The neck is short & heavy-set with a medium sized head & tapering, with full cheeks & a round muzzle. They have short legs & large paws. They also have a long tail & the ears are wide at the base with rounded tips, which slightly tilt forwards. They have big, beautiful, blue, oval-shaped eyes & the nose & pads are black or brown. Ragdolls originated in the early 1960’s in California, USA. It started when a White Persian-Angora cat named Josephine (who was owned by Anne Baker, the founder of the breed), bred with a Birman male, called Daddy Warbucks & had remarkable kittens, which grew very large & had a great disposition, of a very relaxed and loving nature. Anne Baker kept some of the kittens & bred them with a Burmese & other undetermined sires.
