9 Ragamuffin Cat Colors & Patterns

Common Colors and Patterns

1. Solid

The solid coat is extremely common in the Ragamuffin, with grey and red the most common colors. The solid coat has only one color over most of the body, including the belly, though it may have a small amount of white on the feet, tail, or chin.


2. Tortoiseshell

The tortoiseshell cat is striking and chaotic. It’s a solid coat with two colors mixed haphazardly throughout the fur. The most common colors are chocolate and cinnamon, but you can also find blue, lilac, or fawn. An ideal tortoiseshell will have a darker color on the face with a lighter color on the nose’s bridge. This face coloring is called a “blaze,” but not all tortoiseshell cats have it.


3. Tabby

The tabby cat is by far the most common, but it’s not a pattern as much as it is a marking. Tabby cats have stripes or spots on the face and side of their bodies. It will also have a stripe that resembles the letter M on their forehead.


4. Mink

The mink coat is unique to the Ragamuffin. It’s a specific bloodline in the Ragamuffin breed that results in a smoother coat than a standard Ragamuffin with softer hair that resembles the fur farmed mink.

5. Calico

Calico cats have patches of two colors plus white, most commonly red, black, and white. It’s rare to find a male cat with both red and black colors because of genetics, so almost all calico cats are female. Calico cats usually have white bellies with white, red, and black patches over the sides, back, tail, and face.


6. Bi-color

The bi-color coat has patches of one color plus white. It’s extremely common among most breeds and is easy to find on a Ragamuffin. The most common colors are black and red, but a wide variety of other colors are available. These cats generally have a white belly that can extend up to their chin, with patches of color on the back, head, face, and tail. They can be small patches or take on a saddle’s appearance and be with or without tabby markings.


7. Tuxedo

The Tuxedo coat is a type of bi-color coat. It’s usually a black cat with white trimming that makes it look like it’s wearing a traditional tuxedo. It’s quite formal looking, and while black is the most common, other colors are also available.


8. Smoke

Smoke is another pattern you can find on the Ragamuffin that is very attractive. Due to genetics, cats with this coat have strands of hair with bands of color. At the base, there is little pigment, and the hair is white or lightly colored. At the tip, there is plenty of pigment providing a rich, dark color. These bands cause the hair to appear to change color as you pet it.

9. Colorpoint

The colorpoint pattern is the single coat not allowed by the Cat Fanciers’ Association because the colorpoint pattern is for the Ragdoll breed. The Ragdoll is similar to the Ragamuffin but is only available in the colorpoint pattern.
