Ragamuffin

Ragamuffins are gentle, easygoing, and deeply affectionate, they bond closely with everyone in the household, including kids, dogs, and visitors. They're quiet and adaptable, taking changes in stride, which makes them a great fit for calm households or busy ones that still want a devoted companion.

Moderate energy at most, they enjoy a bit of play but are just as happy lounging nearby. A few short play sessions a day with a wand toy or ball keeps them fit without much fuss.

Their thick, semi-long coat doesn't mat as easily as some long-haired breeds, but it still needs a brush two to three times a week to stay smooth and reduce loose fur around the house.

Smart and eager to be near you, Ragamuffins pick up routines and simple cues easily, especially with treats and patience. They're not big talkers, so watch body language rather than meows to gauge what they want.

Generally sturdy cats, but like their Ragdoll relatives they can be prone to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (a heart condition) and bladder stones. Routine vet checkups and keeping an eye on urinary habits and weight go a long way toward catching issues early.

They're famously floppy and trusting. Ragamuffins often go limp when picked up, so they do best in calm homes where they're not startled or roughly handled.
