Ragdoll cats are mainly divided into traditional and Persian. Traditional ragdolls have an awkward period when they are young and grow slowly, but they will be very beautiful when they grow up. And the appearance will change with the seasons. In winter, the scarf is very obvious, which means that the hair will burst. Persian cats can grow very big when they are young. I have two ragdolls. The Persian one weighed eight or nine pounds when it was five months old.
This isthe traditional one of the siblings. It was a little white cat when it was young. The advantages of ragdoll cats are good personalities, clingy and well-behaved. Very angelic, they will take the initiative to find their owners to play, and often lie on my chest when they sleep, or sleep next to my pillow. Several times, they even stretched their heads sideways in my armpits, which made people suspect that it was my girlfriend.
The disadvantage is that the hair loss is serious. Basically, it needs to be cleaned every two days, and it is also necessary to comb their hair frequently, which is more time-consuming. The most important thing is food. Ragdoll cats are very good eaters. I feed them 5.4kg of Ikenna, which can basically be made in one o’clock in more than two weeks. In addition to canned food, cat strips, etc., the monthly cost is about 1k to 1.5k.
These two pictures are cat food when they are five months old. I also recommend Natural Halo. Some Ragdoll cats have glass stomachs. If they eat Natural Halo cat food, they will definitely not have diarrhea. The nutritional content is also good. The most important thing is that it is not expensive among imported cat food. 10 pounds is about 300 yuan after discount on JD.com.
In terms of health, in addition to the need for vaccines for terminal diseases such as feline plague and infectious peritonitis, the most important ones are common diseases such as feline rhinitis, feline conjunctivitis, and diarrhea. Sunuo, Bainduo eye drops, cat grass, etc. can be kept at home.
Another problem is ear mites. Do a good job of deworming, take Baichongqing orally, and use Aiwoker externally. For black chin, pay more attention to cleaning and replenishing water. It is also okay to feed some salmon scraps as a supplementary food.
The first on the left is what my Persian Ragdoll
looked like when it was a baby. If someone asks if it is possible to feed cats with raw meat and bones, my suggestion is not to feed cats with only raw meat and bones. My cat vomited crazily after eating raw meat and bones for a period of time. Later I learned that it was because I didn’t feed cat grass, and its stomach was full of cat hair, which it couldn’t digest. Raw meat and bones are good, but for the sake of convenience and health, it is better to feed better cat food.
In short, you must be patient when raising a ragdoll! This is
the first time I show off my cat on Zhihu. I have been fighting in the Three Kingdoms history circle before. I would like to ask for your advice from all cat lovers. It’s so sad .
