Breed standards describe the Ragdoll as affectionate, intelligent, relaxed in temperament, gentle and easy to handle. Ragdolls are very easygoing and sociable. They enjoy human company and get along with children and dogs. Ragdolls tend to follow you around in the house without necessarily asking for your attention.
They will never use their claws unless it is absolutely necessary. Contrary to the average street cat, they can easily adapt in apartments and are disciplined if you invest some time to train them. The Ragdoll is one of the largest domesticated cat breeds with a sturdy body, large frame and proportionate legs. A fully-grown female weighs from 3kg to 6kg. Males are substantially larger, ranging from 5kg to 9kg or more.
