Overview
The RagaMuffin is closely related to the Ragdoll but comes in more colors and patterns. These large, cuddly cats are known for their docile temperament and tendency to go limp when held. They're often described as 'puppy-like' in their devotion.
Health
RagaMuffins can be prone to Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) and Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). They may also develop obesity if overfed. Genetic testing is available. With proper care, they live 12-16 years.
Care & Grooming
Their silky coat resists matting but benefits from weekly brushing. They're not demanding but love attention. Provide sturdy furniture—they're large cats! Keep them indoors as their trusting nature makes them vulnerable outside.
