I'm thinking about getting a mitted one

I voted pointed but I am getting a bi color boy next week and a pointed girl in 3wks. I cant wait!

I couldn't vote for E. All of the above, with the exception of the Van pattern. The Van patterning in Ragdolls in an accepted variant in CFA, but they are not accepted for points or titles in TICA. The Van pattern, is a Ragdoll with a very high level of white spotting, and I don't know many breeders working with this pattern.

I just got a blue mitted boy a couple of weeks ago.
He's darling!
Mostly white right now, with grey on his tail, ears and a smudge on his nose.
With his dreamy blue eyes as his coat comes in he's going to be even more adorable!

I love mitteds. The little snow paws are just TOO cute!

Well i fell in love with a blue mitted - and then got a seal mitted.....so i guess mitted is for me.

I am like Ashley and have never heard of "van"...Stormi i read your post - do you know where i can see a picture of a "van" ragdoll?

A van is a term for a pattern, the Van bicolor pattern is accepted in CFA, but not in TICA for championship status. The point color is restricted to the tail and ears, and minimal mask point color. The saddle or body area will remain all white, and will not develop color. A van is mostly white. Not many breeders work with the Van pattern, I do not have a picture of one, as I have never worked with or bred one, as the White Spotting Factor is too high, IMO.

The only picture I could find was through this website here, and if you scroll down, there is a picture of a Van Ragdoll.

I hope that helps.
