Siamese vs Ragdoll
The check that settles it
Ragdolls are pointed and blue-eyed too, but they are large, semi-longhaired and heavily built. A Siamese is small and svelte.
Confirming a siamese
- Colourpoints — dark face mask, ears, legs and tail against a pale body.
- Deep blue eyes. Always, in every Siamese.
- A long wedge head with very large ears continuing the triangle.
- Fine-boned, tubular body with a long whippy tail.
Confirming a ragdoll
- Blue eyes, always, combined with a large heavy body.
- A silky semi-long coat with little undercoat, so it mats less than it looks like it should.
- Pointed pattern, often with white mittens or an inverted white V on the face.
- Slow to mature — full size and colour at three to four years.
