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.

As the name suggests, The International Cat Association is recognized all over the world. It is a registry of pedigree cats and pets alike. It runs and organizes shows worldwide and supports responsible ownership and breeding. The association also works in local communities to give education about neutering and how to take care of your pet. It also supports charities and programs which benefit cats and their owners.

When you buy a kitten or puppy that is registered with a reputable association, you know your breeder is responsible and that the pet should be healthy. If it is pedigree, it should also match the breed standard regarding size color etc. Both pet and pedigree cats that are registered are eligible to compete in any TICA shows. If the kitten that you fall in love with does not meet the standard for the breed, you can still enter shows and join in the fun.

With three patterns and ten colors to choose from you are bound to find a kitty that is beautiful. Whether you choose mitted, colorpoint or bicolor the fur will be silky smooth to the touch. Despite being semi longhaired they normally shed just twice a year making them reasonably low maintenance. They do benefit from a regular grooming though, just like humans.

The range of colors is so varied that it covers nearly every hue you can imagine; blue, tabby, cinnamon and many more Whichever color the coat, their eyes are always bright blue like a clear sky; their eyes are one of the most distinctive features of this breed. With its stunning eyes, silky coat and beautiful markings this is one of the prettiest cats you can find.

Another key feature of this gentle giant is its size. Toms will mature to a massive 20lbs with queens not far behind at 15lb. Despite their size, ragdolls are friendly with other pets and family members. They are happy to live with dogs, kids and other cats.

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.

If you have never owned this beautiful breed in the past then your breeder is a great person to ask about all aspects of the breed. Take their advice about training, feeding and grooming. They will ensure you are furnished with all the information you require and be happy to answer questions. Unless you intend to breed you will want to think about neutering or spaying. Consult your local veterinarian practice and then you need not worry about an accidental litter of kittens sired by a random Tom.
