MO Muffins is located south of Kansas City, MO.  We
are members of the
ACFA and members of the RagaMuffin
Associated Group (RAG). "The Parent Club of the Original
RagaMuffin".  We are a small cattery. We follow the RAG
Code of Ethics in our breeding for Health and Purr-sonality
for our cats and kittens.  Our RagaMuffins are raised
underfoot in a loving home.  This home also includes 2
children, two dogs, and two house-cats.

    We have selectively chosen our RagaMuffins for their  
amazing disposition as our goal to pass that on to their
kittens. Our goal is not to produce a big quantity of kittens,
rather a few, very quality kittens.

    I am very selective on where the Kittens are placed.
Kittens do not leave the cattery prior to 14-16 weeks of age
and a contract is required for adoption. I do not agree on
de-clawing RagaMuffins. They do not use their claws in the
same way most cats do. They tend to be "soft-pawed" which
means they use their claws less frequently when playing.  
We get them accustomed to clipping their claws and using
scratching posts shortly after birth.

     RagaMuffins are extremely love-able lap-cats.  They
have an extremely soft, low-maintenance coat that comes in
a large variety of colors.  The RagaMuffin is selectively bred
for its extremely docile nature and sweet disposition.  
RagaMuffins can grow to 20lbs which makes them one of
the largest domestic breeds.
     The RagaMuffin is a very unique, one of a kind cat. A
"Teddy bear" of a cat, the RagaMuffin goes limp when held.  
RagaMuffins crave the attention of their owners. They'll do
almost anything for a tummy scratch, or to cuddle on your
lap.  They get along great with children and other
household pets.  

     In fact, RagaMuffins are known for their "dog-like"
personality. They have to be in the same room with you,
and will always be one step behind you, and waiting at the
door for you.  They love to be brushed and have their bellies
rubbed.

     Females are usually around 8-15 lbs. Males on the
other hand, can easily tip the scales over 20lbs.  They have
a larger skeletal frame than most cats, which enables them
to carry their weight gracefully.  RagaMuffins mature fully
between 3-4 years of age.  Although, they always have their
"kitten-like" personalities.

     The coat of the RagaMuffin is a medium to long, full
coat that is compared to as "rabbit fur."  Their coats are
very low maintenance and does not mat up. Fur is slightly
longer around the neck and outer edges of the face,
resulting in the appearance of a "ruff".    

     RagaMuffins have an amazing personality. They are
extremely docile and love-able. They are adaptable to all
pets and are amazing with children.  When in search for a
RagaMuffin, always remember they are known first and
foremost for their disposition.

     They come in huge variety of colors such as seals,
chocolate, blue, lilac, lynx, mink, black, flame, silver,
shaded, smoke, cameo, cream, and red.  Their patterns
range from Color point, lynx point, Bi-color, mitted, solid,
tabby, tortie, and calico, all with or without white.

     Next to the wonderful disposition, important
characteristics include, large size, stocky build, broad
head, and rabbit-like, mat resistant fur.  
As the RagaMuffin matures the head broadens to a
modified wedge with a rounded appearance. The muzzle is
round.  There is a puffiness to the whisker pad, which
results in the "sweet look" known in the RagaMuffin.  The
nose has a dip giving the impression of a scoop. Their eyes
are large, walnut shaped and expressive, the eyes
contribute to the "sweet look."

     Eye colors include Blue eyes (Color Points), Green, Blue
Green, Turquoise, and Odd Eyes (Mink & Solids).  Their
tails are long, and in proportion with the body. The tail is
fully furred, and similar to a bottle brush shape.

     The RagaMuffin is recognized for Championship
competition in the AACE,
ACFA, CFF, AND UFO. The
RagaMuffin is accepted as a Miscellaneous breed in the
CFA.

     The history of the RagaMuffin is still cloudy. We do
know the breed originated in the early 60's in Riverside, CA.
 The distinguishing characteristics of these breeds were
their exceptionally docile, sweet temperaments, large size,
"mushiness", and easy care coats.  In late 1993, they were
recognized as the "RagaMuffin" by the
ACFA.  They were
accepted to show as "Championship Class" in May of 2001.

please visit the
History Page.

  Since the RagaMuffins recent growth in popularity, many
people are trying to jump on the band wagon and are
selling kittens they call RagaMuffins.  These kittens are
usually Ragdoll crosses and are not RagaMuffins.  
Unfortunately, one registry is registering these kittens as
RagaMuffins.  The only way to get a RagaMuffin from a
Ragdoll parent is if the other parent is a RagaMuffin!  To be
sure you are purchasing a true purebred RagaMuffin, be
sure you will receive
ACFA (American Cat Fanciers
Association) or
CFA (CAT Fanciers Association) registration
papers.
