Cocoa Chanel is a stunning and very rare, chocolate point Ragdoll! The chocolate gene is very hard to find and preserve in the breed! It actually changes the coat color to a rich brown, and when combined with the 'colorpoint' gene that all Ragdolls have - it gives them beautiful, milk chocolate colored 'points' on their ears, face, tail and legs - with a light cream, nearly white body.
Cocoa is actually still fairly young - Ragdolls take 3 - 4 years to reach their 'full color', so her face markings will continue to fill in with rich dark brown color. If you compare Cocoa's pictures to her mother - Willow's pictures, you can see the clear difference in a chocolate point vs a seal point! (Willow is a seal point who carries the chocolate gene needed to make Cocoa's color.)
Besides color, I love Cocoa's build and structure. She has beautiful ears with rounded tips as the standard calls for, oval shaped blue eyes, and an excellent muzzle and chin that are moderate, balanced, and well defined. She has an excellent coat for a Ragdoll, it is bunny soft, single layered, long without being wooly, and never mats.

Cocoa is incredibly sweet and silly - she loves playing even as an adult, she has a very bright eyed and curious view of the world. She is very sweet and outgoing, and is one of our more talkative girls!! We chose her not only for her rare color and wonderful physical structure, but because she really has that Ragdoll sweetness and relaxed nature that we love to see. Cocoa is from our queen Willow's third litter of kittens, and is our first 'homegrown' girl to have had a litter of her own! Her kittens are adorable - like I might be a little biased hahaha, but I was and am so happy with the extremely sweet temperaments she passed on to her kittens! There is something very 'silly' and fun about Cocoa that is hard to describe, she is just a joy to live with and has been a relaxed, wonderful mom with her kiddos.
