Ragdoll Cat Forums

I thought I would post the stages of coat and color change for Charlie. He has gone thru so many diffrent patterns and colors it amazes me.
I still see alot of red in his coat but the seal is starting to really come thru now. Do you think he will darken up or lighten up more with time? I love his coat and stripes and that signature "M" on his forehead is really visable now.
4 months old

5 and a half months old

7 months old: you can see the redish brown here

9 months old: he looks more white but the lynx is showing up more

here he is at 10 and a half months old ( seal is turning more brownish)

And here he is today: 1 year and 1 month old:

What a cool idea! I love his stripes!!

So cute! Thanks for sharing these photos with us!

Its so interesting to see their colours develop. I love your stripey boy.

He's gorgeous...in every single picture.

And without his little 'birthmark' you wouldn't even know that was the same cat ! That's fascinating !

Other than the obvious gorgeousness, I was struck by the changing grace and poise, but the gentleness never changed. Ragdolls are the most fascinating animals.

Thanks guys. Charlie really is a true love.
Janilee, you are so right. He really holds his head up high now. He walks with such royalty and grace ( except when he is knocking things off the counter) and I am sure he thinks he is a king,
( he is) These Ragdolls NEVER cease to amaze me!

I love seeing the difference in him as he grows. He's a beautiful boy and his color is just wonderful. We don't get to see many pics of this boy, it's a shame (hint)

He's magnificent, thanks for sharing!

He is gorgeous! Ty for the pics
