Understand The Benefits Of Owning TICA Registered Ragdoll Kittens

By Stacey Burt


Cat fanciers know that purchasing a kitten registered through The International Cat Association is a step toward better quality. The largest on the Earth, known as TICA, the genetic heritage of established breeds is maintained through the work of this organization. Anyone looking for a high quality Ragdoll would do well to search first here.

A family that already owns a dog and has children will do well with the friendly Rags. For those seeking fine breeding, TICA registered Ragdoll kittens are an excellent complement to an already established home.To discover what kitties might be currently available for sale, an online search of catteries with established memberships in the top breeder associations is a great way to get started. The best have good websites with galleries of photos devoted to educating prospective owners about their offerings. It is good to learn that many will allow visits, and will also take care of getting that cherished kitten to its new owners.

They get their name from their tendency to flop, much like a soft doll, over the arms of their owner while carried. Children are known to carry a floppy pet from room to room, or to play dress up with these lovable pets. Flopped over arms during all kinds of play times, calmness and acceptance are part of their nature.

Very much like soft rabbits, Rags have fluffy coats that do not need much care. They should have their undersides brushed regularly to avoid matting, but they actually only shed twice a year.

There are three kinds of Ragdoll kittens. The mitted variety has white front paws. The colorpoint has the classic colored ears, mask, paws and tails of this famous Siamese. Bicolor Rags have areas of white in larger amounts on their legs, stomachs and backs, including a distinct V inverted on their faces. Avoiding buying from anyone who claims to have a newly developed or rare color is best. There are only three classic colorings recognized by the standard registry associations. Variations are generally considered to be inferior and are not accepted.

Dolls will grow up to be very large and floppy rags, indeed. Males will be almost twenty pounds in many cases, and females can be as large as fifteen. While other breeds would be overweight if allowed to grow this large, this breed has long legs and bodies that accommodate their greater weight with grace.

These cats have large blue eyes, and pleasing, rounder faces. With intriguing, inquisitive glances, many believe them to be quite intelligent. The best breeders encourage their cats to be healthy by giving them excellent food, and allowing them to roam freely throughout their homes. Keeping feline diseases in check is accomplished by rigorous testing, appropriate vaccinations, and DNA tests for genetic strengths. Cats often grow up having never been in a cage at the highest quality establishments. Many participate regularly in shows in order to ensure socialization and excellence.

Purchase a Ragdoll and they will enhance a home with children and pets. These loving cats are wonderful for play and companionship. Knowing that they come from good breeders is a plus.
