And that cats can never show as much affection as dogs can. But, we&rsquo;re sure a Maine Coon Ragdoll mix can change their mind! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&rsquo;s the thing, these assumptions probably stem from the fact that <em>some<\/em> fluffers don&rsquo;t seem to enjoy the company of humans. On more than one occasion, they scratch and bite anybody who dares touch them for more than three seconds (we counted). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, it proves that cats care enough to go above and beyond to get humans to spend every moment of the day with them. Cats might appear a little mean and unapproachable. But when you find the right cat for you, you won&rsquo;t have a single doubt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, they can even learn how to walk on a leash, do a bunch of different tricks, and play fetch. I know, right? That pretty much means they&rsquo;re better than any dog out there (great for fending off haters, don&rsquo;t you think?) To be honest, there&rsquo;s a lot more to these mischievous monsters than meets the eye. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, we&rsquo;re here to help you discover everything you need to know before you start looking for Maine Coon Ragdoll Mix breeders in your area. Or, before you agree to take care of your boyfriend&rsquo;s little Ragcoon kitten for a couple of days and conveniently &ldquo;forget&rdquo; to bring her back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-what-does-maine-coon-ragdoll-mix-look-like\">1.

With Maine Coons weighing anywhere from 8 to 18 pounds and Ragdolls from 10 to 20 pounds, Ragcoons almost always fall in between. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, you can expect them to weigh anywhere from 15 to 20 pounds (and to grow anywhere from 6 to 16 inches tall). Quite hefty, aren&rsquo;t they!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also can&rsquo;t forget about the color combinations and patterns of the ample fluff they possess. Considering that both Maine Coons and Ragdolls fashion a bunch of different outfits, we can&rsquo;t expect anything other than a New York Fashion Week from this crossover breed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, that means that Ragcoon can be anything from solid black, white, red, blue, and cream, to tabby, tortoiseshell, and mackerel. Then come the dilute shades like lilac, seal, and cinnamon, depending on the predominant genes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, as for the eyes, Ragcoons can sport different shades of blue, green, amber, orange, and gold. But, you never know what you&rsquo;re going to get when you&rsquo;re combining two breeds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-naughty-or-nice-what-s-their-purrsonality-like\">2.

We&rsquo;re not exaggerating when we say that these Moggies are the embodiment of the &ldquo;best of both worlds.&rdquo; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ragcoons are as affectionate, appreciative, and adorable as people report them to be. Not only are they even-tempered and patient with annoying dogs and aggressive cats, but they&rsquo;re also chummy with most creatures. And they crave human attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Maine Coons aren&rsquo;t &ldquo;lap cats,&rdquo; Ragdolls are (remember, they&rsquo;re literally known for turning floppy the moment you pick them up). Maine Coon Ragdoll crossover cats can go either way, even though everyone argues they aren&rsquo;t likely to become ragdolls when you cuddle them or carry them around like babies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, you never know what you&rsquo;re getting when you&rsquo;re mixing two breeds together. But, that&rsquo;s not necessarily the case with Maine Coons and Ragdolls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Actually, the two of America&rsquo;s favorite breeds are pretty much the same when it comes to temperament and purrsonality: They&rsquo;re both loving, caring, and friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-what-about-the-grooming-routine-of-a-maine-coon-ragdoll-mix\">3.

Trust me, the long, luscious coat doesn&rsquo;t come without a price. And the price might become even bigger when you figure out you&rsquo;re better off asking a professional groomer for help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are kidding about <em>having <\/em>to go to a professional groomer. But, we&rsquo;re not kidding about the amount of work you should expect when planning on getting your hands on one of these frisky felines. Maine Coon Ragdoll Mix kitties <em>do<\/em> require grooming, brushing, and bathing aplenty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What do we mean by that? Ragcoons need regular brushing (meaning EACH day) to ensure the fluffy fur doesn&rsquo;t get matted. Detangling matted fluff can be a nightmare, which means you cannot afford to be frugal with your grooming methods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ragcoons also need regular bathing to ensure they don&rsquo;t appear greasy and stringy. And while you&rsquo;re doing everything you can to keep them clean, don&rsquo;t forget to check some of those <em>&ldquo;hard to reach&rdquo;<\/em> areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to remove mats, tangles, bugs, and other things that might get stuck somewhere she can&rsquo;t reach to clean on her own. Monthly professional pampering, on the other hand, can help you keep her clean and neat for longer. Worth the bill, to be honest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-what-do-maine-coon-ragdolls-need-for-a-happy-and-healthy-life\">4.

They need a family who&rsquo;ll take care of them, spend quality time with them every single day, and play with them for hours and hours without growing tired (of them). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, they need someone who&rsquo;ll make them a priority, because that&rsquo;s the treatment they deserve, of course. Ragcoons adore anyone willing to share every aspect of their day-to-day life with them (even the aspects that might seem boring). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They&rsquo;re not fans of &ldquo;alone time.&rdquo; They become stressed out and anxious when left alone for long periods of time. They don&rsquo;t shy away from following you everywhere you go or waiting outside your bedroom door for you to wake up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, they appear pretty high-maintenance when they&rsquo;re adopted by someone who travels a lot, spends a lot of time out of the house, and doesn&rsquo;t have the energy to care for them. But, there&rsquo;s always the option of getting them a little friend to play with while you&rsquo;re away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maine Coon Ragdolls need physical activity, too. Sure, they&rsquo;re not as active as some other breeds (take Bengal cats, for instance). However, they appreciate running around your backyard, chasing after butterflies, and knocking things down. Providing them with a bunch of cat trees and toys can save the day, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-what-health-issues-can-you-expect-with-a-maine-coon-ragdoll-mix\">5.

Therefore, when it comes to health problems Ragcoons might experience down the line, we can&rsquo;t overlook a couple of common conditions. It might even change the way you would care for them &ndash; to ensure optimum health, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, a Maine Coon Ragdoll Mix seems to be a healthy breed with an average long lifespan of 12 to 15 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there are a bunch of factors that affect the longevity of your cat&rsquo;s life: nutrition, physical activity, environment, medical care, and genetics. And, there are a couple of conditions that seem to trace back to these Moggies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First things first, Ragcoons seem to be prone to diseases such as <strong>hip dysplasia <\/strong>because they&rsquo;re large and heavy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These problems occur when your cat&rsquo;s hips don&rsquo;t line up properly, causing them to wear and tear against each other (the bones of the hips, not the hips themselves). And, these problems can become even worse when your cat becomes overweight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ragcoons are also susceptible to polycystic kidneys, a hereditary condition that causes cysts to form on a kitten&rsquo;s kidneys before it even enters the world. While some Coons might not be bothered by the condition, others might experience severe kidney damage and even kidney failure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, with proper nutrition, physical activity, and veterinarian checkups, your Coon cat shouldn&rsquo;t feel under the weather <em>that <\/em>often.

But, what exactly are the nutritional needs of a Maine Coon Ragdoll Mix? Does she require a special diet or does she munch on the same (boring) Fancy Feast as other cats? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&rsquo;t worry, these fluffballs aren&rsquo;t <em>that <\/em>different from others. Ragcoon (same as other cats) are carnivores which means they require predominantly meat, animal protein, and animal-sourced nutrients to survive and thrive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They don&rsquo;t require fruits, veggies, or whole grains the same way humans do. They don&rsquo;t even possess the enzymes necessary to break down and process most foods humans eat on a regular basis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, that means you should turn a blind eye when your Ragcoon tries to make you share your chicken nuggets by meowing your ears off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you don&rsquo;t have to worry about providing your Coon with everything that&rsquo;s good for her. Most commercially available cat foods and cat treats contain the nutrients she needs to be happy and healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-how-do-you-get-your-hands-on-a-maine-coon-ragdoll\">7.

Or perhaps you come across a 2-for-1 discount at the breeder&rsquo;s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, other than these (super believable) scenarios, you can always turn to regular ways of getting your hands on a Ragcoon kitten. Sure, there aren&rsquo;t that many breeders that focus on Maine Coon Ragdolls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, that shouldn&rsquo;t stop you from getting what you want &ndash; especially if the money isn&rsquo;t a factor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though that might sound strange, prices can be very, very different depending on the breeder, the age of the cat, and a bunch of other factors. But, talking averages, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $1,000 for a Ragcoon kitten. And, that&rsquo;s pretty cheap when compared to purebreds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-maine-coon-ragdoll-mix-as-a-pet-yes-or-no\">8.
