Breed History: The Ragamuffin is a Ragdoll cat in a coat of many colors. It has luxuriantly long plush fur, wide, inquisitive oval eyes, and an unusually docile and happy disposition. A Ragamuffin never gets itself worked up over a day's events. Why worry when you can play or sleep instead?

Ragamuffins were designated as a separate breed in 1994 because their ancestors, the Ragdolls (which look like longhaired Siamese or Birmans), are recognized for competition in limited colors. The Ragamuffin, on the other hand, can come in many colors, including all pointed color varieties: red, tortie, mink, sepia, seal, blue, chocolate or lilac.
