About the Ragdoll The Ragdoll was developed in the 1960s in Riverside, California, by breeder Ann Baker, who selected for docile, floppy cats that go limp when held — hence the name. One of the largest domestic cat breeds, Ragdolls weigh 10–20 pounds (males often exceeding 15 pounds) and have striking blue eyes, a semi-long silky coat, and a colorpoint pattern with a lighter body and darker extremities. They come in six main colors — seal, blue, chocolate, lilac, red, and cream — with four patterns: colorpoint, mitted, bicolor, and lynx.Temperament & PersonalityRagdolls are famously gentle, relaxed cats that often follow their owners from room to room like loyal dogs. They tend to greet you at the door and flop at your feet, earning their reputation as "floor cats" and "puppy cats." Exceptionally tolerant and patient, they are among the best breeds for families with children and get along beautifully with dogs and other cats.ProsExtremely gentle and tolerant — ideal for households with young childrenSilky coat lacks a dense undercoat, reducing matting and shedding compared to other longhairsCalm, laid-back energy level — content with moderate play and lots of cuddlingDog-like devotion — follows owners, greets guests, and can learn simple tricksConsGenetic predisposition to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) — DNA testing recommendedTrusting and non-aggressive to a fault — must be kept strictly indoorsLarge size means higher food costs and need for oversized litter boxesCan develop bladder stones and urinary tract issuesIf a big, blue-eyed lap cat sounds like your dream companion, search for Ragdoll cats available for adoption on Puplister.

About the Siberian The Siberian — Russia's national cat — is a natural breed that has existed in the forests of Siberia for at least 1,000 years, first appearing in Russian fairy tales and eventually standardized as a breed in the 1980s. This large, powerful cat weighs 10–20 pounds and features a triple-layered, waterproof coat that protected it through harsh Russian winters — a dense undercoat, longer middle layer, and coarse guard hairs. They come in all colors and patterns, including the stunning pointed "Neva Masquerade" variety.Temperament & PersonalitySiberians are affectionate, adventurous cats with a playful, kitten-like spirit that lasts well into their senior years. They love water — don't be surprised to find one splashing in the sink or drinking from the faucet.
