I collect greeting cards that feature my favorite breed of cat, the Ragdoll. During the past few years I seem to have maxed out what I can find locally and would like to expand my search worldwide. I am willing to pay the retail cost of the card, shipping (to the US) and a $2.00 bonus to anyone who finds a card that I do not already have. (My current collection can be found in the Links section to the left).
Please note that I may require a scan/photograph of the card before it is shipped and am not under any obligations to purchase, especially if the card features something nasty or obscene.
Greeting cards are commonly found in card shoppes, specialty gift shoppes, souvenier shoppes/highway rest stops, grocery stores, and even places like thrift stores. I am more than happy to purchase used cards and they do not have to be in perfect condition.
Since not all gorgeous cats are Ragdoll cats, I have put together a short "Guide to Rags" below so you know what to look for. Even if you don't want to keep an eye out for cards, at least you can learn a little about the breed...and watch out, you may fall in love!
What Is Ragdoll Cat?
Ragdoll Characteristics
- Extremely large, fluffy, LONG-HAIRED cats
- BLUE eyes (never any other color), almond-shaped
- Large, rounded paws
- Long legs
- Thick, stocky bodies
- Broad chests
- Silky, “rabbit-like” fur
- Commonly photographed for advertisements (pet food bags, magazine ads, etc.) because of their beauty!
Ragdoll Colors
Dark chocolaty brown that sometimes looks nearly black.
Steel gray, varies from barely visible to very dark.
Light, creamy orange!
Ragdoll Patterns
As seen above, colorpoints can have solid-colored or white paws.
This white "blaze" is not uncommon.
2) BI-COLOR: a "bi-color" is a COLORPOINT with a distinct large triangular white mark on the face which can be very wide or very slim, sometimes extending to beyond the eyes and sometimes ending between the eyes.
Unlike colorpoints, bi-colors always have white legs and a colored saddle on their back.
