The origins of the Ragdoll cat breed are quite vague and mysterious: they were first "created" by a woman named Anne Baker, in California in the 1960s. Anne mated a Persian-Angora female with Birmans and Burmese cats to achieve the distinctive markings and character which make the Ragdoll breed so unique and beautiful.

Although all cats are special, these breeds were formed because of something unique in each of them. Some are very easy to spot, a genetic mutation that marks the cat as being “different”.
