Origins of the Siamese Ragdoll Mix

When a purebred Siamese and a purebred Ragdoll mate, the result is a litter of beautiful crossbreed kittens. Their adorable colorpoint coats and tiny meows will instantly melt any cat lover’s heart. But who created this breed, and what do we know about its origins?

Perhaps the mystery behind this breed’s origins adds to its charm. Basically, we don’t know with certainty who first bred Ragamese cats. It was likely an accident. However, this “accident” turned into purposeful breeding. Today, the breed is commonly known and loved by feline enthusiasts.

Physical Traits of the “Ragamese”

As with other mixed breeds, Ragamese cats might inherit traits from either of their purebred parents. Consequently, these lovely furballs have a truly unique appearance. Their enchanting blue eyes from both the Ragdoll and the Siamese will have you mesmerized. Siamese points or mitted patterns usually color their silky, medium-length coats. That means their little paws, ears, muzzles, and tails are a darker shade than the rest of the body.

Ragamese kitties often have a graceful, medium-to-large build with a muscular structure. However, if you’re looking at a Ragamese kitten, you may as well flip a coin to determine how big she will grow. That’s because Siamese cats are quite slender, while Ragdolls are very large. So, Ragamese cats have a range of sizes. They may weigh 8-20 pounds and stand 8-10 inches tall.

To top it all off, they have lovely, expressive faces. Their cute, whiskered cheeks certainly add to their cuddly look. Whether they inherit the fine, fluffy fur from their Ragdolls parents or their Siamese parents’ smooth, sleek fur, their coats will be soft to the touch.

Siamese Ragdoll Mix Personality and Behavior

The sweet temperament of a Ragamese kitty is a delightful mix of their Ragdoll and Siamese parents.

Picture a chatty, cuddly Siamese who loves spending every moment with her human. Be prepared for your Ragamese to playfully follow you around the house and snuggle on your lap. Ragamese kitties with more of this Siamese personality will surely adore and prefer your company.

On the other paw, the laid-back Ragdoll side brings a more relaxed vibe. Ragdolls tend to chatter less, but they’re still intelligent and playful. These gentle giants don’t necessarily need constant attention, and they’re famously patient with young kids and other pets.

Your Ragamese cutie pie may inherit either of these personalities or display a charming blend of both. Generally, these fluffy felines are sociable, clever, and lively. With proper socialization, they’ll get along with the whole family, other pets, and even strangers.

In short, some might be extra cuddly or clingy, while others could be a bit more independent.

Ragamese Care Information

All in all, the Ragamese mix is pretty low-maintenance. Pet parents should still consider a few key care requirements for these kitties, as follows:

Diet

Due to their Ragdoll side’s tendency toward obesity, it’s best to prevent weight gain from the get-go. Measure your kitty’s food to ensure they get all the nutrients they need while keeping a healthy weight. Chonky cats can have health issues, like diabetes and heart disease, which can shorten their lifespans.

Focus on cat foods that meet the American Association of Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) guidelines. That way, your furry Ragamese companion will get all the protein, vitamins, and antioxidants she needs.

Exercise

A good exercise program is a must for these cats to avoid weight issues and to stimulate those lion-like hunting instincts. Kitties usually do best when playtime is fun and short, so about 10–15 minute sessions are best. Aim for at least 30–40 minutes of exercise per day, depending on your Ragamese kitty’s level of fitness and interest.

Some Ragamese cats may have difficulty being left alone, as Siamese cats tend to suffer separation anxiety when left alone or feeling ignored. Exercise helps relieve mild feline stress and boredom. Experiment with different cat toys or puzzle toys so your fluffy friend can beat the loneliness while you’re away.

Grooming

When you pet a Ragamese cat, you’re bound to enjoy running your fingers through her soft fur. Some have a shorter coat, and others have the Ragdoll’s gorgeous, silky medium-length coat. Kitties with short fur only need to be brushed once or twice a week. If your Ragamese is long-haired, prepare for even more brushing sessions.

Like all cats, Ragamese kitties need their nails clipped to avoid ingrown claws. Vets recommend trimming their claws at least once every two weeks. Of course, ensure they have proper scratch pads to help them maintain claw health in between trims.

Also, all cats need regular dental care, including brushing their teeth at least twice a week with feline toothpaste. Have you considered dental treats? They’re a tasty way to prevent plaque. You can even add dental products to water for kitties who put up a fight against at-home tooth brushing.

Health Considerations

As you read above, managing this crossbreed’s weight is crucial to prevent health issues that stem from weight gain or obesity. But what other health considerations do Ragamese cats have?

The most common health issues are:

• Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM)
• Amyloidosis (improper protein deposits that cause organ dysfunction)
• Kidney problems
• Dental problems

As a pet parent, you must be conscious of the breeder you’re using. Ensure they’re reputable and that they’re only breeding healthy cats. They should be able to provide a run-down on your Ragamese’s health background, so you know what to expect
