The Ragamuffin Cat was bred from the Ragdoll cat family. In 1994
Ragamuffin breeders requested to form a seperate breed from the
Ragdoll breed,which they were permitted to do.

Josephine, the original Rag-type cat.

available. Solids, Tabbies, Torties, Lynx, Mink, as well as
blue-eyed pointed varieties.

it is low-maintenance compared to that of other longhaired breeds.
They also tend to be soft-pawed, meaning that they almost never put
out their claws.
