breeding age

Question
QUESTION: i have a 1 yr old male ragdoll seems depressed and crying, i have an offer of a 6 yr old female ragdoll , is she too old to breed?

ANSWER: Susan,

Ragdolls are a very slow maturing breed, so a 6 year old female should have no problem having kittens.  How long ago did she have her last litter?

QUESTION: last litter was about 8 months ago.
I have another ragdoll male, who isnt interested in the oppersite sex at all, is this usual?

Answer
Susan,

How old is the other Ragdoll male? On some of the slower maturing breeds I have seen it where the males do not get interested until they are 2 or 3 years of age.  Every once in a while, you run into a male who never gets interested.

Best regards... Norm.
