WHY ADOPT RAGDOLL CATS?

---

Ragdoll cats are simply gorgeous!  Accompanied by rounded cheeks, the faces of Ragdolls can easily be described as sweet.

The coat of a Ragdoll is soft, fluffy and has a pointed coloring. This means that the cat’s body has a darker color in certain areas such as the face, ears, legs, and tail.

The four main patterns for Ragdolls are mitted, colorpoint, bi-color and van, and these patterns can be adorned in colors like blue, chocolate, seal, cream, lilac and red.

With so many potential permutations, your beautiful Ragdoll will certainly be unique in its appearances.

Some cats are more intelligent than others, and Ragdolls are known to be very intelligent kitties. To prove this point, Ragdolls are able to learn simple tricks. For example, they can be taught to play fetch or come when called by the name.

Some have even been trained to walk on a leash! (By the way, we show you how you can train your Ragdoll cat to walk on a leash here!)

Ragdoll cats also smart enough to communicate in ways that humans can somehow understand. If they are very hungry, they won’t hesitate to vocalize with a sweet meow. When a Ragdoll cat wants attention, it might come and sit right in front of you, giving no care that it’s restricting your access to your laptop or books.

Ragdoll kittens and cats can help children with special need or autism since animals don’t judge and are good listeners. This will enable the child to practice social skills without feeling embarrassed before his/her pet, which builds trust, and the child can interact well with his or her peers and social settings.

Cats help autistic children improve their social skills by teaching them empathy and selflessness. Since pets have no hidden motives or changes in mood, they can help children cope with emotions and tolerate others. The early introduction of cats to children with autism allows them to be confident and confident, which are vital social skills. When you decide to get a cat for your child, remember selecting a loving, outgoing RAGDOLL.

Ragdolls thrive in a multi-cat household as they are friendly and non-territorial. These kitties will gladly welcome friends in the same house – as long as the new member is friendly too, of course.

Are you thinking of adopting a Ragdoll into a house with a dog? Or are you thinking of adopting a dog to live alongside your Ragdoll?

Luckily, Ragdoll cats can get along well with cat-friendly dogs.

Dog breeds that fall into this category include:

• Beagle
• Bulldog
• Collie
• Golden Retriever
• Papillon
• Pug

These are the dogs that are known to be sociable enough to actually make friends with a cat! If you’re keen to witness a blossoming cat-dog friendship, this is your chance.

 As mentioned previously, Ragdolls like to sit (or even sleep) on people’s laps. They are happy to laze on you for hours as you watch the TV. They might even start to knead, showing you how contented they feel. 

Ragdoll cats have a gentle nature. They rarely extend their claws even if you accidentally frighten them. It’s almost as if they are forgiving. These are the kind of cats that you never have to be afraid of.

They are always calm, laid-back, and just as sweet as their little voices. Truly, Ragdoll cats are a gentle giant that would make the ideal pet for an elderly individual.

If you work from home and prefer to have a cat that spends most of its time lounging indoors with you, then Ragdolls would be it. These dependent kitties are more than happy to be kept indoors.

These cats are also low maintenance. You might have the assumption that the coat of Ragdoll cats requires a lot of care. This is not true. You’ll find that a Ragdoll cat’s coat stays silky with just a bit of grooming.

This is because while Ragdolls have long guard hairs, they do not have a thick undercoat – and the undercoat is the layer that has a tendency to mat when not brushed regularly.
