RAGAMUFFIN CATS
The
RagaMuffin is a large cuddly breed, with a plush, semi-long
coat and a warm, friendly disposition. Bred first and
foremost for a sweet, laid-back temperament, they are true
people-loving cats.
Description
The
RagaMuffin is a direct descendant of Josephine, the original
Rag-type cat.
There are
many colours/patterns available. Solids, Tabbies, Torties,
Lynx, Mink, as well as blue-eyed pointed varieties. The coat
length varies slightly but in general it is low-maintenance
compared to that of other longhaired breeds. They also tend
to be soft-pawed,
|
meaning
that they almost never put out their claws. Males average
between 15-20 pounds (or more) and females are smaller,
between nine-14 pounds. They are a slow maturing breed of
cat, in that they don't reach full maturity until three to
four years of age.
Characteristics and Temperament
The
Ragamuffin is a large lap cat and described as the perfect
pet. They socialize well with people, children and other
animals.
They are
playful, well behaved, loving and can be taught to do
tricks. The
RagaMuffin is STRICTLY AN INDOOR PET. Their docile nature
makes them especially vulnerable
|

to
outside dangers, they tend to think everyone should be their
friend! They don't possess the same defense instincts as
most other cats do, so they must be kept inside and
protected.
