Cats
not being accepted by other registries, were merged and renamed RagaMuffins and registered
under that name. Although bred with the Ragdoll to begin with, the modern RagaMuffin has a
shorter nose with an obvious nose dip, and the eyes are walnut-shaped rather than oval.
RagaMuffin breeders have worked to produce a rounded, more heavily boned cat by
outcrossing to Persians/Himalayans and have used domestic longhairs to give the breed a
sound genetic footing. The plushy coat is shorter and thicker than the Ragdoll's medium-long,
silky coat. Some registries only recognise non-pointed RagaMuffins (feeling pointed varieties
are to similar to Ragdolls), others also recognise the pointed varieties.
Honey Bears had been bred from a pair of Persian cats and could be regidtered as Persians
with the CFA. Ann Baker claimed skunk genes were infused into the female and her kittens
then resembled young skunks, being born silver before turning black with stripes along the
