At the end of their first month, Ragdoll cats only weigh 1 pound and are 6 to 6.5 inches long. By the end of their first year, they'll be 14 to 16 inches long and weigh about 6 to 8 pounds.

Ragdoll cats are as beautiful as they are expensive. The price usually ranges from $400 to $2,500, but you can expect to pay as much as $3,000 for a show-quality feline.
