The Ragdoll cat originated in the United States and is also known as the Ragdoll cat. It is the largest and heaviest breed of cat. Its ancestors were white long-haired cats. Breeding began in 1960, and it was recognized in the United States in 1965.
The exact origins of the Ragdoll cat can be traced back to the 1960s, when a woman named Ann Baker, living in California, began breeding Ragdoll cats. Her first breeding cat was named Josephine (hereinafter referred to as Josephine), a pure white mixed-breed long-haired cat. 
Originally, this cat was a wild cat, often running around near Anbeco's house. One day, it was hit by a car, and Anbeco's neighbor happened to see it and kindly rescued it, taking it home and caring for it diligently. Gradually, Jo recovered. During this time, Jo was kept indoors. Although it was originally a wild cat, it was very docile when with people. When it gave birth to another litter of kittens, Anbeco noticed Jo's kittens. Jo's previous kittens were very wild. But after being hit by the car, this litter of kittens had become exceptionally well-behaved. Anbeco felt these kittens had very special personalities, so she wanted to try breeding this type of cat.
After bringing Jo home, Amber Robbie went outside and brought back two kittens that Jo had previously had with different male cats. The stud cat Amber Robbie found was named Warbucks; it had a white nose and a white tail tip. Amber Robbie mated it with other female cats, and the resulting kittens all had a Siamese pointed coat. Later, Amber Robbie registered them as Ragdolls and promoted them in the media, which began to attract the attention of the cat community. This Ms. Amber Robbie passed away in 1997, leaving behind this Ragdoll bloodline in cat history, which gradually spread.
