What's the Best Combo for Pet Ragdoll Cats?

What’s the Best Combo for Pet Ragdoll Cats? Male, Female, or Both?

Thinking of adding more than one Ragdoll to your home? Great choice! Ragdolls are social, affectionate, and tend to get along beautifully with each other. But which combo is best when it comes to personality and harmony—two boys, two girls, or one of each?

Here’s a breakdown of what to expect:

Male + Female (both desexed):

This is often the most balanced pair. The male is usually the goofball—loving, playful, and often following you like a shadow. The female is typically more poised, affectionate in a quieter way, and tends to rule the roost. Together, they complement each other perfectly.

Best for: Families who want both playful energy and calm cuddles.

Male + Male:

This is a favorite combo among Ragdoll lovers. Male Ragdolls are known for their easygoing nature and love of companionship—both human and feline. Two boys usually bond well, wrestle, nap together, and share everything from toys to your lap.

Best for: Homes that want a dynamic duo of fun-loving, cuddly boys.

Female + Female:

This pairing can work well too, especially if both girls have sweet, gentle personalities. Some females may take a little longer to bond fully, especially if one has a strong personality. But once they settle, they become lifelong pals.

Best for: Calm households or those who love quieter, more reserved affection.

Kitten Tip:

When adopting two kittens at once, gender often matters less than personality. If you're choosing from a litter, look for pairs who naturally gravitate toward each other or play together already.

Final Thoughts:

There’s no single “best” combo—it really comes down to the individual cats. But with Ragdolls' famously gentle nature, most pairings work beautifully. Whether you go for two boys, two girls, or a mix, you're in for a home full of love, purrs, and plenty of fluff.
