Ragdoll
This breed, originally developed in the 1960s in California, was created from the crossing of Persian, Burmese and Birman base stock. The Ragdoll (along with another "rag-type" cat, the Ragamuffin) is fast gaining followers, who are drawn to this breed's unique looks and very sweet temperament. It is a large, semi-longhaired cat, exhibiting the pointed (Siamese) pattern. They are available in seal, blue, chocolate, and lilac point colors, either with or without white markings on the face and feet. They are not accepted in all associations. The Ragdoll is typically a large cat, but very laid-back and people-oriented.
Russian Blue
Supposedly an export of Russia, and very definitely always blue...whether it be a dark tone or silvery. The Russian Blue is a natural breed thought to have originated in northern Russia. It is noted for its short, plush, silvery blue coat, brilliant green eyes, and semi-foreign body type with long legs and body. This is a lithe and athletically-built, medium-sized cat, with large ears and usually golden-green eyes. Though curious, playful and loyal, it can be somewhat shy around strangers or in unfamiliar situations. This is a graceful, playful breed with a quiet temperament.
