All Ragdoll cats are born white
At the very beginning, all the Ragdoll kittens will be covered with white fur all over their bodies. Then, as they get older, some parts of their fur will get colored and the pattern will become visible. Why does this happen? The short answer is that it is all in their genes.
A Ragdoll Kitten Care Guide
Ragdolls display a genetic mutation that affects an enzyme in the metabolic pathway between tyrosine and the final pigment, which is sensitive to temperature. This mutation makes a ragdoll’ cat coloration dependent on its body temperature.
Side note: Ragdoll colour genetics are definitely interesting. If you would like to learn more about Ragdoll color genetics, The British Ragdoll Cat Club keeps a nice Ragdoll Cat Pattern/Colour Predictions table.
It allows you to put in the colors each breeding cat may carry. Another great thing about this site is it also does pattern. Since there are a few different genotypes of the bicolor pattern in the Ragdoll breed, it is important to know what you may get. In the USA, most breeders work with the High Mitted Bicolor pattern only. There are some that will work with True Bicolor or Mid High White, but they are a more difficult pattern to work with as they carry more white and a colorpoint mate is needed to control the white spotting gene. A Mitted to Mitted breeding will produce all 3 patterns of Mitted, Colorpoint, and “High Mitted” Bicolor.

It’s not just teenagers who struggle with bad skin: cats can get acne, too. However, if you notice spots on your feline’s fur coat, there’s a chance that it’s not acne, but flea dirt.
Both feline acne and flea dirt can be easily treated. Knowing the difference between the two is the first step in diagnosing your cat’s skin problems and seeking appropriate treatment. This guide explains the difference.
Feline Acne vs Flea Dirt
Feline acne and flea dirt have one thing in common: they both present as small, black specks. However, they are symptoms of two very different conditions.
Although the reasons for feline acne can vary between cats, it’s a skin condition that affects many cats, often in response to:
Environmental allergens and irritants
Stress
Bacteria
Flea dirt, which is made up of small specs of blood that fleas have sucked out of your cat, on the other hand, has one explanation: your cat has fleas. Either they’ve been in (or still are in) your cat’s fur.
The first step in identifying which ailment your kitty is suffering from involves knowing where to look.
BRUSH FROM CHIN TO TAIL
Most cats love a proper brushing—or if not, a good pet with a brush glove. Keeping your eyes on your cat’s coat can help alert you to any cat skin issues they may be experiencing. As you know, your feline friend is great at hiding pain and discomfort, so it’s worth the effort to look.
As you brush, keep a lookout for any black spots. Cat acne can present as:
Small black dots between the hair follicles
Spots on the chin (A chin that looks dirty)
Occasionally, larger white or red pustules that look like zits
While cat acne is often visible on the face, flea dirt has a different presentation. It appears as:
