Ragdoll cats (detailed introduction)
There are many types of Ragdoll cats, and they are also very beautiful. They have won the favor of many girls. This issue of Cat Encyclopedia brings Ragdolls to everyone. Introduction to cat breeds and cat breeding knowledge
Introduction to the distribution of key colors according to patterns:
The entire face (including chin and ears), limbs, coat, and tail
>Detailed characteristics: The face and tail are darker in color, and the color of the trunk gradually becomes lighter as it spreads upward from the soles of the feet. The coat is heavily colored, the chest and belly are white, and the eyes are mostly dark blue (some are light blue).
The key color puppet has the classic Siamese cat pattern, with key points and paws, and the eyes are very bright and prominent due to the distribution of fur color, as blue as the sea.
The key-colored puppets are often nicknamed "coal diggers" because of their darker faces and limbs. Note: To make it easier for readers to distinguish, the "face" below refers to the part from the ears to the chin, and the "color point" refers solely to the color patch on the face plate around the nose (excluding ears and chin).
Face = ears + facial plate + chin.
Glove color distribution: face except chin, ears, forelimbs except front toes, coat, tail Detailed features: key color face plate, ears and tail, white chin, chest There are colored gloves on the abdomen, front toes (only the toes) and most of the hind legs, as well as on the coat and tail. Ragdoll cats seem to have just jumped into the butter bowl and ate some. They have furry white chins, white gloves (front fingers ) as well as white boots (hind legs). Like the point-colored Ragdoll cat, the glove-colored Ragdoll cat's face, ears, coat and tail are all colored, and its chest and belly are white.
On the contrary, the chin, front paws and hind legs of the glove color are white, and the color intensity of the coat is relatively lighter than the point color. Note: There is no such thing as two-color gloves or two-color gloves. These puppets are two-color gloves with color patches on the legs or gloves with excessive meteor spots. Please do not believe it!
Two-color color block distribution: a figure-eight-shaped mask with eyes that spread upward, ears, coat, and tail. Detailed features: a figure-eight-shaped mask that spreads upward from both eyes. The limbs, chest, and abdomen of a two-color puppet. The part of the dog and the inverted V on the face are all white, and there may be one or two white spots on the back.
Only their tails, ears and the parts above the V-shaped markings will show darker colors. The two-color cloth idol is a cat that jumps into a pool of cream, lowering its head to eat while leaving behind evidence of its cuteness. Ragdoll cats are currently popular, and bi-color cats are at their peak. They are the largest and most popular breed among them. Note: The official name of the two-color puppet is Point-White. Bicolor is just a common name and is not used for official purposes (such as pedigree marks on certificates, etc.).
Distribution of Sanskrit color patches: ears, upper end of face, tail, some parts of back (maybe none). Detailed features: The color patches on the ears are particularly noticeable, blue eyes (less dark blue), and there are gradient color patches below the ears and above the eyes. There are very few color patches on the back, and the color is lighter than the ears, mostly on the top of the back (this is different from high white and medium high white).
The Fan-colored ragdoll cat looks as if it is about to sink to the bottom of the pool of cream. Only the upper face, ears and tail, and very few parts of the back may be darker. Fanse has shorter hair than other puppets and has almond-shaped eyes. Strictly speaking, Fanse is a type of bicolor, except that the mask is taller than the bicolor and has fewer color blocks on the back. Among the pedigree colors of CFA Ragdoll cats, Point-WhiteVan is used to call the Van color Ragdoll, but we usually call it Van for short.
Note: There are very few Van-colored Ragdoll cats, and their bloodlines are unstable. They are easy to breed and lead to impure bloodlines, so they are easily exploited by cat dealers. Please pay more attention when purchasing.
Disqualifying Characteristics: Eye color other than blue. Pointed cats have white markings; glove cats have no white chin; bicolor cats have patches of color in their white mask, including the chin.
Divided by color
1. Seal ---- genotype (BBDD, BbDD, BBDd, BbDd)
2. Blue (Blue) ---- Genotype (BBdd, Bbdd)
3. Chocolate (Chocolate) ---- Genotype (bbDD, bbDd)
4. Lilac color (Lilac)----genotype (bbdd)
5. Flame/Red (Flame/Red)----carrying the orange gene (located on the X chromosome)
6. Cream - carries the orange gene (located on the X chromosome)
7. Smoke - this type of color once appeared in CFA Ragdoll cats It’s on the list, but because genes are complicated, I won’t explain it here. (B-Black gene, D-dilutes dilution gene; uppercase - dominant gene, lowercase - recessive gene.) Bobcats are divided according to their markings
As the name suggests, they have bobcat-like striped tabby spots, which are elegant and beautiful. Appears on the face. It is a striped type with a pattern. Tortoiseshell, also known as tortoise shell, has an asymmetrical mask (purely for two-color) or a three-color spotted pattern, which is a very unique and lovely facial feature.
