The Ragdoll cat comes in a variety of beautiful coat colors and markings. Seal is one of this cat’s recognized distinct colors, together with red, chocolate, blue, cream, and lilac.
And what does the bicolor stand for? This is a Ragdoll color pattern, just like the colorpoint and mitted patterns.
These cats, just like all Ragdolls, are born white, and their coat color and pattern start to show slowly as they grow.
Let’s find out some interesting facts about the Bicolor Seal Ragdoll.
What Does The Bicolor Seal Ragdoll Look Like?
The Bicolor Seal Ragdoll has a wonderful combination of dark and light fur coloring.
She has dark brown coloring – the seal color – on the part of her face, on her ears, and her tail. The seal color also appears on the part of the Bicolor Ragdoll’s back
This cat’s distinctive feature is the white inverted V on her face. She also has white legs, a white abdomen, chin, chest, and underside, and, in some cases, white patches on her back.

Ragdolls are a large cat breed; The Bicolor Seal Ragdoll weighs 15 to 20 pounds, while their height goes from 9 to 11 inches.
This cat has a wide head, a long tail, a broad chest, and a long body. Her eyes are blue, just like in all other Ragdolls.
What Is This Cat’s Temperament Like?
I believe all cat fanciers know how calm, sweet, and good-natured Ragdolls are in general. But, has the coat color and pattern anything to do with the cat’s temperament? What is the Bicolor Seal Ragdoll in this regard?
There have been some studies in this field. Mónica Teresa González-Ramírez and René Landero-Hernández [1] investigated the connection between cats' coat color and their personality traits.
Study results showed that orange cats are seen as trainable and friendly by their owners, while gray cats showed the highest score for being aloof and shy.
These are some interesting findings but aren’t a definitive answer to the question of whether a cat’s coat color defines her temperament. Also, these are only the personal opinions of cat owners and don’t mean that all cats with a specific coat color have the same behaviors.
Dallas Highway Animal Hospital explains how a cat’s early life, her interaction with people, and even genetics can have a far bigger role in the development of her personal traits.
In general, you can expect the Bicolor Seal Ragdoll to be gentle, sweet, and non-aggressive. These cats are also likely to get along with small children and other pets.
All in all – these Ragdolls make wonderful companions!
