The Persian Cat History:
It is believed that the long-haired Persian cat as we know today is actually one of the mutations of the Felis Libyca, a short-haired cat that can still be found in Asia and Africa, and that the mutation developed due to the adaptation of the Felis Libyca to the high and cold plateaus of Persia (also known as Iran). He was brought to Europe in 16th century, maybe even earlier.

The Ragdoll Cat History:
The ragdoll cat was created in the 1960’s by Ann Baker, a breeder in California.
Ann bred a domestic longhaired white female she found in her neighborhood to other cats she raised or found. Ann selected individuals with the criteria she wanted for her breeding program, and that is how she created the Ragdoll breed.
The Ragdoll Cat Traits:
The Ragdoll cat is a very calm cat with very relaxed temperament, and is known by his affection to humans, more than other cats breeds. He enjoys humans companionship and likes to play with children, and is very careful not to expose his claws or his teeth while playing. A Ragdoll cat is also very friendly toward other animals, but because of his non-defensive nature, he should never be allowed to go outdoors.

Nowadays, there are more then 70 different cat breeds. You can read more about the different breeds at a nice website I found: www.pictures-of-cats.org
