Ragdoll Cat's Light Blue Eyes: Purity, and Distinguishing Purebreds from Mixed Breeds

A Ragdoll cat with light blue eyes can still be a purebred, though it might indicate a less pure lineage. When acquiring a Ragdoll, you can assess its purity by observing the eye color, nose length, and ear shape.

Eye color is a crucial factor in determining a cat's breed. Certain breeds have specific eye colors, such as purebred Ragdolls, which must have blue eyes. The intensity of the blue can vary; generally, the clearer, deeper, and more jewel-toned the blue, the purer the lineage. If a cat's eyes are not blue, it is likely not a Ragdoll, but rather a mixed breed or a different breed altogether.

Distinguishing Purebred Ragdolls from Mixed Breeds

1. Eye Color: Purebred Ragdolls have blue eyes, and the bluer the eyes, the more pure the breed. The shape of their eyes are typically oval. Conversely, Ragdolls with non-blue eyes are likely mixed breeds or not purebred.

2. Nose Shape: Purebred Ragdolls typically have a nose that is proportional to their facial structure, with a moderate length. Ragdolls with short, flat, excessively long, or short noses are usually mixed breeds.

3. Ear Shape: In addition to eyes and nose, ear shape is also an indicator. Purebred Ragdolls have ears that are slightly tilted forward with a moderate ear width. Ears that are too pointy or too narrow usually indicate that the cat is a mixed breed.Follow us for updates:Pet Training
