Tabby Ragamuffin Cat Names
A tabby RagaMuffin is a very large, very plush cat wearing stripes. The RagaMuffin is a sturdy, sweet-tempered breed that split from Ann Baker's Ragdoll lines in 1994 to become its own breed, and unlike many pedigreed cats it is deliberately allowed in essentially every color and pattern, so tabby, in classic swirls or mackerel stripes, is fully within the standard. On a RagaMuffin the tabby pattern sits over a thick, rabbity coat on a heavy, broad-chested body that can take four years to reach full size, and the breed is known for going limp and relaxed in your arms much like its Ragdoll cousin. A tabby one pairs that wild striped look with a famously docile temperament.
The names below link to both the RagaMuffin breed and the tabby tradition — big, soft, friendly picks that suit a gentle giant in stripes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a RagaMuffin be a tabby?
Yes. The RagaMuffin standard accepts all colors and patterns, including every tabby variety (classic blotched, mackerel striped, spotted and ticked), in any color and with or without white. This open standard is one of the things that sets the breed apart.
How is a RagaMuffin different from a Ragdoll?
They share ancestry: the RagaMuffin was created in 1994 when breeders separated from Ann Baker's Ragdoll program. The RagaMuffin is allowed in far more colors and patterns than the pointed Ragdoll, comes in many eye colors rather than only blue, and has a slightly different head and a fuller coat.
How big does a tabby RagaMuffin get?
Large. RagaMuffins are a heavy, substantial breed, with many cats reaching 10 to 20 pounds, and they are slow to mature, often not reaching full size until around four years old. The tabby pattern simply rides on that large, plush frame.
