The character of Ragdoll is best defined as affectionate, pleasant and friendly thereby they are curious and inquisitive, intelligent and they certainly have a sense of humour.
They always make me laugh and feel good.
Ragdolls always want to make contact , some talk against you, other can look as if they want something of you.
Ragdolls have the amazing capacity to communicate. They're also called the dog amongst the cats. They always want to be near you, under (beside) the shower, on the bath edge or on your lap, they even follow you through and around the house. They like to play even at high age.
They are nevertheless also enormously kind and peacefull cats which gladly lie besides you and want be cuddled.
Just like a dog Ragdolls are focused at their owner and their faith is immense, and they will love you for they're entire life.
Their large faith in people ensures that they can even live well with children and other house animals, like for example dogs and rabbits.
They will not strike out with their claws, but rather walk away.
The ideal Ragdoll is large, 'big boned', muscular cat.
To be external, especially with males they have a stature of withdrawn strength,a splendid posture.
Females are significantly smaller but also of very good size..
It can take as much three up to four years for a Ragdoll to mature into his definite colours, fleece pattern, weight and size.
