Ragdoll Cat Pictures: The Seal Mitted Transition
One of my favorite things about seal mitted Ragdoll cats is how they start off white and then morph into these beautiful creatures with lusciously dark coats.
Here is a photo of Caymus and Murphy with Rags. Rags is 15 years old and Caymus and Murphy are less than 6 months old. They are all seal mitted Ragdoll cats.

Do you have a photo of your Ragdoll cat as a kitten and then one of she or he as an adult – showing how their color came in? If so, please share them on our blog site – and I will then compile them into one blog post at a later date. Submit Your Photos Here.

Hi, I’m Jenny Dean, creator of Floppycats! Ever since my Aunt got the first Ragdoll cat in our family, I have loved the breed. Inspired by my childhood Ragdoll cat,
I think it’s amazing how their coats change – and you never know what they’ll really look like.
Charlie and Caymus really got dark markings, and Murphy’s are more like Willow’s.
When I first adopted Willow, she was mostly all white and I was told that she was a Rag/Siamese mix. After 5 weeks, she is getting darker markings on her tail, ears and mask. Her markings are Torti and her eyes are the most beautiful color of blue. She is very striking.
It’s fun to see them change. When my Willow arrived we met a Siamese breeder at the airport. She was convinced she was a chocolate point purebred. Even when I explained she was a Gato (street cat) jack hammered out of a storm drain in San Juan – she wasn’t convinced.
Willow has gorgeous markings – not too dark – but really distinct. And her fur is amazing. Super soft and no shedding. Happily she also stayed tiny – so she’s the perfect playmate for her older Gato brother Morgan. The rest of the gang here are double their size.
Love it!

How long did it take your cats to reach those rich colors? within a year of birth? Or two to three years? Our hawkeye is 10 months and is a light cream tan color, but I wonder when her color will stop deepening. Just wondering…
thanks

Hi Paula,
About 1 year, but when I took them off of dry food – they got lighter again as seen in Charlie here: http://www.floppycats.com/ragdoll-cat-color-change-charlie.html
Hope that helps,
Jenny
There is an awesome example here, http://www.ragdollkittens.ca/ragdoll_breed_standards.pdf, on the 14th page of a seal bicolor from birth +
It is so much fun to watch our Ragdolls slowly change in colors as they mature. Its like watching them go through the seasons of there life…….I have a seal point Ragdoll name Bear who just turned 14 years old …I noticed a lighter face with a bit of grey…very handsome in his middle older years!
