The Ragdoll was developed in California in the 1960s, named for its tendency to go limp and relaxed when held. This large, blue-eyed breed quickly became popular for its striking appearance and docile temperament.

Personality-wise, Ragdolls are calm, affectionate, and people-oriented. They love being held and will often follow their owners from room to room. Known as one of the most laid-back cat breeds, they get along well with children, other cats, and even dogs, making them excellent family companions.
