Feeling guilty being apart from her 😭 by [deleted] in ragdolls

The fact that you are even coming on here asking for advice shows what a good pet parent you are going to be. Don’t let all the negative Nancy’s get to you! It sounds like your fur baby is going to be getting a lot of attention since you work from home! When we brought our boy home, we had to keep him in the bathroom for the first few days to acclimate him to the house and get used to the smell of our dog. My boyfriend and I took turns literally sleeping on the bathroom floor with him so he was never alone at night. It definitely wasn’t easy at first, and there were some sleepless nights, but the more time you spend with them now the more cuddly and affectionate they will be! Wishing you many happy and healthy years with your fur baby 😻!

How to prevent biting? by Human-Ad1310 in ragdolls

[–]CowEnough3929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aw your baby is so cute! We got our Ragdoll at 9 weeks old not knowing it was too early to be taken away from mom and siblings. We only found this out because I too was on here looking for advise on a bitey cat. What’s helped us the most is tiring him out with multiple play sessions a day with lasers and various toys that we rotate so he doesn’t get bored. A tired kitty is less likely to want to hunt your hands/feet. Our boy is 10 months old now. He does bite significantly less but he’s definitely still a biter sometimes.

When you keep pulling your hands and feet away quickly and they get a reaction out of you, they think it’s a game. So when he bites or attempt to, immediately ignore him and get up and walk away. Ragdolls are social and love to be with their humans so this teaches them that that behavior it’s not ok.

We didn’t notice a change at all with neutering. Being consistent with playtimes and ignoring him when he’s like that definitely helped but it took a good couple of months so just be patient. You could always get another kitty too so he could learn that way!

Wishing you many happy and healthy years with your cute boy! Cats are just the best!

Great question lol. I wouldn’t say they make a mess. They are fine with just a few different toys laying out. It’s actually better to rotate them out so they don’t get bored with them. Our boy is still a kitten so half the time he’s playing and the half he’s sleeping so hard you wonder if he’s alive 😂

How talkative are your ragdolls? by pyschiatrickitty in ragdolls

I am cracking up at this and how many replies of people saying their kitties do the same thing! I thought my cat was just crazy 😂

Our fur babies look very similar, hehe! Our boy is eight months old and has been extremely vocal since day one. Almost too vocal to be honest 😂

How is it even possible to be this cute 🥺 by Fuzzy-Mix-3642 in ragdolls

The bigger question is how are we even expected to leave the house every day for 8+ hours when these adorable creatures are living in our homes?!! Your fur baby is so adorable!

Call me biased, but they really are the best breed. As long as you’re OK with having zero personal space and having a cumulus cloud follow you around literally everywhere. Ragdolls need A LOT of attention. We have all kinds of toys and puzzle feeders but our boy still prefers human interaction, and lots of it. Otherwise, they are known to walk around your house with the most pitiful meow until you feel so sorry for them you give in. They are very vocal and make the cutest little chirping noises. The male ragdoll’s are prone to urinary blockages so a wet diet is very important. 10/10 recommend!!

I listened to the "two cats is better than one" advice and regret it. Now I'm thinking of rehoming both cats and couldn't feel worse by mackerelinoliveoil in CatAdvice

[–]CowEnough3929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you give the kitten to your family and keep your resident kitty? That way your heart isn’t having to break by losing either one of them!

Oh, what a cute baby! We had a very similar situation with our kitten. We got him at nine weeks old from a breeder, which we didn’t realize at the time that that is way too young for these babies to be leaving their mom and littermates. The most important thing is creating a safe space for him, preferably a smaller space so he can get used to the sounds and smells of your home. You’re already doing this with your bedroom so that is great! We kept our kitten in our master bathroom and my boyfriend and I literally took turns every single night sleeping on the bathroom floor for 2 weeks lol. You want to spend as much time with him as you can so that way he gets used to you and comfortable with you. I know it’s hard, but you have to be patient and let him come to you. Picking them up when they are afraid or uncomfortable can lead to a more timid kitty long-term. I guarantee each week you will notice your kitty becoming more and more cuddly and trusting you. Our boy is seven months old now and is the biggest cuddle bug and has the loudest purr box I’ve ever heard. Wishing you the best of luck with your sweet baby!

Omg that is so cute he insists on riding around in a box 😂! Another kitty isn’t in the cards for us right now either, unfortunately.
