This articles talks about the similarities, as well as the differences between Ragdolls and Siamese cats so that you can get an idea of the unique features of each of these cats.
The biggest characteristic shared between Ragdoll and Siamese cats is the seal color pattern of their fur. This means the white to creamy white bodies with dark brown masks, ears, tails, and mittens in contrast.
Siamese – As the name may suggest, Siamese cats come from Thailand (Siam) and they are one of the oldest cat breeds in the entire world, dating back to 1351 AD.
Ragdolls – This breed also came about in the 1960s when seal point cats were all the rage. Ann Baker of Riverside, California developed the Ragdoll breed and trademarked the name.
Siamese – While the seal point Siamese cat is the breed’s best-known color variety, these cats also come in several other colors – blue point, chocolate point, lilac point, flame point, and cream point.
Ragdoll – This breed became popular with seal point individuals. As such, to this day, this is the most common type of Ragdoll cat. However, like for the Siamese, there is significant variety in colors and patterns.
