The origin: a relatively new breed from California<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Ragamuffin is still a fairly new breed. Only in 1994 it was decided in California to breed this breed actively. The breed originated as a new development from the better-known Ragdoll. The Ragamuffin shows comparisons with the Ragdoll but is not identical to it. The difference is mainly in the body type and the diversity in colours. The exact development of this breed is unfortunately not completely known. So, it is quite a mystery how the breeders came to this beautiful end result. Breeding the Ragamuffin is also quite difficult and there are strict rules around breeding, which makes this cat quite rare.<\/p>\n

In 2003 the variety was officially recognized by the Cat Fanciers’ Association (CFA). Nowadays the Ragamuffin is also recognized by other associations, but not yet by the CCA and the TICA.<\/p>\n
