Ragdoll kittens for sale California are gentle giants. Their docile and affectionate nature makes them easy to love. They get their name from the tendency of some to go limp when held, like an old-fashioned rag doll. They're intelligent. They answer to their name. Most instinctively play gently, without extending their claws. Often they surprise their owners with a love for a good game of fetch.
A word of caution. This must be an indoor cat only. Their calm and docile nature puts them in great danger in the outside world. They don't have the survival skills that prompt other cat breeds to run from fast moving cars or attacking dogs. Their unusually placid and unperturbed nature makes this a great indoor only family pet. They love kids and strangers, other cats and dogs. They follow their family from room to room, always on the lookout for a lap to sit on. They run to the door when they hear the doorbell. Like a companion dog, this sociable feline wants to share your life.
Ragdolls display an array of pattern and color combinations. Patterns include colorpoint (body lighter in color than points), van, mitted, and bi-color. Colors are seal, chocolate, red, cream, lilac, and blue. Kittens are white when born. Patterns show after 10 days. They don't show their full colors for 2-3 years.
Breeders and breed organizations don't always agree on breed standards. Some breeders specialize in rare or solid colors including the popular mink coloring. Some of these have blue green eyes instead of blue eyes. If you're purchasing a cat for show or breeding, research this issue before making a purchase. Rare colors and blue green eyes are not recognized by most cat associations as purebred. They can't be shown or win championships. If you're purchasing a family pet, choose the kitten you fall in love with.

Associations recognizing this breed include Cat Fanciers Association, the Association of Cat Enthusiasts, American Cat Fanciers, the United Feline Organization, and The International Cat Association.
