A week later, the kitten's face, ears, and tail begin to change in color, showing its own genetic color. The coat will not stabilize until the age of 2, and it will not be stable until the age of 3-4.

Only after coming out of the mother, in the process of growth, will the key color gene pattern (color) gradually appear. The color contrast of body color and color point area begins to change when cats with color point genes are kittens or young adults. Simply put, the point color ragdoll is when the temperature is agreed, the darker the coat, and the whiter the temperature is. Such as seal and blue, it takes a year or two or even years before the body color becomes very heavy.
