Mink Ragdoll | Mink Ragdoll Kittens

Replace July 2024:

Beginning Might 1, 2025, TICA will acknowledge mink, sepia, and forged massive semi-longhaired cats of the reasonable sort as Cherubim (CB), and not as BEP (blue eyed pointed) Ragdolls (RD).

Cherubim distinguishes them from the Ragdoll (RD), a big semi-longhair, blue-eyed pointed cat of reasonable sort.

Kristin Demko of CottonBlues Ragdolls who sits at the Ragdoll Breed Committee for the Ragdoll breed for TICA stated: “CFA and FIFE don’t check in minks, sepias, and solids as a result of Ragdolls have at all times been a blue-eyed pointed breed from the time they had been accredited as a purebred for registration. Or even in TICA, they’re a DQ and will’t be proven for legit titles and awards. So, on Might 1, 2025, the ones cats will probably be modified to their very own breed, Cherubim, and will probably be identified and legitimized as purebred and will compete for titles and awards underneath the title Cherubim. Accountable breeders imagine pedigrees and lineage when breeding and stick with a regular so we will be able to maintain the breed. With out that, we wouldn’t have a breed. Whilst it’s true that outcrossing came about to usher in positive colours like lynx, reds, torties, and in some instances the chocolate gene, you’re going to to find most of the basis cats that helped to deliver the ones colours in, no less than 20 to twenty-five years again within the pedigree. And so long as the ones colours are blue-eyed pointed cats with a authentic pedigree and bureaucracy, they meet the Ragdoll usual and are purebred Ragdolls. I am hoping folks can embody the alternate as a step in the precise path for each Ragdolls and the brand new breed Cherubim. The Cherubim have intentionally been bred in opposition to the Ragdoll usual, so now BOTH could have a regular to reproduce in opposition to so each breeds of cats will also be preserved.”

For a real show-quality Ragdoll with TICA, the pointed markings are a should.

So, what’s a Mink Ragdoll anyway?
