History: The exact origin of ragdoll cats can be traced back to the 1960s, when a woman living in California, Ann Baker (Ann Baker), started breeding ragdoll cats. The breeding cat is called Ephine Josephine and it is an all white mixed breed longhair cat. Amber was originally a Persian cat breeder. Before she started breeding Ragdolls, most of her cats were black. After she asked Josephine from her neighbor to go home, she went outdoors to look for kittens that were born after Josephine had been paired with different male cats. Amber found two of them and caught them all. And the breeder that Amberke found, called Warbucks, has a white nose and a white tail. Amber had him mate with other female cats, and the resulting kittens all had Siamese-like accents.
