The embarrassing period of Ragdoll cats is between 3-7 months, but there are a few pure-blooded Ragdoll cats that do not have embarrassing periods during their growth. The reason for the awkward period in Ragdoll cats is caused by normal growth characteristics and is a normal physiological phenomenon. After the embarrassing period is over, the overall appearance of the Ragdoll cat will be greatly improved.

The so-called awkward period refers to the unbalanced proportions caused by the uneven development rate of bones during the physical development of cats in their early childhood. Because the Ragdoll cat's body is growing rapidly while its body is growing rapidly, other tissue structures are growing at different rates, causing the Ragdoll cat to temporarily lose the correct body proportions, balance and beauty of the breed. For example, if the face becomes longer, the length and width of the face will return to normal proportions after the embarrassing period is over. And it is accompanied by normal manifestations such as hair loss and lightening of lines. After seven or eight months, Ragdoll cats will gradually regain their beauty, and they often become more beautiful as they grow older.
