated kindly and children should not be encouraged to use them like toys. They are, if distantly, related to lions and retain the ability to scratch and bite.

If you have never owned this beautiful breed in the past then your breeder is a great person to ask about all aspects of the breed. Take their advice about training, feeding and grooming. They will ensure you are furnished with all the information you require and be happy to answer questions. Unless you intend to breed you will want to think about neutering or spaying. Consult your local veterinarian practice and then you need not worry about an accidental litter of kittens sired by a random Tom.
