Which cat breed is right for you?
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.
Ragdolls 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.

The Ukrainian Levkoy is a distinctive and very rare breed created in Ukraine in 2004 by crossing Donskoy (Don Sphynx) cats with Scottish Folds. The result is a hairless or nearly hairless cat with unique inward-folding ears that curl gently forward like a levkoy (wallflower) petal — giving the breed its name. Weighing 7–12 pounds, this medium-sized cat has an angular, dog-like face with prominent cheekbones, almond-shaped eyes, and soft, elastic, wrinkled skin that ranges from completely bald to a fine velour covering.
Ukrainian Levkoys are gentle, social cats that form strong attachments to their families and enjoy being handled and cuddled. They are intelligent and playful without being hyperactive, content to alternate between interactive play sessions and long naps in warm spots. Friendly with children and other pets, they are adaptable and easygoing in most household environments.
