History
Ragdoll Net's Cattery began breeding cats in 1985. It began its adventure in cats with the Siamese breed. Over the years, notable cats from our cattery were Hanah, Coco, Niki, Aries, Lila, and Andromeda "Andy". Siamese were a fun and active breed and many kittens were placed into good homes. The goals with the Siamese were to produce a healthy, large-bodied, rabbit-furred, good-tempered cat. Over the years good success was had in reaching these goals. One goal that eluded that effort was producing a queen who behaved well with new feline house mates.
After years playing Siamese referee, in 1990, our neighbor Mike purchased a pet Ragdoll named "Rufus" and we enjoyed the sweet nature of this breed of cat.
Upon seeing this excellent ragdoll behavior, a switch was made to breed Ragdoll cats.
