A standalone lookup wiki for identifying, comparing, and pricing every major Ragdoll cat color and pattern variation — built for quick filtering, not reading front to back.
📌 Quick Reference
- All Ragdolls have blue eyes — no exceptions, per breed standard.
- Kittens are born white; full pattern develops by 8–12 weeks, final coat depth by ~2 years.
- "Point" = solid color, no white. "Bicolor" = white face V + chest + legs. "Mitted" = white paws only, no face V. "Lynx" = tabby striping. "Tortie" = patchy mixed color.
- Price scales with: coat rarity (lilac > blue tortie > lynx > blue/seal), pedigree, and health-testing rigor (HCM screening).
- Common lifespan: 12–17 years. Primary health watch: hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).

Q: Is "blue point bicolor mitted" a real pattern? No — this combination isn't standard terminology. Bicolor (white face V + legs) and mitted (white paws only) are distinct, separate patterns and don't overlap in official standards.
Q: My kitten looks all white — is something wrong? No. All Ragdoll kittens are born white; color develops starting at 1–2 weeks and isn't fully set until 8–12 weeks.
Q: Why do prices vary so much for the same color? Health testing (especially HCM screening), pedigree documentation, and breeder reputation account for most of the spread — not just coat color.
