The RagaMuffin founders agreed that health and personality would
always be the utmost in importance and would never be sacrificed for
beauty and form. They named their new creation RagaMuffins in keeping
with its origins from the homeless street cats and as a Rag type cat.
For a link to the history of the RagaMuffin written by Janet, one of the
original founding members, go to ragamuffins ragamuffins ragamuffins,

Muffins are not highly vocal or energetic cats, but they are
playful and affectionate. They are still individuals..with
slight variations in their nature They will follow you from
room to room like a puppy. They enjoy good health and
fortunately, unlike many other breeds, are not susceptible to
any particular known health conditions. They tend to be
“soft pawed” which means they seldom use their claws.
They are sweet, charming, good-natured and floppy too!
Having been breed to have such a docile, trusting nature, the RagaMuffin thinks everyone should
be his/her friend. Because of this nature they do not possess normal instincts with which to defend
themselves. Like all be loved cats they should live their lives strictly indoors and away from harm.
Muffins are very content with an indoor life-style.
RagaMuffins are a slow growing cat, not reaching full maturity or
growth until 3 to 4 years of age. They have a large, heavily muscular
frame. Females weigh from 10 to 15 pounds and the males 15 to 20+.
Some reach upwards of 30 pounds. Muffins have a fatty pad (greater
omentum) on their lower abdomen. For this reason they love their bellies
rubbed unlike most other cats. They have medium to medium long coat
of silky mat-resistant fur. RagaMuffins come in a rainbow of colors and patterns all of which are
acceptable. All eye colors are possible including odd eyes.
RagaMuffin kittens are among the most charming creatures on earth, and
Muffin mothers and fathers are devoted care-givers and playmates. Go to www.ragamuffingroup.com, for the standards of the RagaMuffin.
