The mask of a Ragdoll cat refers to the pattern on their face. The pattern on the Ragdoll cat’s face is like a V-shaped mask. Many people also have a misunderstanding about Ragdolls, which is that the more symmetrical the mask, the better the appearance. , in fact, whether the mask is symmetrical or not is the least important aspect of the puppet quality.
A good ragdoll cat has its bones, body shape, hair volume and face. The structure should be excellent. This breed pursues the coordination and beauty of the overall structure. Even if the mask is not symmetrical enough, but the overall structure is excellent, it is still a good competition grade. On the other hand, even if the mask is symmetrical, The structure is poor and it can only be pet grade.
So the cloth The asymmetry of the mask on the cat's face is not a disqualification. Many breeders say that the term "full ears and full back" is a backyard coinage. In fact, whether it is a competition or anything else, it is basically not "only" focused on this. For the scoring project, the competition will not focus on coat color, but also on bones, etc. If you are interested, you can look for the TICA CFA Ragdoll Cat Champions over the years. The masks on the faces of many champion cats are asymmetrical. They may be just one cat. It’s not that aesthetically pleasing, but it definitely doesn’t affect the quality of a Ragdoll cat.
