They are characterized by their gentle temperament and tendency to go limp when picked up, which is how they got their name. Ragdolls are typically friendly and sociable, making them great companions for families and individuals alike. This breed was developed in the 1960s in California by a breeder named Ann Baker. Ragdolls are known for their playful nature and can often be found following their owners around the house. They require regular grooming to maintain their beautiful coats and are generally healthy, with a lifespan of around 12 to 15 years.
