Ragdolls are widely loved for their quiet and gentle disposition. Very friendly and defenseless, both to the host and to strangers. As long as you call them softly, they will run up to you and act coquettishly. If you're busy and don't have time to play with them, they'll just sit there quietly until you're done. Of course, if your job keeps you too busy to take care of Ragdolls, then you'd better not choose to keep Ragdolls. Although they can understand the master's hard work, they also long for the master's company. Ragdoll cats have been neglected for a long time, which is detrimental to their physical and mental health.

Ragdoll cat care knowledge
1. Daily grooming is essential
Just because you don't need to take care of the Ragdoll means you can ignore the Ragdoll. Ragdolls are long-haired cats, so daily grooming is essential. In the process of grooming, the owner can not only check whether the puppet cat has external parasites, wounds, etc., but also stimulate the blood circulation of the puppet cat, which is conducive to the maintenance of the puppet cat's hair and even the health of the body. Ragdoll cats can effectively reduce cat hair in the home.
2. Clean the litter box every day
In fact, no matter what kind of cat it is, they are very afraid that the litter box is not cleaned in time. Ragdolls may protest you by not defecating in the litter box if the owner fails to clean the litter box in time.

3. Prepare a scratching board for the Ragdoll
Ragdolls' good temper won't stop them from scratching their paws. If you put too much faith in the gentle character of the Ragdoll, then one day you will come home and find that the sofa or furniture at home has been scarred. Owners should buy a scratching board before taking their ragdoll home, with a sharpener like this, the ragdoll won't be distracted from furniture whenever it needs to sharpen its claws.

What are the feeding requirements for Ragdoll cats?
For ragdoll cats, breast milk is of course the best food source, but if for some reason (such as the mother cat cannot breastfeed, insufficient milk, etc.), when the kitten cannot breastfeed, the owner must find a way to find another flavors. There is milk powder specially produced for kittens on the market, and owners can buy this milk powder to brew and feed the kittens. When the puppet is ready to be weaned, gradually give the cat food.
Cat food is divided into adult cat food and kitten food. The owner can purchase corresponding products for the cat according to the age of the puppet cat. Many owners worry that simply feeding their cats cat food isn't giving them enough nutrition. This idea is wrong. In fact, if the puppet cat is only fed cat food, there will be no malnutrition, because the nutrition of the cat food can fully meet the needs of the puppet cat, and the owner can safely feed the cat. If you think that the puppet cat only eats cat food is too monotonous, then you can also prepare some snacks for the cat, but the supply of snacks must be controlled, otherwise the puppet cat will become a picky eater. Moreover, Ragdoll cats eat too many snacks, which can easily become "fat cats", leading to urinary system diseases and high blood sugar.

For owners of homemade cat food, they must understand what nutrients cats need, and the supplements of these nutrients must be in place and indispensable. In particular, the lack of certain trace elements makes it impossible to see anything abnormal in the ragdoll cat in the short term. However, when the Ragdoll has obvious symptoms, some physical injuries cannot be recovered, which is extremely harmful to the Ragdoll. In addition, how to add seasonings has always been a problem that many cat lovers can't grasp. If you don't know how to add seasonings, you may want to consult a veterinarian or related professional, and do not season homemade cat food by your own feelings.
In the choice of food, the owner should also pay attention. Animal livers, for example, have long been a point of contention among cat lovers and experts. Some people do not recommend feeding it, and some people say that the liver is very nutritious, and as long as it is fed in moderation, it will not pose a danger to cats at all. For such controversial foods, you must be careful when choosing.
