Notes

Although it might be controversial to say, the RagaMuffin is essentially the Oriental to the Ragdoll’s Siamese. The two breeds are very similar in type and in origin: both were developed from Ann Baker’s “Cherubim” breed of the early 1960s. Ann Baker was a character, to say the least, and was well-known in the cat fancy for the strict control she set for breeders working with her in her exclusive International Ragdoll Cat Association. In the early 1990s, a group of breeders chose to break away from the IRCA and sought acceptance for their cats under the non-trademarked name of RagaMuffin. (The name “Ragdoll” remained trademarked until 2005.) Controversy with Ragdoll breeders remained, with the end result that RagaMuffins are forbidden from outcrossing to Ragdolls and must not come in colourpoint or colourpoint and white.

Type & Judging Remarks
The overall impression of a RagaMuffin should be one of sweetness and robust health. They are a medium to large cat with substantial boning and a full body. The large, expressive eyes strongly contribute to the overall sweet look. The only extremes in this cat are the large expressive eyes and docile nature. They are muscular with a tendency towards a fatty pad on the abdomen, but should have an overall balance, with quality and conformation given preference over size.
