About the Ragdoll Breed
Ragdoll cats are one of the largest breeds of cats and are in the Guinness Book of World Records. A Ragdoll kitten is born white. In a week or two they take on their color points and any pattern they have picked up from their parents. At 10 to 12 weeks they’re ready to be picked up from the breeder and should have their second set of shots. At maturity, Ragdoll males weigh 15-20 pounds and females 10-15 pounds. If you buy one as a pet and have it spayed or neutered It should weigh two to four pounds more. Ragdolls have a soft non-matting coat that is Rabbit like.

The patterns go along with the colors as you can see from the photos.
Bi-colors have an inverted V on their face, the rest of their body should be lighter than the pointed color but sometimes the back turns dark with age
Mitteds have well defined points except on the feel where they have a matched set of white mittens. Their hind legs are white up to mid thigh. A white blaze on their nose is acceptable
Color Point’s body color is lighter than the point color, but must be solid to the roots with no white patches.
Lynx have striping on their body, they can be mitted, bi-color or colorpointed
