ll
pointed ragdoll kittens are born white in color. From a few
days to a week you can see seal and blue colors and the
kittens' pattern. Lilacs and chocolates may take 3-4 weeks
to determine their color. At 12 weeks, its color will be
easily distinguished, Ragdolls mature slowly and in about
two years will obtain their full coat color. This means the
color of your kitten will continue to darken over time.
