Why Ragdolls?

Ragdoll Cats are the most beautiful and appealing blue eyed cat known to man. From their laid back personality and quiet voice, to their playful nature and their craving for your companionship, Ragdolls will fill your life with special warmth.

Ragaffairo Ragdolls are large cuddle bears of love, and truly deserve their name. A more loving cat you will never hope to find. Ragdoll cats are bred specifically for their puppy and childlike disposition. Because of their trusting nature, Ragdolls should be strictly indoor cats. An indoor cat will live longer, and in return their new owners will receive an overwhelming supply of magic moments.

Ragdolls are very "people orientated" who love to be with humans and can attach very strongly to their owners. They like to be involved in whatever you are doing in the house and like to "help" their owners and are especially good at trying to help with making beds and sweeping floors, and certainly will be the first around to supervise with all your other activities.

Ragdolls are very docile with their easygoing nature and yet are very playful and ever so gentle. They are very intelligent, and because they have a tendency to be less stubborn than other cats, are very easy to teach tricks too. They can usually learn the same tricks that owners like to teach puppies. They love to play fetch, shake hands, beg on command, roll over and much more. Ragdolls love to interact with children, other pets and your visitors.

If your Ragdoll is not on your lap it is always very close by. They will endlessly follow you from room to room, and if you manage to escape the room while they are napping, when they awaken, they will run from room to room crying for you. They will then proceed to have a conversation with you to tell you about their ordeal while giving you lots of big cuddles, just because they are pleased to see you.

Ragdolls have been sometimes called a low maintenance breed, but of course they need just as much love and as much care as any other cat, but they don't have any specific breed requirements. Although their soft, plush, coat may look like a lot of work, it is actually very easy to care for, and only requires a weekly grooming. This helps control any shedding or fur-balls, and most Ragdolls adore being combed and brushed.

Ragdolls have no known genetic defects and are not prone to any specific disease. Put everything you could want together in one cat and you have this delightful package called the Ragdoll.
