Caring For Your Ragdoll Cat

Ragdoll cats are the most amazing intelligent animal you will ever have

If you own a Ragdoll, you may not know exactly how to care for your lovely pet, or maybe you're looking for some new advice. Either way, take a look at some of these insightful and practical tips for taking care of your very own ragdoll cat.

1. Hi, I'm Here! Look at Me! - It's no secret that most cats love attention, but the ragdoll is an extremely friendly and social cat as a rule. Make sure that you actually make time so that you can spend it with your cat. The more you spend with your feline, the healthier he or she will be. As I said, the ragdoll is a social cat, and if it feels neglected, you can expect that there may be health and/or behavioral problems for your feline in the future, which you don't want.

2. I Can Get Pets Now? - You only need to actually groom a rag doll once a week, but if you're looking for an excuse to give your cat a little love, grooming certainly works. So give your cat some pets, you'll win more points.

3. I Ate A Bug! GAK! - Make sure that you don't confuse "Social" cat with "Outdoors" cat. Ragdolls may be friendly, but they are gentle cats at heart. As far as inner lions go, your ragdoll will be more of the Ozian variety, so don't let your cat wander outside alone. Be aware of what your cat is doing if you let it out, because ragdolls aren't exactly defensive by nature and they could easily get themselves attacked. In fact, that goes even on a smaller level, as parasites are more likely to find your ragdoll a tasty host.

4. I Needs my Claws for my Super-Secret Missions! - Cats want to scratch things to keep their claws sharp. Indoor or outdoor, it's just what they do. So, if your ragdoll decides that the dining room table left to you by your favorite Aunt Maude, wrap the legs in aluminum foil and your cat will stop real quick. They can't stand the way aluminum foil feels.

5. STRING! - Ragdolls are playful cats, and so it's important that you're able to find something that your cat can be entertained by, not the dining room table, of course. As a result, you'll want to have a corneocopia of feline entertainment available, including yourself. Yeah, that's right. You're trying to take care of your cat, and considering they thrive on attention, give it to them and you will guarantee that your kitty will be healthy and oh-so-very happy.

Above all else, a ragdoll cat will be loyal to its master
