How Did I Get a Ragdoll Cat Whithout Pedigree Parents?
I have been blessed to be the owner of a lovely ragdoll cat. I got him and his brother as kittens and have seen their mother. My ragdoll precisely fits the bi-color seal point description. His markings, eyes, coat, temperment and personality match the breed description to a tee.
However, his mother was NOT a ragdoll. She was a long hair black and white cat. The father is an unknown ferral. His brother is gray with white feet and chin. But his temperment fits the ragdolls. I want to know how I ended up with a cat who fits all the ragdoll catagories, yet his mother at least had no ragdoll features.
I have to boast a little, I love this guy so much. He is an incredible kitty. IF you have one, I would like to hear about him/her.
Additional Ragdoll Cat Info
You do not have a Ragdoll. You have a seal point and white domestic longhair. The genes to produce the ragdoll pattern are in the gene pool of free breeding domestic cats. You have a beautiful Ragdoll look-alike, but not a Ragdoll. Why not consider showing your cat?
