Understand The Benefits Of Owning TICA Registered Ragdoll Kittens

By Stacey Burt


For the cat fancier, owning a cat registered with The International Cat Association, or TICA, can b e an important choice. This registry is the largest in the world. It contains the genetic records of the most famous cats, and a trusted source for the popular Ragdoll breed.

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.

Because Ragdolls flop over loving arms when held, they earned their name from the old fashioned soft playthings. Floppy pets have been known to allow dress up play, being dragged onto laps, and being carried around the house by little ones. They are simply calm and good natured animals.

For anyone who adores petting a soft coat of fur, the extreme softness of Rags is pretty irresistible. Though not completely a short hair, the moderate length really only needs basic brushing and some extra pick up of loose fur when these cats shed, about two times each year. Fall and spring are the two seasons when extra, but easy, clean up is necessary. A damp cloth is pretty much all that is required, and they do not generally lose much fur.

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.

Be aware that kittens will grow up to become large cats. Females and males will range in weight from ten to twenty pounds, respectively. Not considered overweight, they carry weight over longer legs and bodies.

Their round faces and lovely blue eyes give them healthy and intelligent glances. Their breeders work hard to ensure the best food and growing environments are provided. This may mean that they are socialized from a very young age by roaming freely throughout the cattery, playing with other cats and people. They generally receive all necessary veterinarian checks and vaccinations, plus genetic tests before they can be adopted into their forever homes.

When children are part of the home, a TICA Ragdoll kitten is a wonderful choice. Families find that these friendly cats do well with the hustle and bustle normally found in homes. Contacting an established cattery is the best way to learn about ways that one of these large, yet soft, living dolls might become part of a welcoming home. Look online for top breeders carrying logos on their Internet websites that establish their membership and relationship with standard registries. Consulting these experts will bring assurance that a healthy happy kitty comes to its new home.
