Ragamuffin cats have a dense and silky coat, like that of a heavily furred rabbit, and the hair grows longer around the neck and face (a ruff), increases in length toward the stomach and gives a wispy frill on the hind legs.
When brushing shorthairs brush along the lie of the fur, but in a longhaired cat the coat can be gently whipped up so that each hair stands away from the body and the ruff makes a wide frill or halo round the head.
Their coat was long and dense, but of a rather coarse texture, and the mane or frill over the shoulders was very woolly. It was usually of tabby color, and had bright orange eyes, which were often tinged with green. Their ears were larger too.
They have broad, massive skulls with round faces and a domed forehead; small rounded ears; and broad, snub noses with a decided break. The coat is long from head to tail, with an immense ruff and frills between the front legs.
