Enjoy The Benefits Of Owning TICA Registered Ragdoll Kittens

By Stacey Burt


Cat fanciers know that purchasing a kitten registered through The International Cat Association is a step toward better quality. The largest on the Earth, known as TICA, the genetic heritage of established breeds is maintained through the work of this organization. Anyone looking for a high quality Ragdoll would do well to search first here.

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.

Children do the best job with the Ragdoll breed. They will carry their favorite Rag around, just like a floppy doll. The cats don't mind being carried or dragged around too much. They seem to relish the chance to be dressed up like dolls. Without a doubt, their calm nature and happiness with playful youngsters is almost legendary.

Very much like soft rabbits, Rags have fluffy coats that do not need much care. They should have their undersides brushed regularly to avoid matting, but they actually only shed twice a year.

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.

Dolls will grow up to be very large and floppy rags, indeed. Males will be almost twenty pounds in many cases, and females can be as large as fifteen. While other breeds would be overweight if allowed to grow this large, this breed has long legs and bodies that accommodate their greater weight with grace.

The rounder faces and clear blue eyes give them an intelligent, pleasing appearance. Breeders keep them healthy by providing excellent veterinarian care, high quality food, genetic strengths testing and lots of love. Socialization with humans is encouraged by allowing the cats to roam freely within the cattery home. Participation in shows ensures excellence, while never caging their animals as they grow allows them to be more loving. Breeders work hard to ensure that their kittens do not have feline diseases and are up to date on their vaccinations.

Purchase a Ragdoll and they will enhance a home with children and pets. These loving cats are wonderful for play and companionship. Knowing that they come from good breeders is a plus.
