Did you know that Daddy Warbucks, the foundation male for the Ragdoll cat breed, had a white tail tip? I didn’t know it was possible, until a reader introduced me to Teddy. Now, through the wonders of Facebook I have come to discover there are a lot of Ragdolls that have a white tial tiop. Of course, this is considered to be a mismark in the cat show ring, but I think it is really neat!Posted below are pictures of Ragdoll Cats with white tipped tails!

I’m a bit of a fan of the white tail tip too. As a breeder, it’s not something you want in a show or stud cat, but I think it’s cute and often the mismarked kittens and cats have such great personality.. and it all shows in their markings!
soooo cute I would look at that snowball tipped tail as a specialty marking,possibley passed down by our wonderful Ragdoll,great ancestors.All these kittys are so special.If I won the lotto I would create a Ragdoll cat santuary with everything they could possibly desire,and nothing but Love and innocence.Big fan of all RAGGYS Bye Lisa
Those photos are so adorable! Think the white tip just adds another degree of cuteness to the mix. Now if Illaria could just have a white tip, she would love her tail even more – not really – her tail is her pride and joy so much so, she even sleeps with it all hugged up tight to her heart. It is like her favorite teddy bear!
Miss Illaria Rose Peabody’s tail is SUPER FLUFFYLICIOUS! It’s GORGEOUS! No wonder she’s so proud of it and takes such very good care of it! She’s such a girly-girl and I lurve that about HER so much, Sweet T! 🙂 <3
I have had a number of kittens born with the white tail tip. I love it and their new owners usually like it too. I always tell them that it was present with Daddy Warbucks. My latest kitten with a tip is a bicolor with the white tip which is a bit unusual since Daddy Warbucks and most of your pictures show Ragdolls with the mitted pattern. I don’t think we breeders can control the white on Ragdolls. We try, but the white goes where it wants!
How fun – if you want to share photos of your kitties with white tipped tails on this page – just shoot me the photos via email (along with any credits or captions you’d like) and I can get them online – giving you photo credit, etc.
Wow! So glad you re-posted this, Jenny! Fascinating and adorable! I had no idea about the white-tipped tails! All those White-Tipped Tail Lovebugs are GORGEOUS! I saw where somebody previously mentioned they want them all! Me, too! Lurve them! Thanks for this great info! Love to learn new things about our super pawesome Ragdoll Breed!
My new baby has a tiny white tail tip! I don’t have a really good picture of it, but will send it to you after she comes home. 🙂 It’s my understanding that the white tail tip is acceptable in the show ring for mitted cats only.
Absolute.y! I pick her up next Saturday, May 27th. Can’t wait to see what Denali thinks of his new little sister. You know I’ll be taking lots of pictures and will be excited to share.
how fun! so soon.
My future Ragdoll kitten has a cute mini white tail tip too! I think it makes her so unique and even cuter! Looking forward to pick her up in 1 more week!

I want them all! Talk about a Cuteness Overload!
Wow I didn’t know that either! Such cute pictures!
I love the white-tipped tail! I find it extremely adorable after discovering Teddy long, long ago!
Actually it is only considered a color fault in TICA, both CFA and CFF accept the tip!
YAY!

Yes, it is weird that it isn’t show quality, considering one of the founders had a white tipped tail!!

My Mitsy has a white tipped tail. We love it!
How adorable! I LOVE that these have little “flags” on their tails like so many Corgis do!
I wonder how they bred out the tip while keeping the other white markings? I like the tip; I can see many bedtime stories created around it =)

HI Lana,
How fun – if you want to share photos of your kitties with white tipped tails on this page – just shoot me the photos via email (along with any credits or captions you’d like) and I can get them online – giving you photo credit, etc.
Thanks,
Jenny
The white-tipped tail is so charming!!
Absolutely stunning pictures. However, all of the Ragdolls I have/had don’t have a white tail tip. I’m glad. I love my babies just the way they are. 🙂
Another pretty marking variation – thanks for the pictures and the background story, Jenny! 🙂

Love those white-tipped tails! Adds such a cuteness degree even more if that is possible!♥️

oh, i didnt know you didn’t have her yet – yes, please do send a photo when you are settled with her and think about it.
Absolute.y! I pick her up next Saturday, May 27th. Can’t wait to see what Denali thinks of his new little sister. You know I’ll be taking lots of pictures and will be excited to share.
