DAILY LIFE OF A RAGDOLL:

Ragdolls are playful animals who will enjoy having toys left out for them. They're not super high climbers so cat trees can be low to the ground. Ragdolls don't require a lot of extras in the way of exercise. You can expect them to spend a lot of time lying around, with short bursts of play and activity between frequent naps.

​

RAGDOLL PERSONALITY TRAITS:

They are patient, gentle, incredibly social, calm, quiet, loyal, smart and easy to train, and playful. Some Ragdolls absolutely love to be held and will lounge on you as long as possible . They tend to go limp when picked up - hence the Ragdoll name.  Ragdolls are a great fit for families with young children and other pets.

Ragdolls will live up to 15 years! They will be part of your family for a very long time.
