Ragdoll Cat Colors and Pattern

Ragdoll cat colors and patterns come in a wide variety. Each one is gorgeous and elegant in its own right 

The Ragdoll cat has a soft semi-long coat that does not require as regular a grooming as many other long-haired breeds. 

You can tell seal and blue anywhere from a few days to a week, but you cannot determine chocolate and lilac for 3-4 weeks.  

All color is completely evident by 8-12 weeks but Ragdoll patterns and colors do not come for about 2 years. 

Any cat that is a color-pointed breed (like a Ragdoll, Birman, Himalayan, Siamese, etc.) will color later in life basically because the point gene reacts to the surrounding warmth.  

The moment the kittens start to be exposed to the lower ambient temperature they start to color.  Since their extremities will tend to be colder, they will color the fastest.
