Ragamese Kittens for sale in Stone, Staffordshire

1 Ragamese Kittens for sale in Stone, Staffordshire

A Ragamese is a mixed breed cat resulting from a Ragdoll and a Siamese pairing, creating a fascinating blend of two distinct feline personalities and physical traits. These cats typically inherit the Ragdoll's larger, more substantial build while often displaying the Siamese's sleek coat patterns and striking color points on the ears, face, legs, and tail. Their fur is usually medium-length, softer than a purebred Siamese but not as plush as a full Ragdoll's coat. Temperamentally, Ragamese cats often exhibit an intriguing combination of the Ragdoll's docile, relaxed nature with the Siamese's vocal and social tendencies. They may be more talkative than typical Ragdolls but calmer than purebred Siamese cats. These crosses frequently retain the Ragdoll's tendency to go limp when handled, while also displaying the Siamese intelligence and curiosity. Their eyes are typically blue, inherited from both parent breeds, and they often make devoted, interactive companions who enjoy following their owners around the house while maintaining a generally gentle and affectionate demeanor.

FAQs

What are the cons of owning a Ragdoll cat?

Ragdoll cats require a lot of human companionship and can become anxious if left alone for long periods. They are not suited for outdoor living due to their gentle nature and poor self-defense skills, making them vulnerable to attacks. Ragdolls can be overly playful or destructive during play, sometimes nipping legs for attention. They are prone to obesity if not carefully monitored, which can lead to health issues like diabetes and arthritis. Additionally, Ragdolls are not hypoallergenic as they produce high levels of the allergenic protein Fel d 1, and some may find their vocal or attention-demanding behaviours challenging.

What are the characteristics of a Ragamese cat?

A Ragamese cat is generally a hybrid between a Ragdoll and a Siamese, combining the Ragdoll’s calm and affectionate nature with the Siamese's vocal and active personality. They usually have a slender body, blue eyes, and distinctive pointed coloration merging features of both breeds. They tend to be intelligent, affectionate, and social, but for precise breed details, consulting specialist breeders or breed guides is recommended.

Why are Ragdolls so expensive?

Ragdolls are expensive due to their popularity and the investment responsible breeders make in health testing, proper care, and selective breeding to meet strict breed standards, especially for show-quality cats. Producing Ragdolls that meet these standards requires careful mating, time, and resources, which all contribute to their higher price. The demand for their gentle temperament and aesthetic traits also increases their market value.

How much do Ragdoll cats usually cost?

Pet-quality Ragdoll kittens usually cost between £200 and £700. Overall, prices can range from £500 to £1100, typically including registration, vaccinations, and spaying or neutering.
