The Ragdoll is a breed of cat with a distinct colorpoint coat and blue
eyes. Its morphology is large and weighty, and it has a semi-long and
silky soft coat. American breeder Ann Baker developed Ragdolls in the
1960s. They are best known for their docile, placid temperament and
affectionate nature. The name 'Ragdoll' is derived from the tendency of
individuals from the original breeding stock to go limp and relaxed when
picked up. The breed is particularly popular in both the United Kingdom
and the United States. Ragdolls are often known as "dog-like cats" or
"puppy-like cats", due to their tendency to follow people around, their
receptiveness to handling, and their relative lack of aggression towards
other pets. Ragdolls are distinguishable by their pointed coloration
(where the body is lighter than the face, ears, legs, and tail), large
round blue eyes, soft, thick coats, thick limbs, long tails, and soft
bodies. Their color rings are commonly tricolor or bicolor.
