Best Answer

Ragdoll cats almost always go limp and become relaxed when they are picked up. Some scientists believe that this is a genetic mutation while others think these cats are just so relaxed, friendly and trusting that they are simply at ease when picked up.

What are Ragdoll Cats?

Ragdoll Cats are a breed of cat that was created in California in the 1960s. You can learn more about them and their personalities on an informational website about Ragdoll catsRagdoll cats are a very docile breed of cat that loves people and attention. They got their name because the first Ragdoll mother was run over by a car when she was pregnant with kittens but she was not killed. When the kittens were born you could pick them up and they would go completely limp in you arms like a ragdoll hence the name. So now most Ragdoll cats go limp when picked up or carried.Another Answer:I personally have a Ragdoll, so I can tell you a bit. However my Ragdoll's personality is the exact opposite of most. Ragdoll were originally bred with a Persian and a Siamese,and can come in a variety of colors. Depending on what traits they receive from each kind of cat, they can be extremely fluffy and have the Persian's smushed face, or they can be more short haired and pointier like Siamese cats. The colors they can come in are mainly kinds similar to the Siamese, such as seal color-point, because the ideal Ragdoll cat was bred to have the long hair of the Persian and the beautiful markings of the Siamese. Personality wise, ragdolls typically are considered to be quite tranquil cats, and are said to love attention and being cuddled;they are usually lap cats.They are usually indoor cats, because due to their calm nature don't have the same fighting instincts as other cats. But, as in all breeds, their are exeptions to the rule, so if you are going to get a ragdoll, you should consult your vet about if it can be an indoor-outdoor cat. Some cats love being outside, so if your vet believes that your Ragdoll can defend itself well enough, you can allow it to roam around, but I would recommend trying to keep it in your own yard, for safety reasons.
