Activity and exercise
Imagine the most loving, longhaired lap cat you’ve ever had the fortune to meet, and you’ll understand the goal behind the development of the RagaMuffin breed. These sweet-tempered, easy-going cats were created to cuddle, and they will make themselves at home anywhere you are. [2]
Grooming
Despite their long coats, RagaMuffins do not need daily grooming because their fur tends to resist tangles and mats. Combing with a long-toothed comb is suggested once or twice a week to remove anything that might’ve gotten stuck in their coats. [2]
