In CFA\u2019s account, Josephine is described as the foundation cat and a carrier of the <strong>colorpoint gene<\/strong>, which aligns with the pointed pattern seen in Ragdolls today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Early breeding records frequently highlight a small group of cats that became the breed\u2019s core lines\u2014especially <strong>Daddy Warbucks, Fugianna, and Buckwheat<\/strong>\u2014from which modern Ragdolls are widely reported to descend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One early milestone often cited is the <strong>first Ragdolls being registered with the National Cat Fanciers\u2019 Association (NCFA) on December 30, 1966<\/strong>incluyendo <strong>Daddy Warbucks<\/strong> y <strong>Fugianna<\/strong> among the first registered cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the breed gained attention, Baker selected and crossed domestic longhairs for the temperament and look she wanted, gradually shaping what became the modern Ragdoll. CFA notes that Baker also linked the breed name to reports that Josephine was so placid she would \u201cgo limp\u201d when held\u2014an origin detail that remains part of Ragdoll lore even if not universal in today\u2019s cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When interest in the breed expanded, Baker created the <strong>International Ragdoll Cat Association (IRCA)<\/strong> en <strong>1971<\/strong>, aiming to keep tight control over breeding and registration. Over time, some early breeders chose to pursue broader recognition through more traditional cat associations and independent clubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Historical accounts also note that <strong>Denny y Laura Dayton<\/strong> purchased early breeding cats from Baker (often dated to <strong>1969<\/strong>) and later played a key role in organizing breed clubs and publications that helped standardize and promote Ragdolls more widely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In major cat-fancy recognition milestones, CFA reports that Ragdolls were <strong>accepted for registration in 1993<\/strong> and advanced to <strong>championship status in 2000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1321\" height=\"734\" src=\"https:\/\/snugglesouls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1960s-Riverside-vibe.webp\" alt=\"1960s Riverside vibe\" class=\"wp-image-5489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/snugglesouls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1960s-Riverside-vibe.webp 1321w, https:\/\/snugglesouls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1960s-Riverside-vibe-768x427.webp 768w, https:\/\/snugglesouls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1960s-Riverside-vibe-18x10.webp 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1321px) 100vw, 1321px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"physical-characteristics\">Physical Characteristics (Size, Build, Coat, Color)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>En <strong>Gato ragdoll<\/strong> es un <strong>large, heavy-boned breed<\/strong> with a long, muscular body and an overall \u201csubdued power\u201d look rather than an extreme, exaggerated type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Size &amp; weight (adult):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Varones:<\/strong> commonly <strong>15\u201320 lb (6.5\u20139 kg)<\/strong>, and it\u2019s not unusual for some mature males to reach <strong>20+ lb<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mujeres:<\/strong> typically <strong>10\u201315 lb (4.5\u20136.5 kg)<\/strong> and are noticeably smaller than males.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Slow maturation (a hallmark of the breed):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ragdoll is <strong>slow-maturing<\/strong> and may not reach full size and weight until <strong>around 4 years<\/strong>.
