Things To Know About Ragdoll Kittens TICA Registered

By Janet Hill


Ragdolls are one of the prettiest and best natured of all the domestic cat breeds. Like their name they can be easily carried around like toys. They tend to be more playful when young and become very laidback as they mature. If you are intending to show your cat or want to ensure your breeder is reputable then you need to look for Ragdoll kittens TICA registered.

TICA is the International Association for Cat owners, breeders and anyone with an interest in felines. It holds registry of both domestic and pedigree cats as well as breeders, breed information and a wealth of related topics. They hold shows all over the world and work in local communities to help rescue animals and educate about cat welfare.

Breeder who take the time to register their animals with a reputable association like TICA will normally be well respected and breed healthy cats. If they are breeding pedigree cats they should conform to the standard for that breed. Even if the kitten is not breed standard, they cab still be shown in the domestic classes and win prizes.

There are ten colors and three patterns to select from so you are certain to find a kitten that you fall in love with. Regardless of whether you select colorpoint, bicolor or mitted the coat will be silky and soft to touch. Although they are semi longhaired, shedding occurs just twice a year which makes them quite low maintenance. Just like humans though they like daily grooming to keep them in top condition.

With the wide range of patterns and colors you will be spoiled for choice. Every Ragdoll has bright blue eyes and they are all as pretty as a picture. You will have no trouble finding a truly beautiful addition to the family,

Ragdolls are also known for their sturdy frame and large size. The queens can grow to up to 15lbs which is about 7 bags of sugar. The toms can get as large as 20lbs making them quite heavy for a small child to carry around. Their docile nature means they do not throw that weight around and will normally live happily alongside other pets including dogs.

While Ragdolls have a reputation for being so laidback they can be dressed in dolly clothes, it is worth remembering they are still an animal. They need to be treated kindly and children should not be encouraged to use them like toys. They are, if distantly, related to lions and retain the ability to scratch and bite.

When you go to select your kitten, you can ask the owner about this wonderful breed. They will be able to give you information about feeding, training and grooming. They can also help you and advise you about showing if that is something you would like to try. Decide whether you would like to have kittens in the future and if not then once back at home consult your veterinarian about neutering. It is far better to neuter or spay rather than have an unwanted litter.
