Am I correct in recalling that Ragdolls have soft, thick fur, large
frames, gentle dispositions, and "Siamese-type" coloring? I do
remember that they are bred for that "going limp" characteristic.

Other cats may "go limp" when picked up too, like some Birmans do. Birmans
have
similar coloring as well, so that's another possibility. Does the cat have
four
white mittens?

My cat Mickey goes limp when I pick him up, just like a sack of potatoes. He's
a DSH and gray with tuxedo markings. If he's gray and white but has the tuxedo
markings, is he still a tuxedo because he's gray and white and not black and
white?

Hmm, how did I miss this post... aw well.

I have one Ragdoll.

They have thick fur, are very gentle, but there are different colourings
and patterns not all of which are Siamese-like.

Some go limp. I find mine will settle right down into my arms when I
pick her up, seemingly completely trusting of me not to drop her. They
also like to lay on their backs a lot.

yes both mine are the same, they often just crash out on their backs to
sleep in the middle of the floor! LOL

my 6 weeks old Ragdoll kittens lay on their back, and lay like babies in my
arms already! they are all totally litter box trained apart from one
accident a couple of weeks ago from one of them.
Ragdolls are amazing cats :-)
