Sophie, is she a RagaMuffin?
I have this wonderful cat named Sophie. I've had her since she was a kitten. Her mother, Snap, is just a barnyard cat. However her dad was a long haired white and blue (grey) cat with a huge tail. I was looking thru a cat book and i seen a picture of a cat that looked just like my Sophie and it said it was a RagaMuffin, I would like to know if she is half ragamuffin or not. Hi.... thanks for visiting and asking. The asking is relatively easy as the answering is difficult and in fact impossible. A photograph would have helped perhaps. But the truth is that it is impossible to tell whether a cat is a purebred mix unless the breed has a very well defined appearance. RagMuffins (cat fancy people like to put a capital "M" in the middle) are essentially large, medium long haired cats with a large range of coat colours and patterns. They are what I would call normal looking. What I mean is they do not have an extreme appearance as has the flat faced Persian for example or the Modern Siamese. Because of this a RagaMuffin mix or half breed RagaMuffin will look much like a medium or longhaired random bred cat. It will be all but impossible, I say, to tell the difference. Even a purebred RagaMuffin may be difficult to distinguish on appearance alone from a good looking mixed bred cat. So, in conclusion, I have to say, sorry but I can't answer your question. One last point. The RagMuffin is similar to the Ragdoll and the Ragdoll was bred from non-purebred cats. You can see how it all becomes very blurred. Sophie sounds gorgeous, though. If you have a picture, why not upload it using the same form and I will join it to this posting? Best
