This site is dedicated to Ragdolls and is here to provide Ragdoll cat owners and breeders with information and knowledge about the Ragdoll breed. Floppycats.com offers general information from breeding to health concerns to general information about cats.

There are many websites out there dedicated to people’s cats, health concerns for cats, and certainly most Ragdoll breeders have their own websites. However, there does not seem to be a main ALL RAGDOLL website. That's what Floppycats.com is here to achieve. There seem to be two groups of Ragdoll aficionados that exist at the moment: those people who own Ragdoll pets and love them and then those people who either own a Ragdoll and show it in cat shows or own Ragdolls and show them as well as breed them. The intention is that Floppycats.com will bridge the gap between these two groups, so that information is passed more readily and knowledge between and within these groups is more consistent and available.

The goal of Floppycats.com is to be a central location, sort of like a Google™ for "Ragdoll people".

Ragdolls are a breed of cat, introduced in the 1960s by Ann Baker that are lovely natured, fairly big, with a strong body and a flat-skulled head, large tufted paws, a beautiful bushy tail and blue eyes that are large and oval in shape and they come in a variety of color points and mitted. The coat is silky and medium in length, and the fur is fairly dense. The coat comes in seal, blue, chocolate, solids, minks, cream, red, tortie and lilac, and in three patterns: color-pointed, mitted (with paw tips of a different color),and bi- colored.

The name "Ragdoll" is derived from the myth that these cats go completely limp and relaxes when picked up, more often than other cats. It's also a myth that Ragdolls are pain-resistant.

The Ragdoll is surrounded by tales-such as the story that the mother of the first litter was run over by a car and so produced "floppy" kittens, or the myth that cats of this breed cannot protect themselves because they are too docile-but in fact it is simply a good tempered, gentle cat that will often "flop" in a person's arms like a Ragdoll.
