The Cherubim is a large, affectionate, semi-longhaired cat. They are part of the Ragdoll Breed Group and share the same body and head type as the Ragdoll. What makes the Cherubim distinct from the Ragdoll is its wide variety of colors. Cherubims are accepted in the mink, sepia and traditional categories. One of the largest breeds in the cat fancy, the Cherubim gets along well with children and other pets, including dogs. These sturdy cats have no extreme features and blend easily into the busy modern household. Find out more about this breed and if the Cherubim is right for you and your family.

Cherubims are generally easy-going and calm, but they do love to play. Balls, catnip toys, and cat trees or other good scratching and resting areas are mandatory. Feather wands and other interactive toys are great for playing, exercise, and bonding time with the family. It is important to make sure your adult Cherubim gets plenty of interactive playtime to help avoid excess weight gain. It is normal for them to have a thin layer of fat around their lower abdomen, but too much could indicate obesity. The best place to check for optimal weight and condition are along the spine and ribcage. Ask your veterinarian how to determine optimal body condition.
