In the 1960s, an American cat breeder developed the semi-longhaired Ragdoll cat, and it is just as cute and cuddly as it sounds. Personality-wise, the Ragdoll is commonly referred to as the most dog-like cat one can find. It has no problem being held, loves a good belly rub, and follows its person everywhere.

Standard features of Ragdoll cats include V-shaped markings on their foreheads, a long fluffy tail, a thick coat of super-soft fur, and piercing blue eyes that always get what they want. To get one of these “dogs in a cat’s body,” it could cost as little as $425, or, if it’s of show-quality, as much as $5,000.
