😻 Ragdoll

Meet the Ragdoll

Ragdolls are the laid back sweethearts of the cat world. They often go limp when held, which gives them their name, and they bond closely with their families. A gentle, indoor life suits them best.

Docile, affectionate, and people focused. Ragdolls tend to be quiet and love a calm, predictable home.

Your first 30 days together

These breed aware tips sit on top of the core plan. Follow them alongside your day by day guide for the smoothest possible start.

• Keep the environment calm, as Ragdolls dislike chaos
• Start gentle grooming to manage that silky coat
• Offer soft resting spots at a low height
• Play daily to keep a mellow cat active and fit
• Keep your Ragdoll indoors for safety, as they trust readily

Grooming and coat care

Brush a few times a week to keep the silky coat free of tangles. The coat lacks a heavy undercoat, so it mats less than some long haired breeds.

Health notes to keep in mind

Share these with your vet at the first visit. They are common points for the breed, not a diagnosis, and your vet is always the best guide for your individual pet.

• Ask your vet about heart screening common in the breed
• Watch weight, as a calm cat can gain easily
• Keep grooming steady to avoid tangles near the belly
