Ragamuffin Cat

The Ragamuffin cat is known for its docile nature. It loves to be held like a baby and will completely relax into your arms when you pick it up to hold it. Female cats in this breed usually weigh from 10 to 15 pounds and some of the males of this breed can reach up to 20 pounds. Like its closely related cousin the Ragdoll, the Ragamuffin is a very sociable and lovable cat that wants nothing more than to just follow its owner around and wait for the chance to jump into the owners lap for a nice cuddle. This cat is often called puppy like for having a friendly personality and a willingness to play fetch, learn tricks, and walk on a leash. Since this cat is very sociable it’s very good with other animals and is definitely not afraid of strangers. Ragamuffins love to play but are very good at knowing what to play with and what not to play with. This cat is very smart and know the difference between their jingling mouse toy and a soft plush couch. Another thing to add is its almost nonexistent for them to lay a claw on a person or to bite someone so if you are looking for a kid friendly cat, this is definitely the type of cat to go for. For being docile this cat craves attention so don’t get one of these cats if you have to leave it hours on end. The Ragamuffin’s soft coat is long, but its texture is tangle-resistant. So a weekly brushing or combing is all the cat needs to look beautiful. Keeping the litter box clean is a must. Cats are very particular about their hygiene so make sure you clean that litter box religiously. As for being an outside cat, that’s a no no. With its fearless personality, it’s not a good idea to let the cat go outside. Like I said this cat craves human companionship so letting it live outside wouldn’t bode well for this cat.  An interesting fact about this cat is that all of the kittens are born white and then develop their color or pattern as they mature into a full grown cat. The Ragamuffin cat is the ideal family cat. They don’t mind being held and carried around by small children or dressed up and pushed in a baby carriage. But remember to teach your children to hold and treat your cat properly, you don’t want to scare your poor cat away.
