How Big Do Ragdoll Cats Get? The Gentle Giant Explained
Ragdolls are one of the largest domesticated cat breeds, but they are slow to mature. Don’t expect a tiny kitten to stay small for long!
These cats have a substantial bone structure and a broad, muscular body. They typically reach their full size around four years of age. An adult male Ragdoll usually weighs between 15 and 20 pounds, with females being slightly smaller, ranging from 10 to 15 pounds.
When you pick one up, you feel their solid weight. They are not just fluffy; they are genuinely big cats. This large size, combined with their floppy nature, makes them feel like a soft, heavy blanket in your arms—a truly unique experience.
Bottom Line: Ragdolls are gentle giants, with males often reaching 15-20 pounds.
