Ragdolls have big oval shaped eyes and a silky furr. The Ragdoll is a half longhaired or mid longhaired cat who has tufts between the pawpads and plumes in the ears.
The pointed Ragdoll shows a Siamese pattern with dark points on the ears, legs,
tail and mask, combined with blue eyes.
The mink Ragdolls have a darker bodycolor combined with grey to dark blue eyecolour, but the ideal eyecolor for a mink is blue/green, also known as aqua eyecolor.
The solid or self colored Ragdoll, also called non pointed Ragdoll has a dark coattexture combined with green, orange, golden or even odd eyed eyecolor.
Currently we are still working on an update of our website, so please be patient for more explanation and photos of the mink and solid Ragdolls.
In the mean time, we can refer you for more information about these Ragdolls to the The Solid Ragdoll website.
Below is already an explantion of the pointed Ragdoll colors and patterns. The Ragdoll exists in 3 different patterns and 4 traditional colors and several new colors.
The three patterns are : colorpoint, mitted and bicolor.
The traditional Ragdoll colors are : blue, seal, chocolate and lilac.
Chocolate and lilacs are very rare. Since Ragdolls are slow to mature it can take
3 to 4 years before they have reached their full color. Often a very light seal is
mistaken for a chocolate and a lilac can turn out to be a very pale blue.
The new colors are red, cream, tortie, lynx.
Lynx is a different name for tabby and is considered an addition to the other colors.
A lynx tortie is called a torbie.
colorpoint :
The colourpoint or shortly called "point" has points, like the ears, the mask, the feet and tail who are darker then the rest of the body. The bodycolor has to be lighter then the points. Pictured above is Calaquendi Dolls Carai Tommy, blue point male kitten.
Mitted :
Mitted means handgloved. The frontlegs have white handgloves of equal size and the hindlegs have white boots to a maximum of halfway up the thigh. The chin is white. The mitted has preferably a white stripe running over the middle of the abdomen (from chin to the tail). Some mitteds have a white blaze on the nose or between the eyes. The points with exception of the legs are darker than the rest of the body.
Bicolor :
The points are darker then the rest of the body. The mask has a white inverted V which stays between the outer eye edges. A symmetrical inverted V is preferable. The nose leather is pink. Body : chin, breast, underside and legs are white. The back may show up to 1/3 white. The pawpads are preferably pink, but a mix of colors is accepted.
