Ragamuffin vs Domestic Longhair
The check that settles it
Without the size and the heavy boning, it is a moggy.
Confirming a ragamuffin
- Any colour and pattern, and eyes of any colour — this is the split from the Ragdoll.
- A rounded head with a distinctly puffy muzzle.
- A dense rabbit-like coat that resists matting.
- Slow maturing, reaching full size at around four years.
Confirming a domestic longhair
- Long coat without the specific build of any longhaired breed.
- Moderate head and body — not the rectangular frame of a Maine Coon or the flat face of a Persian.
- Coat often seasonal, with a heavy winter ruff that thins in summer.
