Blue Bicolor Ragdoll cute cat
The Ragdoll is a cat breed with blue eyes and a distinct color point
coat. It is a large and muscular semi-longhair cat with a soft and silky coat.
Developed by American breeder Ann Baker, it is best known for its docile and
placid temperament and affectionate nature. The name "Ragdoll" is
derived from the tendency of individuals from the original breeding stock to go
limp and relaxed when picked up.
The docile and floppy nature of the Ragdoll is a characteristic thought
to be passed down from the Persian and Birman breed. Opinions vary as to
whether this trait might be the result of genetic mutation. The extreme
docility of some individuals has led to the myth that Ragdolls are
pain-resistant. Some breeders in Britain have tried to breed away from the
limpness due to concerns that extreme docility "might not be in the best interests
of the cat". On multiple occasions, ragdolls have been reported as
nonchalantly approaching moving cars and vicious dogs and getting hurt. Breed
standards describe the Ragdoll as affectionate, intelligent, relaxed in
temperament, gentle, and easy to handle.
