With the research I did, I know it cannot be for certain with pics only as to telling whether my kitty is indeed a Ragdoll. It does not matter to me, I would just like to know whether I should say Ragdoll, or Ragdoll X. I'm curious mainly for the potential size he will be when he gets older.

The lady I adopted him from said both parents were Ragdolls, no papers.

She sent me pics of the parents: (she did not have pics with there eyes open, but said both had blue eyes)





and here's Kismet: he is 4mos old. What would you call his coloring? I know he is bi-color, but not sure on anything else.







Thanks for any input

I think without any paperwork you can only say they're likely ragdolls.
Thanks for the input.

I completely understand that without papers I could not call Kizzy a purebred ragdoll, which is fine. I just wanted to find out if he was or wasn't for size
I like the ragdolls for the larger size as well as their looks.

Now that I have an idea for what color he is, I can google it and see what he may look like as he ages

He is a seal Bi-color Ragdoll.....expect 15+ pounds when he is fully grown in 4 years. The males average 5 pounds heavier than the females. 20+ pounds is not all that uncommon if his parents were large. They grow very slow. I have seen and held a 28 pound Ragdoll at a cat show and not be fat. He was massive. Ragdolls and Maine coons are the largest domestic cats

He's got HUGE eyebrows!!!! Very cute!

My Lucky is a Ragdoll too... She is the sweetest cat I have ever had! I have a feeling she is also going to be pretty big - she is 9lbs, 9 months old, and they grown until they are 4 years old... Congratulations again on your girl. By the way: Ragdolls because they are so sweet, they are quite defenseless, and need to be inside cats... Just an FYI.

Thank you. Yup, I did my research prior to picking up Kizzy, as soon as the woman said he's a ragdoll I started researching the breed.

Personally, I wanted an indoor cat... aside from the barn cats I had as a child, my Gysmo was strictly indoors as well. Although I do hope I can harness train him, especially since he is going to be larger, I would like to see him get enough exercise.. we have a huge deck that I think he'd enjoy.

Kizzy is underweight I believe. I read here that he should be about 4lbs.... no way. He's maybe 1.5 or a little more. But not 3 or 4 lbs. Plus all I can feel is bones....along his back, his ribs, etc


Once he gets settled in and the health issues are sorted, I'm going to attempt him with a harness
