What Are Ragdoll Cats Like?

Ragdoll cats are known for their playful nature and gentle temperament. They are highly intelligent and affectionate, often seeking out human attention and interaction. Ragdoll cats are adaptable to other pets and humans, and are generally easygoing and sociable. It’s important to note that Ragdoll cats prefer not to be left alone for long periods of time, as they crave human companionship.

When considering a Ragdoll as a family pet, it’s essential to make sure that someone will be around to provide regular attention and playtime. Ragdoll cats are a large breed, weighing up to 20 pounds and measuring up to 24 inches in length. They have a plush coat that comes in a variety of colors and patterns, including seal, blue, chocolate, lilac, and red. Registered Ragdoll breeders will have kittens for sale with these and other fur variations.

How Much Do Ragdoll Cats Cost in Melbourne?

As a sought-after breed, Ragdoll Cats for sale in Melbourne cost between $600 and $1,500. A cat’s price is based on its pedigree, coat quality, age, health and vaccination history. If an Ragdoll Cat’s parents are show-winning, they can be even more expensive.

Do Ragdoll Cats Have Any Health Issues?

Like all breeds of cats, Ragdolls may be prone to certain health issues. One of the most common concerns is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a heart condition that can cause thickening of the heart muscle and may lead to heart failure. Ragdolls may also be more prone to urinary tract problems, such as bladder stones or infections. Additionally, their long, thick coat may be prone to matting and skin irritation, which can lead to skin infections. It’s important to work with a reputable breeder and provide your Ragdoll cat with regular veterinary check-ups, a balanced diet, and proper grooming to help promote good health.

I have had two interests since I was very young… the Internet and cats. I grew up with two lovely cats in my family, Midnight and Chloe. But when I started looking for a cat as an adult, I realized how few reliable resources there are for finding ethical breeders. So I combined my Internet skills and cat knowledge to create Cat Kingpin, the #1 resource for cat breeders online. Have a question or suggestion for my list? You can reach me here.
