10 Things To Know About Owning A RAGDOLL Kitten / Cat

[@MuddinNYC]

Ragdolls are the dogs of the cat world. They need so much attention and love and never leave you alone. Great for those of us who always wanted a dog but could not get one.

[@candacedawn357]

Great for me being a dog lover & now deciding for the first time in my life to get a cat. 😊

[@tireoghain82]

After 15 years of being a Ragdoll owner, this is the most accurate and real information video I've seen. Especially regarding their vocalisation! People need to know Ragdolls are just as psycho as other kitties!

[@franlindstrom6274]

We live in USA. Got our Ragdoll about six months ago. She is just a big fluffy bundle of love. She is different from your cat in a few ways. She is very quiet, Meows occasionally, is very independent & doesn’t really like to be picked up, although she is the ultimate lap cat. Sweetest kitty ever.

[@lorena.delgado]

@@franlindstrom6274 what age was your rag doll when you got her?

[@lifeaccordingtocynthia5657]

Our rag doll had the "cling-on" problem when we first got her as a young adult. Our vet told us to let her lap up a half teaspoon of butter twice per week and we have not had that issue since. She loves her butter, and a small amount of it works wonders and is totally safe. Better than buying a gel at the pet shop which is very expensive.

[@Livingthelifeyoulove]

Interesting! that's great to know 😊 Thankfully we have only experienced it a handful of times as he wasn't drinking enough but getting a water fountain really helped with that. x

[@kaths_rockxbye5601]

You could also use a lactose-free one! Better for their digestive system

[@tasschic]

Ive just got a little rag doll.. She is 8 wks. What is the "cling on " problem ?

[@Koko100]

@Tassie - it's when the cat poops and some of the poop is stuck on cat's fur. It's problematic especially when the cat has diarrhea (the bottom part ;) of the cat can be covered with it), but it may happen in every long-haired breed. You just need to deal with it but there are some ways of making it less troublesome - you can hear about them in this video.

[@CoffeetheRagdollCat]

You have done a wonderful job of this! Being a Ragdoll Cat myself, it's great to see such a great video about me. Thank you! Love from Coffee Cat

[@moonlightstar7786]

I found my rag doll off of a rescue site as well. The owner prior to me had rescued her from a bad breeder. The prior owner was no longer able to care for the cat due to medical reasons and I adopted her. We’ve had her for about 7 months and the cat absolutely loves my daughter.

[@candacedawn357]

That goes to show that there can be a happy ending if the breeder was bad.

[@gabriellajaramillo8853]

​@candacedawn357 Exactly! A good breeder helps but a bad breeder doesn't ruin a cat either. For example, I got my cats from the streets as kittens and they turned out amazing. Its all about how you treat them once you get them.

[@adeliashafira]

I can relate to almost every points with my 5 months old ragdoll :D she is very vocal when it's her meal time, or in front of treats. We feed her raw food too, and freeze dried for treats. she weights 2,5 kg, very sociable and loves follow around every family members. It's been a very wonderful experience to live with a ragdoll

[@treywilson3680]

Yes she had been used just for breeding and was left dying of cat flu in a carrier bag alongside a pedigree Persian! I wasn't even looking for another cat for myself but went with my parents to choose one for them. I was shown this cat and she wouldn't leave me and I instantly fell in love with her. Once she was fully recovered she moved in with me and my other rescue cats and she is spoilt rotten! She follows me everywhere talking away just like you mention in your video, the only difference really to her behaviour from echo is she does love to be outside always under my watchful eye! Love your videos! X

[@lauraeaton5414]

I volunteer at a shelter in the USA. I have a cat who is a mix breed kitty and I see some pure breed cats there. I'm ve had a Himi and two Persians and two Maine Coons. They are all sweet cats that I'm ve really enjoyed. You did say hypertrophic cardiomyopathy right. My Himi had knee caps that dislocated and answer murmur. He died because of a bladder conditions that male cats get. All of my kitties have been a joy to me and even helped me through my own heart issues. My Himi actually saved my life. My heart rate was 30 beats per minute and he jumped on my chest at night. This was documented by a monitor I wore for 24hours.

We added a blue mitted Ragdoll to our home on Sunday. He is 4 months’ old and he is such a lover boy. We have a Scottish Fold who is 16 months’ old. They are getting along very well. The Fold is not a lover boy but they play together nicely. They even slept together after a couple days. The Ragdoll loves to be held where the Fold doesn’t. I think Ragdoll is helping the Fold become more social. Love your kitties.

Our ragdoll cat comes for a snuggle/ pet session 3 or 4 times a night. They are so amazingly affectionate! They are such little buddies!

[@Flowangelic]

We adopted our Ragdoll two weeks ago. She's 5 years old and her owners felt she wasn't happy anymore with them. They have a cattery with 14 ragdolls and she couldn't get along with any of them anymore (hit them and hissed at them, especially their kitten). So we took her in (one of the 4 cats they were getting rid of). I'm glad we took her in, the owners were kind (an older couple) but their living space was incredibly small imo for so many cats. I doubt they plan on stopping breeding ragdolls and participating in shows any time soon. But at least this beautiful cat can retire now in a quiet home with us.

We just got a tiny ragdoll kitten, its unreal. Sure he is a kitten and quite wild still and does some level of attacking scratching and biting (still quite gently though), but he is such a cuddly little affectionate fellow. He always comes to us to cuddle and spoon. We found that singing rains of castamere makes him sleep almost immediately 😂

I have 2 Ragdol’s Sister and brother they adore each other as well as me. I got them as I could not replace my dog due to health conditions. They both have very different personalities and everything you have said is completely spot on. Me and the family adore them. They groom each other and sleep wrapped up with each other. Sometimes they like to stretch out. I have to shadows with me constantly around the house. They are definitely different than owning a normal cat. But don’t forget these are house cats as they can’t defend themselves outside. I have a safe large cat pen outside they love chasing each other and it’s so funny to watch them. They bring you joy if you can’t get out of the house much ❤️❤️❤️

[@lostspoon]

when I was little I always wanted a ragdoll. When I was 10 my mom surprised me with my first cat (my first cat was from a person who wasn't. breeder, their cat just got pregnant and so we took the kitten in when she was only 6 weeks old.) My mom searched and searched and searched for a second cat when I was 11 and finally I ended up finding a very good breeder. She's an incredible breeder and very responsible and we got my second cat from her. A few years later and over the years she gave us some photos of new litters as per our request (giving her back photos of the cat we got from her) My two cats get along great and tomorrow we're getting our third cat from her and our new cat is finally the rag doll that little me always wanted :)

My two Ragdolls passed away recently, they were sisters and littermates, and they were some of the sweetest friends that I've ever had! You're the first KZbinr who has ever mentioned the, "cling-on" problem. Also, you're absolutely right about Ragdolls being vocal! As a quick question, is it still okay to kiss a cat on their face after a, "cling-on?" I always wanted to kiss my cats' faces, but I wasn't sure... Thanks again for making my day! 😻

Echo is so gorgeous! I got my Ragdoll boy Milo 3 weeks ago and I’m absolutely in love 🥰 My resident cat Theo is still getting used to him (he’s 2.5 years old and part Persian) so it will be interesting to see how Echo gets on with a new kitten if you decide to get another one?

Awwweee Echo is sooo adorable!!! 🥰 I'm really good friends (well, _my parents_ are really good friends and I am too) with a couple who now breed Full-Breed Ragdoll Kittens and we've decided to get a kitten off them soon, their next litter is due around August and will be ready by October which is perfect because that's around the time of my birthday, and we're really lucky to be good friends with them and know that they are trustworthy, and they are even giving us a small discount which is amazing! I've already seen the kittens from their previous litter in person which is also a good thing to do if you are buying animals from someone, because you need to know that they _do_ have the kitten/whatever animal you are getting, and that they are trustworthy and not fake. I'm so so so excited and happy 😊 I've always wanted a kitten and I think that Ragdolls are an excellent breed to have, and their personalities and traits are so wonderful

He's bonded with daughters kitten , so later on ,will find him a wee play mate..He was needing to be with other cats and is much more socialized .

I subsequently got another kitten who he doted on, groomed and protected until she was older. He’s five now and has a sweet calming presence that my girls appreciate. He was a kitten until he was four so enjoy the extended-long play fun 😊 I think he wasn’t suitable for breeding as he has crossed eyes (a common thing in pointed cat breeds). BTW the lynx markings are also defines by the cute white eyeliner he’s wearing. My boy is a blue point, mitted, lynx.

Great video. Our precious ragdoll Boaz died of HCM on thursday. Make sure you get your cat from a breeder that screens for this heart disease. He had a massive heart attack and his two back legs went paralyzed. The vet gave him 6 to 12 months if he survived this episode but he was prone to having more heart attacks and the vet wasn't sure if he would survive the night. He was in terrible terrible pain so we agonized over the decision and finally put him down and we miss him so much. Only 3 years old. He was not floppy but he followed us everywhere. It's so strange in the house now not having him in the kitchen while I'm cooking or greeting me in the morning. He would also run to the door no matter what time we came home and greet us

Hi Kay, I really enjoy watching your video. Ragdoll cats are absolutely adorable. I like the chattering because it gives good interactions. They indeed follow owners around, even to the bathroom. At first I didn’t like the idea of kittens entering bathroom because of humid. However after repeated meowing, I surrendered. Ragdoll kittens or probably any cats like to see owners any second when brushing teeth, washing hands or even showering. Is it a good idea to allow the kitten to stay when having a bath?

[@fangniwang6787]

I recently lost my cat to HCM which absolutely broke my heart, wish I did more research before I got a cat as she was still a young cat.

I totally get what you mean. I personally don't agree with breeders either but sometimes you just want a specific breed and its okay as long as its a certified breeder.

Not only this, sometimes adoption centres don't have indoor cats available (this was the case for me) and if your area isn't suitable for an outdoor cat it would be unfair on the cat

We got two ragdolls from same litter. They are 4 months old now and have been with us for 3 weeks. They were bred with kids in the house and around humans. However once we brought them in, they just have not seemed to be the stereotypical. They don’t like to be petted, nor held, but they do love to play. They play bite but nothing aggressive. Is it still too early for me to conclude this is their personality and will need to accept this will be their personality? Thanks

Would you say if you left your door open your rag doll would escape or would they still stay inside , we have our back door open a lot with the kids going in and out the garden I would like to get a rag doll but the concerns are about if was to escape.

[@tracyyoung8734]

We had 2 ragdolls which grew up with my sons who were 6 and 10 years old when we purchased them. My beautiful ragdoll called Ari died age 17 and we were all present when the vet had to put him to sleep. Everyone cried even my tough guy husband because he had been such a large part of our lives. 8 weeks ago we put his brother down.Koko was 18 years old. My advice to anyone who is thinking of buying a ragdoll is to remember they live long lives but they will enrich your life immensely. Please remember, the ragdoll is an INDOOR cat and as such it is not safe to leave them outside as they do not know how to defend themselves.

O.O just got a ragdoll after my other of 14 years passed away and my new one looks similar to yours and I gave her the same name... What a coincidence.

[@dishagupta5678]

Any suggestions to convince parents to buy one?

Thank u so much my parents said I can get a ragdoll kitten if I learn about it and now I might get my dream kitten

I’ve found all the breeders in my part of the UK tend to rehome from 9 weeks which i feel is acceptable although the bare minimum, a lot do however try to get all the kittens from the litter rehomed within the same week so as to make the transition easier and not leave any behinc which i think is a good way of doing it :)

[@mrsdraenog]

Any breeder selling that young is going against the GCCF rules and should be reported. Nine weeks is absolutely too young.

[@JesAmazee]

@@mrsdraenog the biggest rehoming charities in the country rehome from 8 weeks (cats protection and woodgreen) and 9 weeks (battersea and rspca) as long as they kitten is eating solid food and has been health checked etc. Pedigree breeds do however tend to be rehomed at about 11/12 weeks

[@mrsdraenog]

@@JesAmazee Yep, you said “breeders” not rescues which was what I was referring to. GCCF (the largest governing body of pedigree cats in the UK as far as I know) requires kittens to be homed no less than 12 weeks - any homed earlier than that are in violation of the rules and if caught will be fined/banned and are either dodgy breeders who need to be reported to the GCCF or backyard breeders.

I had two Balinese, one Siamese, one rescued all black shorthair and one rescued mixed Himalayan at one point. The female of my two Balinese and my little mixed Himalayan died of old age and the other three seemed so sad. Especially the male Balinese because they were littermates companions. So I got a little baby Ragdoll just this weekend(she was born on Christmas 🎅). I can’t believe how unbelievably sweet and well behaved she is (for a kitten at least). She still goes goofy around the house and flops everywhere like a goofy little ball of fluff. But they ARE very needy at a young age. Like a puppy. So it is a little bit more work than a regular kitten. But they so cute and sweet and SOFT, OMG are they soft. And I had two Balinese whose old name before they were actually named as their own breed was the “Silky Haired Siamese”. They have long super soft flowing hair and i never thought id find another cat with softer hair. But I did! LOL..

Echo is the sweetest boy omg! Would you happen to have any tips on carrier training? Echo seems so comfortable in his carrier. Sending a hello from the US!

[@PinkLunatic]

Dunno if this will help but generally leave the carrier out around the house maybe leave treats there. Positive reaforcement. He should hopefully sit in it naturally

[@lauren67061]

He is SOOOOO cute!!!! I should be getting my rag doll next month 🤞🏼😍

I have two Ragdolls and a lot of this is super helpful, but 6 weeks is too young for the first vaccine! One of mine was vaccination too young by a dodgy breeder and it caused her a lot of issues. In the end she needed to start again and have an additional two shots because her body wasnt able to metabolise it correctly. 3 months minimum!
