Talk about the “disadvantages” of ragdoll cats. After recalling the history of establishing a relationship with the little master, let’s talk about the “disadvantages” of ragdoll cats.
Hair: There is more hair in winter, but it doesn’t fall too much. Combing it once a day will also reduce the cat hair falling in the house. For him, I also bought a Dyson vacuum cleaner, which is very convenient to use. Later, I bought an air purifier with HEPA filter. When friends come, they will feel that the air in the room with the filter is better. I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect. The hair loss in this season is really exaggerated. Sometimes a small ball can be directly caught from the place where he sleeps, flying in the air, and cat hair will be left wherever he passes by… on clothes, on the sofa, on the quilt, and even on the tableware, everywhere. I can only stay away from him before eating, and then take a closer look. Although cat hair is protein, you don’t want to supplement it in this way…
Poop: There are mainly two problems. First, for ragdolls, the hair is longer, which causes the poop to sometimes stick to the hair of PP. This probability has occurred about 10 times in 9 months, so… be prepared to wipe the master’s butt, wash his feet, and trim the hair around the butt. The second is the smell. Before half a year old, you rarely notice the smell of the poop, but it has become more and more smelly recently… The food is basically the same, so it may be that the digestive function has become more perfect. In addition, as for those who say that ragdolls have a glass stomach, this little one has basically never had loose stools and has always digested well, so I can’t answer this question.
Eating: The food I feed is not very fine, but it still does not affect his rapid growth. The staple food is dry cat food, the brand is Orijen, which is suitable for kittens and cat mothers who have given birth to babies. It is more expensive than Royal Cat, and the nutritional value is also great. Recently, he began to get tired of this brand, and he changed to Royal Cat, but he ate it very happily. When I was fostered at my colleague’s house, I also fed him ordinary brands from the supermarket, and I didn’t experience anorexia, discomfort or loose stools. I feed canned food as supplementary food, and then cut up the wheat grass I grow and mix it in to reduce hairballs. Now due to the epidemic, I stay at home every day, and I have only noticed dry heaves twice in two months. However, in order to continue to reduce the number of hairballs, I changed him to Royal Canin cat food that can reduce hairballs, hoping that it will be more helpful to reduce hairballs. Occasionally, I also feed him some raw meat, but it has no effect.
Cat litter: The only small complaint is that it is expensive! But this is not the “shortcoming” of the owner, but because I am poor. Haha, it’s a bit exaggerated, but it’s actually okay~ At first, I used bentonite, which has good clumping effect, but it is not very clean after all. When he was about four months old, his eyes were swollen, tearing, and pus. At that time, I didn’t know that it might be related to the cat litter, and I didn’t know that kittens’ eyes are prone to illness. I was nervous and went to the pet hospital. I spent more than 1,600 yuan. After checking, it was not a physical scratch. I prescribed eye drops and it was gone… (I’m not blackening domestic pet hospitals. The answerer is abroad, and the hourly labor fee is so expensive that you doubt your life) This part is also included in the cat litter fee, which is relatively expensive. Later, I checked a lot and chose the world’s best cat litter. It is really easy to use, has a good clumping effect, and a natural taste. It is about 30010kg in RMB, and it can be used for about one and a half months. After changing the cat litter, there has been no eye disease.
Eye disease: Let’s continue with the cat litter. My cat has had eye disease twice, that is, tears, one of them couldn’t open its eyes, and there was a little purulent secretion in the corner of the eye. The first time was because of cat litter. The author basically vacuums the house three times a week, which is quite clean. Once I took him to a colleague’s house who had just moved. The house was not cleaned properly. The next day after returning, the cat had an eye disease with the same symptoms. Fortunately, I had this experience, so I didn’t panic this time. I used eye drops worth 1,600 yuan for three days, and it healed quickly. So you can be a little more at ease about kittens’ eye diseases, unless it is caused by physical damage, then you have to pay attention to it.
Appearance: Ragdoll is really a living chameleon. When it was young, you should try to choose lighter colors. My little one was so dark that I could hardly see his eyes when he was only 9 months old. See the picture for details…
The rest are all advantages. After raising a ragdoll, I touched other cats and felt that the touch was far inferior to that of a ragdoll. And the companionship he brings you every day, the joy he brings you when he is silly, and even the fact that he makes you jump when he is naughty, you will feel very happy. Finally, the fur color changes of the last wave of little masters from 1 to 9 months, the appearance is not high enough, the color is not bright enough, but there are always moments that make you feel that with him, the years are quiet and good.
