Ragdolls are distinguishable by their pointed coloration (where the body is lighter than the face, ears, legs, and tail), large round blue eyes, soft, thick coats, thick limbs, long tails, and soft bodies. Their color rings are commonly tricolor or bicolor.
Tortoiseshell or tortie-point Ragdoll cats
The shade points of ragdolls patterned in tortoiseshell exhibit varying mottled shades of cream, red, and pink. The majority of tortoiseshell cats are female because two X chromosomes are required to create the distinctive tortie pattern. Older tortoiseshells of this breed often become heavily mottled, even resembling solid platinum grey or brown Ragdoll cats! Male torties are extremely rare and usually born sterile.

Ragdoll health problems you should watch out for
No matter how sophisticated or expensive, Ragdolls are all very vulnerable to inherited respiratory and cardiac conditions. Other common health conditions of this breed include:
A healthy diet can help prevent the majority of these ailments, allowing your Raggie to live a long and healthy life. Giving them the right kinds of meat, such as chicken, liver, tuna, duck, turkey, and salmon, is crucial because the taurine in these foods naturally improves cats’ cardiovascular health.
The best thing you can do for your cat’s long-term health, according to expert nutritionists, is to feed them wet food that contains whole meat and provides the right amounts of the proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals that cats require. Avoid products with low-quality proteins and filler ingredients, such as:
- Undefined meat derivatives (chicken or bone meals)
- Vegan or milk proteins
- Grains (corn, rice, wheat, etc.)
- Veggies and fruits
- Sugar and starch
Be mindful of what your cat eats as treats in addition to their regular meals. Make sure they avoid eating excessive amounts of high-fat snacks, such as eggs and fat trimmings. Give them no foods that are poisonous to cats, such as garlic, onions, and grapes.
