Breed with Love and Passion
Ragdoll cats are known for their gentle, affectionate, and laid-back temperament. These loving felines have a unique characteristic of going limp in your arms and acting like a ragdoll when held or cuddled. They are very tolerant of other animals and particularly children, making them an ideal pet for families.
Unlike some breeds that play rough, Ragdolls are gentle and rarely extend their claws. They thrive on human companionship and are known for their puppy-like behavior. They will run to greet you at the door, follow you around the house, and even choose to sleep with you at night.
Ragdolls have a special affinity for their humans and are more interested in spending time with them than most other breeds. If you're looking for a friendly, affectionate, and loyal companion, a Ragdoll may be the perfect match for you.
RedEcho Family Character
While Ragdolls generally share the temperament described above, within our Redecho family—and based on our breeding experience—we group personalities into two broad types.
​
The first type is super friendly and people-loving. They bond with everyone right away and tend to be clingy from the start. The second type builds their bond with their owner gradually. It takes a little time, but once that connection forms, it becomes very close and special.
The difference we notice is this: the first type isn’t as “cautious” or aware of danger and boundaries. The upside is they stay close to people; the downside is they’re equally friendly with everyone, so they may not treat their owner as the “one and only.” The second type is actually more discerning—they recognize unfamiliar environments and potential risks, so they won’t approach strangers immediately. But once they know someone is safe and truly family, they become deeply attached and dependent.
​
Queens like Momoka, Momoki, Annie, Nezuko, and Somi mostly produce kittens of the second personality type.Since temperament is also hereditary, their kittens can show both types of personalities. There also a big chance that kittens from them turns out more like the “first type,” that usually comes from inheriting the father’s traits. If the kitten is the “second type,” that’s typically from the mother’s side.
Queens like Aurora, Coco, and Canada usually produce kittens of the first type. Since our kings all share a similar temperament (closer to the first type), the main differences come from the queens.
​
So you can choose which breeding plan to join based on the personality type and appearance you prefer—both temperament and looks are heritable. Take your time; when you submit an application or email us, please describe the kind of kitten you like and which litter(s) you’d like to join the waitlist for.
During their first 1-2 months
kittens must continue to feed on their mother's milk. It's crucial for their survival and development. Weaning typically occurs after one and a half months, during which time the mother cat not only provides nourishment but also teaches the kitten important life skills.
The first lesson is learning how to communicate with the outside world, crawl, run, and explore their surroundings. At this stage, the kitten's five senses gradually fully develop, and their curiosity becomes stronger. Without the mother cat's care, kittens can become vulnerable to death, loneliness, and bad habits that can affect their basic living habits.
As humans, we should convince ourselves and others that even if the kitten is weaned, we shouldn't take them away from their mother. It's important to let the mother cat continue to guide and teach them until they are ready to be independent.
​
Between 2 to 4 months
kittens still have a lot to learn from their mother. They need to learn how to hunt, play, and communicate effectively. For instance, if they chew too much, the mother cat will correct their behavior. Kittens who are left to entertain themselves at this stage may develop bad habits that can cause problems for humans and hinder their ability to communicate with other cats.
If the kitten is an orphan, it should be fostered by a sow with good behavior and a willingness to accept it. By learning from the acting mother, the kitten can still develop the necessary skills to thrive.
