We all owe a woman named Ann Baker of Riverside, California, and Josephine a feral cat much thanks for the start of the Ragdoll Breed. In the early 60's Josephine, a white, long haired cat, lived on Baker's property in a cat colony. Baker nursed Josephine back to health after a car accident, and she became quite friendly. Baker noticed special qualities in her new friend and her kittens and kept a female kitten from one of her litters. She named the kitten Buckwheat, who was a solid black cat or a black self female. One of Baker's neighbors, the Pennels, also kept a pointed, male kitten with white mittens from one of Josephine's litters. He called this kitten Daddy Warbucks. Baker obtained a female kitten, Fugianna, who was born of Josephine and Daddy Warbucks. She was the first bicolor Ragdoll. Baker, using the stud services of Daddy Warbucks, established the Ragdoll breed.
Ragdolls get their name from their docile nature and when you pick them up they go limp like a child’s "Rag Doll".
If you decide to become a Ragdoll Owner, be ready to have a cat that is devoted and loves you because you love them. Somewhat having the personality of a dog, loyally, Ragdolls will follow you and always have to be with you and be a part of what you are doing. Ragdolls love to interact and are very smart. They can be taught to fetch, catch toys, and learn very quickly the things you don't want them to do with the clap of your hands and a sharp "NO".
