Originating from the USA the ragdoll is an indoor cat that loves and depends on its owner. It will want to be with you all the time so it is not suitible if you are out to work all day.
Although Ragdolls are typically laid back by nature they love to play and can be taught to retrieve small toys.
Being semi - longhaired the coat seldom mats if it is combed or brushed regularly.
The Ragdoll is the "giant" of the domestic cats - the neutered male sometimes reaching 20lbs but more commonly 14-16lb. The female being smaller.
