Enti – Hodowla Ragdoll

Ragdoll

Ragdoll cattery began with an American woman, Ann Baker, whose white long-haired cat Josephine suffered permanent injuries in a traffic accident. The kittens born by her later turned out to be extremely calm and phlegmatic. Their lack of reaction to raising and caressing was associated with a rag doll.

This name was approved in 1965. The National Cat Lovers Association, and later other associations. The assertion of the alleged inability of this race to feel pain or fear as a result of Josephine’s accident does not support scientific reasoning. This particular kind of temperament may be justified in the fact that cats with a friendly temperament were selected for the first associations.

Temperament and care

Ragdolls are extremely attached, loving and cheerful. In principle, phlegmatic and calm, with a quiet voice, they love to play and caress, often their character is called “dogish” because of the close relationship they have with people.

Our ragdolls are following us step by step, watching movies with us and eating breakfast. They are very social creatures, they need to be close to their human being. The minimal contact that our cats accept is to touch you with paw or lean your back against us.

Their thick coat is not felted and therefore it is easy to cultivate it, it is enough to systematically brush the torso and comb the longer hair around the tail and neck. As all cats take care of cleanliness and wash a few to a dozen times a day.
