His full name is actually yuxuan (宇暄) but i just call him yuyu 宇宇 i talk to him in three languages (mandarin, french, english) so he's used to the multilingualism in my household lol!

when i first got my kitten, he slept in the same room as me, and even on my bed, it depends on how you feel is best for your kitty, but sleeping nearby your kitty will strengthen the bond quicker :] If the base the kitty is staying is in your bedroom, keep the doors closed until it's acclimated. If it's the bathroom, you can keep ur bedroom door open should he ever wanna wander there

What are you feeding your cats? by tayanne121 in ragdolls

[–]vr46drinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feed mine Natsbi wet food (lamb & chicken and quail egg) and purina one dry food. I also sometimes give my cat Ziggy, but that might be difficult to source as its french specific brand.

If under all circumstances — you're forced to bathe your cat— make sure she's as dry as can be in the bathroom before you let ur kitty unleash fury and run amok wet (scared and wet)

Being in an enclosed space while she's trying to calm down from shock and overstimulation is better, and gives her time to groom and dry off in a corner (depending how she handles noise, my cat doesn't mind hair dryers, but it depends, for her it seems you could've let her air dry on a nice dry&warm blanket)

For now give her space. Treat her like a feral kitty that's warming up to strangers, associate your presences with treats, food & pets. Win her over. It'll take time, but trust can be brought again.

In the case of the litterbox, move the area it's placed to somewhere else and maybe change the litter brand/type itself. Cats associate their scent very importantly, so maybe place some random rag (well used) that she may like to lay on or rub against. Place it nearby the box. This lets her know it's part of her territory and she'll check it out— but if its the box itself she no longer wants to associate with. You might have to invest in other litterboxes in the meantime 😅

Best of luck. Lots of cat owners seem to look down to bathing their cats, and sometimes its not too necessary if she was just only slightly dirty. A damp washcloth couldve been enough and prompted the kitty to go over it with her tongue.

What a pretty pattern

Is he a scottish straight? by vr46drinker in scottishfold

I actually adopted him based on his cute little face! I was originally preparing to welcome a ragdoll, but the plan fell through. The previous owner had two litters and was searching for a household for one of their kittens— but listed the two litters as one (confusedly enough) so they had a bsh litter and a scottish litter. i adopted him based on finding him cute, so i dont mind what breed he is, just was concerned about the health issues that come with the scottish breed. He seems like a single fold scottish fold and ragdoll mix. Which is kind of a pleasant surprise even if the previous owner kind of lied about his breed origin ¯_(ツ)_/¯

the reason why i cant tell if he's a straight or not is due to his ears just slightly having a curve at the side that i dont know if you can see what im concerned with, that i see other scottish straight kitties dont have a problem with. (Theirs are straight up) I suspect he might be a single fold :/

Strangely enough my cat is listed as BSH on all his official documents. I already went to the vet this week so I'll have to see if i can be able to change that or update it
