An Animated Look at the Aptly Named Ragdoll Cat

Illustrator Simon Toland of Simon’s Cat Logic offers an animated look at the wonderful traits of the aptly named Ragdoll cat.

These cats are called Ragdolls, because when you pick them up they go all limp and floppy just like a real Ragdoll. Another trait of Ragdolls is that they follow you around the house, a bit like a little dog. And so they’ve earned the name puppy cats.
