​Ragdoll Cat Colors and Patterns​

Ragdoll cat colors and patterns come in a wide variety. Each one is gorgeous and elegant in its own right. The Ragdoll cat has a soft semi-long coat that does not require as regular a grooming as many other long-haired breeds. Ragdolls are born white (unless they are mink cats), and Ragdoll cat colors and patterns come in slowly.

​oneisall Cat Clippers​

Charlie's winter coat is molting more and more right now, and this is a life-saver with the mats he gets. He hates being groomed and I cut his skin once with scissors when I was trying to remove a mat. So I use these now and they don't bother him at all, we get the job done so much faster and safer.

​Lumos – Ragdoll Kitten of the Month​

For all you non-Harry Potter fans, Lumos is ‘a wand-lighting charm’, that illuminates the wand tip, which was very appropriately chosen for him because when I met “V”, he instantly brought “light” into my dark world, thus Lumos. 😊
