They come in a variety of shades and color patterns, but today we&rsquo;re here to talk about the real diva of the feline world &ndash; the Mink Ragdoll. Oh, she&rsquo;ll win your heart over in no time, I&rsquo;m sure of it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re on a hunt for a calm, affectionate, and laid-back cat who&rsquo;s all about love and snuggles, look no further than the Mink Ragdoll. Seriously, she&rsquo;ll make all of your cozy dreams come true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although many confuse these kitties with Sepia Ragdolls, there are some differences between them. For one, Minks have darker and thicker coats, which is how they got their names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But these beautiful fluffs are more than just a pretty face. They have a temperament that will make you fall head over heels for them. I&rsquo;d go on and on about how loving and caring they are, but let&rsquo;s not get ahead of ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re interested in blessing your life with this exquisite feline, I couldn&rsquo;t be more excited for you. The least I can do is prepare you for the day you meet, so let&rsquo;s learn more about the Mink Ragdoll together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a Mink Ragdoll cat?<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"671\" src=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-4.jpg\" alt=\"The Magnificent Mink Ragdoll: Your Purrfect Feline Friend\" class=\"wp-image-43177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-4.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-4-640x429.jpg 640w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-4-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-4-960x644.jpg 960w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-4-150x101.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"671\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201000%20671'%3E%3Crect%20width='1000'%20height='671'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"The Magnificent Mink Ragdoll: Your Purrfect Feline Friend\" class=\"wp-image-43177 eager-load\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-4.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-4.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-4.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-4-640x429.jpg 640w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-4-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-4-960x644.jpg 960w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-4-150x101.jpg 150w\" data-svg=\"1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Mink Ragdoll kitties aren&rsquo;t a joke. They&rsquo;re the descendants of some seriously old-school Ragdoll bloodlines. Did you know that they&rsquo;re considered purebred Ragdolls, and can even be registered with TICA (The International Cat Association)? Yep, they&rsquo;re that big of a deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, of course, they aren&rsquo;t a completely separate breed. Okay, this may sound confusing, and I totally get that. You see, within the Ragdoll breed, there are two main bloodlines (or types) that breeders mostly focus on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We all know the classic traditional Ragdoll. It&rsquo;s super common and popular, and we absolutely adore her. However, traditional and Mink Ragdolls differ in their fur type and coloring. That&rsquo;s pretty much it. The only thing they don&rsquo;t have in common is the way they look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They share everything else that we love so much, from their loving and soft temperament to their care needs. Mink Ragdolls are pretty much like any other type of Ragdoll cat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you&rsquo;re into this breed and you think it may be a perfect fit for your family, then a Mink Ragdoll could be a great choice for you. Not only is she blessed with the beautiful cattitude of a classic Ragdoll, but she&rsquo;s also breathtakingly beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does a Mink Ragdoll look like?<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"738\" src=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-3-640x472.jpg 640w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-3-768x567.jpg 768w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-3-960x708.jpg 960w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-3-150x111.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"738\" src=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43178 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-3-640x472.jpg 640w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-3-768x567.jpg 768w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-3-960x708.jpg 960w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-3-150x111.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-3.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Mink Ragdoll is the epitome of feline beauty and irresistible charm. They have a unique appearance that makes heads turn, that&rsquo;s for sure! Their coats are out of this world &ndash; silky, plush, and oh-so-soft. It&rsquo;s the closest you&rsquo;ll get to touching a cloud!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to their coloring, Mink Ragdolls are a sight to behold. They come in a variety of gorgeous shades &ndash; you simply can&rsquo;t pick a favorite! You may see them in stunning colors like chocolate, seal, lilac, and even blue. With the slight sheen of their coat, they&rsquo;re the most elegant felines you&rsquo;ll meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What may take your breath away, though, is their stunning eye color. Mink Ragdolls have eyes that could enchant anyone who gazes into them. It&rsquo;s like pure magic. They come in a range of amazing shades, including dazzling blue, mesmerizing green, and deep aqua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With their soft fur and sparkling jewels for eyes, these kitties steal hearts left and right &ndash; and they know it! They&rsquo;ve got a dose of elegance to them that you can&rsquo;t help but admire. They&rsquo;re gracefully built, with a strong and muscular body that radiates style and grace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They&rsquo;re neither too big nor too small, their size is just right. Because of that, they&rsquo;d be a great addition to your home if you live in an apartment. Just imagine one strutting around your hallway!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are they born white?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that traditional Ragdoll cats are born white? Yup, they come into this world all white and as they grow, their colors develop. How cool is that? They start off as beautiful fluffy snowballs and you get to watch them reveal their beautiful patterns and shades!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mink Ragdoll kittens, however, are a bit different. In fact, this may be one of the main differences between them and their traditional cousins. While the traditional Ragdoll&rsquo;s coat goes through quite a transformation, Minks are more subdued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional kitties put on a fashion show over the years. It&rsquo;s like watching a beautiful painting come to life. Mink Ragdolls, on the other hand, aren&rsquo;t as patient. They&rsquo;re not born fully white, and their coats experience a more subtle shift in color as they mature. It&rsquo;s definitely not as dramatic as the traditional Ragdoll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The purrsonality of a Mink Ragdoll<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-2.jpg\" alt=\"The Magnificent Mink Ragdoll: Your Purrfect Feline Friend\" class=\"wp-image-43179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-2-640x426.jpg 640w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-2-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-2-960x639.jpg 960w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-2-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-2.jpg\" alt=\"The Magnificent Mink Ragdoll: Your Purrfect Feline Friend\" class=\"wp-image-43179 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-2-640x426.jpg 640w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-2-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-2-960x639.jpg 960w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-2-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Magnificent-Mink-Ragdoll-Your-Purrfect-Feline-Friend-2.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you don&rsquo;t fall in love with the way Mink Ragdolls look, you&rsquo;ll definitely fall in love with their personality. These beautiful feline companions have a charm that&rsquo;s hard to resist &ndash; and why would you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mink Ragdoll cats, like any other type of Ragdoll, are known for their sweet and affectionate nature. They have the power to melt hearts with their gentle demeanor and loving souls.

Don&rsquo;t be surprised if you notice your furball wants to spend hours nestled in your lap. She&rsquo;ll gladly nap and purr the day away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They&rsquo;re quite the social butterflies, too. They&rsquo;re usually super outgoing and friendly, always ready to meet new people and make friends. Ragdolls really know how to charm everyone in the room, and they have the power to bring smiles to everyone&rsquo;s face. It&rsquo;s hard not to bond with them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, they&rsquo;re not all about snuggling and napping all day long. Oh, no, no. These fluffs also have a pretty playful side. They love interactive games and toys that engage their intelligent little minds. Expect your Mink Ragdoll to bring plenty of joy and laughter into your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re looking for the purrfect dose of elegance, love, affection, sociability, and playfulness, then Ragdoll is the fluff for you.

Luckily, they&rsquo;re super intelligent, so you won&rsquo;t have to spend too much time training them. Let&rsquo;s see how to take care of your furball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

Because of their semi-long hair, they require regular brushing to keep their coat in great shape. Set aside some time for grooming sessions at least a few times a week. It will prevent tangles and matting, and it&rsquo;s a great bonding opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Invest in a high-quality brush that&rsquo;s suitable for long-haired breeds. Gently brush through her fur, and be extra careful when you&rsquo;re working with knots and tangles. The key is to be gentle and maintain your kitty&rsquo;s trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although they have a rich coat, they&rsquo;re not heavy shedders, which I&rsquo;m sure you&rsquo;re glad to hear. Regular brushing will help to keep the shedding at a minimum and reduce the amount of hair around the home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Training<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mink Ragdolls are generally really easy to train. We&rsquo;re not talking just litter training here &ndash; you can even try teaching your furbaby some fun tricks! You&rsquo;d be surprised to see what a quick study she really is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key to successful training is keeping your sessions short and sweet. Keep her focus by breaking the training up into manageable chunks, and watch the magic happen. Always use positive reinforcement, and shower your kitty with praise, love, and treats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She&rsquo;ll absolutely love it and it will keep her motivated and eager to show you more. Since Ragdolls aren&rsquo;t the most active cats around, you need to keep your fluffs engaged and moving. Although she&rsquo;ll want to sleep the day away, that&rsquo;s definitely not good for her health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

Just like any other breed, they have their own set of potential health concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, Ragdolls have a higher risk of developing certain heart conditions, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which causes the heart muscles to thicken. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They&rsquo;re also more prone to kidney failure and polycystic kidney disease. It occurs when the kidney becomes damaged, and symptoms can include increased water intake and frequent urination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, lastly, since Ragdolls are big couch potatoes, they&rsquo;re prone to feline obesity. Less physical activity can lead to weight gain, which is something you definitely want to avoid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have yet to meet a person who can resist these adorable furballs with a heart of gold.
