Overview
Ragdolls are calm and contented with a loving, quiet and very laid back disposition. They are very social and like to be with their owner. Ragdolls are known to get along well with other animals and are especially good with children. They are often compared to dogs because of their friendliness and intelligence and have even been taught to play fetch. Activity level is moderate and limited to a few intense bursts of energy a day. Ragdolls will follow you from room to room and like to be held, but do not have an intrusive type of affection. Although Ragdolls are not very vocal, they can make themselves heard (especially as kittens) if they are anxious or looking for their family members.
Health and temperament
Being a larger breed, Ragdolls are prone to heart conditions and stress on their bones and joints.
Ragdolls are known for their friendly personality. They are very laid back and thrive on companionship. They are both a playful and relaxed breed as they enjoy playing but also are a great lap cat.
