They are beautiful, soft, docile and easy to be pushed down. Of course, if this is also considered a disadvantage…

Let’s first popularize the past and present of Ragdoll cats, and attach the method of how to raise a Ragdoll.

These days, appearance is justice.

Speaking of the appearance of the cat world,

it must be

the largest American famous cat.

Ragdoll cats originated from the United States and are the largest cats in size and weight among all cats.

Its ancestors are white long-haired cats and Birman cats. In 1960, breeder Ann Baker in California, USA, began to breed Ragdoll cats. The progress was very smooth. In 1965, this new cat breed was recognized in the United States. However, Ragdoll cats currently live mainly in American families. They are not very popular in other countries. They are typical American famous cats. Among all cat breeds, the name of Ragdoll cat is the cutest. Its meaning comes from the English word “rag doll”. As the name suggests, Ragdoll cats will completely trust their owners and have super gentle personalities. Just like a child’s toy, when you hold a Ragdoll cat, he will relax in your arms.

Soft, clingy and easy to push down

. In the early days, people usually thought that Ragdoll cats were insensitive to pain, but this is a completely wrong concept. This misconception originated from the fact that the earliest Ragdoll cat was bred by a long-haired cat that survived a car accident on the road.

In fact, Ragdoll cats are just very good-tempered, extremely friendly to people, and have strong tolerance. Newly born kittens are not the color you see in adult cats. They are generally white all over. After a week, the face, ears, and tail of the kittens begin to change color. Because of their huge size, Ragdoll cats have a long maturity period and are generally considered fully developed at the age of 4.

Ragdoll cats are relatively clingy cats. In addition to welcoming you home at the door every day, they will follow you around the house, often asking to lie on you, and will not leave you even when sleeping. They have a gentle personality and can get along well with children, the elderly, and other small animals.

In addition, Ragdoll cats have several major characteristics, such as liking to move on flat ground and not being as keen on jumping up and down as other cats. The call is very gentle, without sharp hissing. In short, the ragdoll cat is an elegant and gentle cat.

The advantage of this character is that although its fur is long, it will not get tangled due to running around, and its cleanliness is greatly improved. On weekdays, you only need to use a pin comb to help it clean the dead hair that has fallen off.

At present, there are 4 more popular fur colors for ragdoll cats – bicolor, van, glove and key color. The International Cat Breed Association only accepts bicolor and van to participate in the competition, and glove and key color can only be registered. So when buying a kitten, you should ask clearly according to your feeding purpose. If you want a good-looking and pure ragdoll cat, it is best to choose a ragdoll cat with a CAAC pedigree certificate.

How to feed a ragdoll cat?

The amount of exercise for each ragdoll cat needs to be about 20 minutes, slight hair loss, not noisy, and the friendliness is as high as 95 points. Daily combing is essential.

Ragdoll cats are long-haired cats, so their hair must be combed every day. In the process of combing hair, the owner can not only check whether there are parasites and wounds on the cat’s body, but also stimulate the cat’s blood circulation, and effectively reduce the flying of cat hair at home.

Clean the cat litter box every day

. In fact, no matter what kind of cat, they are afraid that the cat litter box will not be cleaned in time. If the owner cannot clean the cat litter box in time, then the cat may protest to you by not defecating in the cat litter box.

Prepare a scratching board for the cat

. Every cat has to sharpen its claws. The good temper of the ragdoll cat cannot prevent their nature of sharpening their claws. With such a claw sharpening tool, the ragdoll cat will not shift its attention to the furniture.

Avoid free-range

ragdoll cats are only suitable for indoor life. If you put them outdoors, they are easily harmed by other animals.

Tips: Legend of the ragdoll cat.

I don’t know if every cat breed must experience a legend to shine. The legend of the ancestor of the ragdoll cat is very exciting. It is said that a white wild cat named Joe was hit by a car. A kind-hearted person happened to see it and took it home to take good care of it. Joe gradually recovered. Although it is a wild cat, it is well-behaved when it gets along with people. Soon, this wild cat named Joe gave birth to a litter of kittens. The owner found that the kittens were particularly well-behaved and did not have the wildness of wild cats at all. He thought that this was a reaction caused by the mother cat’s genes being affected after being hit by a car. So, these kittens were used for breeding and became the last Ragdoll cats.

After all, if there is any shortcoming of Ragdoll cats, it is that they are too clingy!!
