Owning a ragdoll cat should be a very satisfying partnership for both sides, yours because the ragdoll is cute, fluffy and likes to cuddle with you, and theirs because they look cute, fluffy and cuddle with you.

Ragdoll cats are very lovable creatures, usually very attached to their owners, and they demonstrate this attachment by following them around for days at a time. Trying to hide from a rag cat is useless as it will seek you out and punish you with more snuggles.

So having a ragdoll cat is inviting a wonderfully cuddly friend into your home – wonderful, but clingy. He is not an independent cat, he does not go away for days at a time, he does not leave; only to return to dinner instead, they stay close to their loved ones, rarely leaving your side, and insisting on as much attention as you choose to give them.

You do not have a ragdoll cat, it is part of your family, it is a close (furry) friend, who refuses to be seen as property, the ragdoll cat does not encourage ownership, but rather love and affection. Whether anyone can actually have a cat is up for debate, maybe a dog, but a cat, especially a ragdoll cat, chooses to live with you, not the other way around.

If you choose a ragdoll cat to be your friend, then you are choosing all of the wonderful and strange behaviors of this breed. A rag doll needs constant company, leave them alone for a long period of time and they get very angry, and will surely let you know when they return home, they have a tendency to get depressed if left alone for long periods of time. And nobody wants a depressed cat.

They are too trusting so you can’t just leave them out for a while, when they get a bit annoying as they get into all sorts of trouble. Plus, they cling to you almost constantly, so you’ll probably accidentally step on your rag doll more than once. With a rag doll, you have to be constantly on your toes!

Despite their laid-back temperament, they tend to be quite noisy creatures, especially if you’re working or watching TV. They’ll talk to you for hours, “meow this” and “meow that,” and you have no idea what they’re saying, so you just have to nod.

They tend to eat a lot, due to their rather large size, so they are almost always hungry, whatever you’re eating is fair game for a rag doll, after all, why not share?

But the truth is that a lot of ragdolls end up in rescue centers because the owners didn’t realize how codependent ragdolls can be, while most cats would be fine if someone fed them while you’re on vacation, a rag doll will have to be placed in a hatchery.

And, despite their apparent need for less grooming, many rag doll owners say regular grooming is still essential; otherwise expect a rag doll with knots and matted fur, maybe it all depends on what they do, either way, having a rag doll cat, or a rag doll possessing you is a big responsibility not to It should be taken lightly, but if you’re willing to put in the hours, you’ll end up with a truly delightful family pet for many, many years.
