Cats
In addition, Josephine was less wild and
perhaps did not train her kittens to be quite so fearful of humans.
Baker decided to create a new breed, one which retained the very sociable, relaxed traits,
non-matting fur, large size and the property of going limp when handled. She acquired a
black Burmese-looking female called Buckwheat and a bicolour female called Fugianna.
Fugianna's sire was another of Josephine's kittens, a seal-point Birman-type cat called Daddy
Warbucks. There were to be no more founding cats since Josephine and her next litter were
destroyed by their owner. Based on the appearance of the two founding females, Baker split
their progeny into two groups: Fugianna's kittens were termed "the Light Side"; Buckwheat's
kittens were termed "the Dark Side".
Ann Baker formulated a strict breeding policy to preserve the purity of the Ragdoll and
charged other breeders (franchisees) a royalty fee for every kitten they sold. She also made
