RagaMuffin for sale

It is a large, longhaired domestic cat developed from Ragdoll lines and other breeds to expand colors and patterns and widen the gene pool. Compared with most Ragdolls, it often has a more rounded head, shorter muzzle, and a wider range of coat and eye colors. The personality is similarly gentle and people oriented, but the breed is recognized separately with its own standards.

They are known for an exceptionally relaxed and affectionate temperament and often enjoy being carried or held for long periods. Many will go limp in their owner’s arms and follow people from room to room. They generally adapt well to calm households and are usually more interested in people than in high‑energy play.

The coat is long and very plush but has a soft, low‑maintenance texture that typically resists heavy matting. Most do well with a thorough brushing two or three times a week, with extra attention to the armpits, belly, and rear. Older or heavier cats may need more frequent combing to prevent tangles where they cannot groom themselves well.

They are usually excellent indoor companions that thrive on gentle interaction and routine. Their calm, tolerant nature suits respectful children and they often coexist well with other friendly cats and cat‑safe dogs. Because they are trusting and not very streetwise, they should be kept indoors or in secure outdoor enclosures.

Overall they are considered a relatively healthy breed, but they can be at risk for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and polycystic kidney disease due to their ancestry. Responsible breeders screen breeding cats for these conditions when tests are available. Like many large, heavy breeds, they also benefit from careful weight management to avoid joint and mobility issues.

They are a large, solidly built breed and adult males often weigh more than many other domestic cats. Physical and emotional maturity is slow, and it is common for them to keep filling out until 3 or 4 years of age. Kittens can look lanky before they grow into their full size and coat.

They do shed a moderate to high amount, especially seasonally, and their dense coat can leave noticeable hair around the home. Regular brushing and vacuuming help limit loose fur but will not eliminate it. They are not considered hypoallergenic and people with significant cat allergies often still react to them.

They are moderately active and enjoy interactive play but are not typically as athletic or intense as some slimmer breeds. Short sessions with wand toys, puzzle feeders, and climbing furniture help keep them fit and prevent boredom. Because they can be prone to weight gain, daily movement is important even if they seem content to lounge.

They tend to be relatively quiet and often use soft chirps or trills rather than loud meows. Many communicate through following behavior, steady eye contact, and gentle pawing or head butts to seek attention. Persistent changes in vocalization patterns can be a sign of stress or illness and should be checked by a veterinarian.

A careful breeder focuses on temperament, health testing, and proper socialization of kittens in a home environment. They should be open about genetic screening for heart and kidney issues, provide health records and a written contract, and be willing to discuss the breed’s needs honestly. Avoid sources that will not let you meet adult cats or that sell kittens without veterinary care or spay‑neuter agreements.
