I have a pair of Ragdoll friends at home

! I have a pair of Ragdoll friends at home. Although I am an office worker, I can still spend every day with my master, so I should have a say~ The disadvantages of

the master’s post (Iliad & Odyssey)

are as follows (some are only for Ragdoll cats, and some are for all cat owners)

Expensive: The pet-level cats in regular catteries are basically 9,000 to 20,000. Of course, expensive is not the disadvantage of cats, but our disadvantage;

Choosing a cat requires patience and judgment: Regular Ragdoll catteries are not easy to find, and you usually have to wait in line after finding a cat. Moreover, many backyards pretending to be regular catteries confuse people, and there are various problems after buying a cat home (FYI: If you can’t find a reliable Ragdoll cattery, don’t buy a Ragdoll cat! Otherwise, there will be endless troubles!); Sensitive stomach

: As an artificially bred breed, some Ragdolls are very well cared for and are prone to soft stools. Once in a while, I would see him spinning and jumping around the house with his poop on his butt. It

is expensive to keep him: raw bones and meat, freeze-dried food, canned food, nutritional supplements, cat food, cat litter, these are nothing! The key is that once he gets sick! It will cost thousands of dollars – When you see your cat lying on the ground sick, with its blue eyes looking at you helplessly, you will definitely pick it up and rush to the hospital with your bank card to pay (even if you know that it may be fine after a good sleep);

Hair loss: Please say goodbye to all dark clothes, buy Dyson and carry all kinds of hair removers with you;

Being annoyed by friends: Because from the first day after you get the cat, your WeChat friends’ circle of friends will be flooded with various photos of your cat;

Limited freedom: Going out to play after work? Going on a trip? Sleeping in? Staying up late in the bar? Don’t even think about it – feeding the cat is the first priority;

Trouble with bathing: It is easy to wash but difficult to blow! The fur is too thick! This happens once every two months. They fall asleep while lying down and I am sweating profusely before I finish blowing half of it!

Scared: What if the cat goes back to my hometown during the Spring Festival? What if it falls out of the window? What if it runs away after forgetting to close the door? Crazy!

These are all I can think of for the time being. I will come back to add new ones if there are any.

For the sake of fairness and justice, let me also talk about the advantages

. Easy to pet: I personally have not encountered a breed with better fur than the ragdoll;

Good-looking: Seeing the ragdoll’s face really makes all my worries go away (the aunt’s smile is always on the corner of the mouth). Appearance is not everything, but who doesn’t like to have a pleasing companion at home?

Keeping a cat is safe: scratching you? Breathing? These are basically insulated from Ragdoll cats (except for special personalities);

Personality healing: not letting you touch? Throwing a tantrum? Treating you as a passerby? These are basically insulated from Ragdoll cats (except for special personalities);

Encouraging people to make progress: If you keep a cat, you will find that your salary is not enough, and you will work harder;

Promoting the development of mobile phones and mobile phone accessories industry: A cute cat is the best tool to detect the capacity of your mobile phone. More mobile phones are replaced (with larger capacity), which indirectly promotes the development of technology and economy [serious nonsense;

Make people happy: I personally think that as long as this point is met, the above 8 shortcomings are nothing.

A few words of advice (for the happiness of both you and the owner, I still have to say a few words)

Whether it is a Ragdoll cat or any other pet, it must be based on the personal ability of the owner. If you need to save money for a long time to pay for the cost of buying a cat, then it is not recommended to buy a purebred cat. After all, the cost after getting a cat is unpredictable…. So if you don’t have the ability to take out money at any time for emergency, you should be cautious about getting a cat (if you can save enough in just a few days and you are usually well-off, just ignore what I said);

Ragdoll cats are expensive, but it does not mean that they are nobler than other cats (all cats are equal): high appearance does not mean that they will not have an embarrassing period of ugliness, and being soft and cute does not mean that they will not make trouble, and a good personality does not mean that they can be treated casually. In short, you must be mentally prepared;

you must have a good knowledge reserve of raising cats: cat feeding methods, habits, care, environmental preparation, emergency handling, etc. must be learned in advance. Related supplies must be screened and purchased before getting a cat;

you must do a good job of screening before buying a cat: Ragdolls have been too popular in recent years, and many messy catteries have emerged one after another. Never buy a backyard cat. Be sure to choose a reliable cattery. Be sure to research the cattery in advance to see if it has a dark history (check out forums such as Tieba and Zhihu). Be sure to check the pedigree and certificate. Be sure to sterilize the cat, be sure to sign a contract, and be sure to do a physical examination in advance.
