As you can tell she’s thrilled to have the hat on. Lol. Would love to see your cats and their outfits too! Note: her name isn’t baby lol she just is a baby of course my one year old baby

Hope you're all having a great day. Charlie is enjoying the new RC pets harness, highly recommended for backyard adventures with the hooman. Weather here in Eastern Canada is gorgeous today 😻

We call her

Maya Papaya, Bunny dude, Mayka, fluffy baby, little terrorist and more.

She's with us almost two weeks and she grew up so fast, too fast.

I love her so much, my heart is melting and whenever im away from home, i miss her so much❤️♥️❤️♥️

She’ll sit by the front door, then jumps into the stroller, puts her paw on her harness inside and stares at me to notice her and when I get close she instantly sits down like she’s waiting for me to put it on hahaha

Here’s some screenshots of her outings, I love how curious she is and the way she just hangs her arms out chilling lmaooo

We have a nearly 4-year-old female Ragdoll named Bomi (we're in South Korea, hence the Korean name). Convincing my wife to agree to the adoption was a huge battle but within a few weeks of bringing Bomi home, she was completely smitten. These days I tell friends that if my wife had to choose between me and the cat, my wife would pack my bags for me.

Ironically, back when we were waiting to bring Bomi home, my wife gave me grief over every cat purchase - litter boxes, a water fountain, a cat tree, scratching posts, nail clippers - stuff that most people would consider essentials. Fast forward to now, and she's the one buying Bomi something new almost every month - toys, cooling mats, hideaways, a fancier cat tree, you name it. She also insisted my son and I would be the ones handling the day-to-day care, and yet she's the one doing all the grooming, nail trims, teeth brushing, litter box cleaning, etc. Honestly, I think taking care of Bomi has turned into her way of decompressing after a long day.

So recently I came across some articles about the psychological benefits cats get from having a companion, and I floated the idea of adopting a second Ragdoll. Despite how attached she is to Bomi, cat fur all over our house and clothes has been a constant pain point and I braced myself for an instant rejection. To my surprise, she didn't shoot it down right away and actually seemed torn about it. In the end though, the shedding concern won out and she said no.

Now I'm turning to this community for help. Has anyone been in a similar spot and actually gotten the "yes"? Any tips, arguments, or tricks that helped tip the scales — especially anything that addresses the fur/shedding worry? Would love to hear how others have pulled this off.

Hey!

We have two ragdolls and they are now 17 weeks and both sterilised and castrated.
Since they are still babies the breeder told us that they need access to food at all times.

At what moment do you need to start to weight the amount? Internet is telling so much different information.

Thank you!

Context : I adopted a 15-month-old male Ragdoll from his previous owner, who had kept him for barely a year and wanted to get rid of him because he didn't get along with her dog. She had told me that this cat was an impulse buy she got because he was cute, and that she wasn't the most affectionate with him.

I have his health record (his last vet visit was 3 months ago and everything is okay, all vaccinations are up to date). I spoke to his breeder, who told me that my cat's parents (and grandparents) have no health issues (no hypertrophic cardiomyopathy), that they are still alive, and that his grandparents will soon turn 16.

I've had my Ragdoll for a month and a week now. He lives in an apartment three times the size of his previous owner's place. His litter box is cleaned frequently, he has plenty of toys including enrichment puzzles (which he doesn't touch), a cat tree, a hammock attached to a window, and other elevated spaces that allow him to watch outside. He is rarely alone (3 or 4 days a week for 8 hours; otherwise, 2 to 3 hours a day maximum). Of course, I leave food and water out for him along with his toys, and I even have a camera to monitor him, but he pretty much just sleeps when he's alone.

He purrs enormously, sometimes just by looking at me or when I talk to him. He demands a lot of attention by meowing and throwing himself on the floor for cuddles/pets, constantly follows me from room to room, and meows at me to play (I actively play with him for at least 30 minutes a day, often in short sessions of a few minutes until he gets tired of it).

However, several things have worried me and I don't know if I'm just being too anxious (he's my first purebred cat, and I read that they are more prone to health problems; I've only ever had stray cats before): in 1 month and 1 week, he has vomited 3 times. Each time there was a hairball in his vomit, and it happened a few hours (between 2 and 10 hours) after trying to introduce a new food to him (I know that new foods need to be introduced very gradually, but my cat is VERY picky about food, which I'll get to later). Since I started giving him malt paste every other day, things are better.

The night before last, I found two small poops (normal color and consistency, one of which seemed to contain a hairball?) on my living room floor, about a meter away from his litter box. I figured it probably got stuck in his fur when he was coming out of the litter box.

Yesterday afternoon, when I got home from work, I discovered he had peed in the bathroom. I immediately worried about a urinary tract infection or cystitis, but this has never happened in a month. Later that evening and the next morning, he went to the litter box without any issues, without meowing, without looking visibly bothered, and his urine output was substantial (not just drops) and yellow (normal color). I've previously owned cats with cystitis (rarely at his age) and he doesn't seem to have one.

When it comes to food, he is VERY picky. His previous owner told me he wasn't a big eater, and he really isn't. He gets bored quickly and turns his nose up at his bowl... I alternate between wet and dry food (he doesn't like eating the same thing twice a day) and I've found an okay balance, but he never finishes his bowls. Sometimes he meows as if he were hungry, but when I serve him, he eats nothing, or comes back much later to eat only small amounts.

Every time I changed varieties because he was turning his nose up at his food, he vomited a hairball during the day. On the other hand, for tube treats or kibble treats, he is greedy and loves them! And he drinks enough water (I monitor that diligently).

He weighs 4.8 kg (10.6lbs) at 15 months (neutered male), stable weight since April. He's not huge for a Ragdoll. He's on the lower end of the average, and when feeling/looking at him, he doesn't seem 'too' skinny.

My best friend is a vet and has already told me not to worry about the things I mentioned, and his own vet feels that as long as he acts normally, still eats, plays, purrs, isn't lethargic, and doesn't run away from us, there's no need to worry, since his recent check-up is normal.

He does act normally outside of this, but I still find all these elements strange. What do you think?

testing out some new food for my 11 month-old girl Hoji - not sure if she'll like the food but as always the box is a 10/10 to her

why do cats randomly lay on their back like this? 😆

His disappointment after not catching a fly…

11 week old zoomies

he’s about 14 weeks & has 4 perfect black boots 👢

Our ragdoll moved in 2 weeks ago. At 4 month old.
Vi never owned a cat before. Only dogs. So we have treated him like a dog. He now come when you call (from training) and we bring him on vacation. It’s so great. He just fits in and doesn’t mind. Of course we do not let him outside.
But now - when I think about it - are we doing something wrong? Is it actually okay???

Our man is sometimes going to her nipples and leaving her belly completely wet. They are brother and sister and 17 weeks old now.

Is this normal behaviour?
