I think most people have covered a lot of ground. For my part, I have two boys: a ragdoll and an exotic. I wanted a laidback, affectionate, docile and sweet cat but playful. They definetely but fulfill that! I'd say that my ragdoll is very codependant. Apparently, that's a trait of the...

Hi there, we went through intros not too long ago and it was quite stressfull! My supposed to be laidback ragdoll kitten (9 month) flipped out when I brought the new kitten (3 months exotic sh.). He growled and hissed at everyone and everything that smelled like the kitten. My hands, toys...

I totally understand you! My ragdoll Sal (9 months old) is really good with the box and only ever left anything uncovered if the box was full (e.g. if somehow i forgot one evening). My other kitten Iggy (exotic shorthair) is just plain bad! I wonder was his mom taught him He just leaves...

I'm in day two of the intro and suprised in many ways. Sal (8 months ragdoll) is a very gentle sweet cat. Finicky by times (not with food, more with routine) I expected a second cat would make him less lonely. He was fine but I sensed he missed something we couldnt provide. I picked him at...

I'm glad this worked for you!! I tried it and Sal decided it was like gettting a paw massage and would just wlak slowly and enjoy it

Sounds like he's trying to get your attention. The easiest suggestion, which you might have heard/will hear often, is to play for a very intense time (e.g. hour) before bed with interactive toys. The important thing is to transition him out of play with lowering the intensity of the play and...

So, After weeks (months) of debating, I am moving forward with getting a brother for Sal. Iâ€8482ve had him for 4 months (heâ€8482ll be 8 months when yet unnamed kitty 2 comes in) and I think heâ€8482ll be happier with a playmate. Heâ€8482s extremely social and pouts at the door when I leave...

When we brought Sal home at 14 weeks he wouldnâ€8482t even come out of his carrier (and I picked him at the breeder because he was the most playful and active!!). When we finally took him out, he stayed in his room for the first day and then I started leaving the door open to see if heâ€8482d...

I have a 7 month ragdoll kitten which is of course quite plump. I went to the vet yesterday for his runny nose and she commented on his “fullnessâ€. I stayed on a dry diet because I thought it was better (more protein, less fat) but she suggested a mix of both (1/4 to ½ can of wet food a...

For a little while my kitten has had a runny nose. I called the vet and they said that from the sound of it it should clear quickly without having to come in. It kinda did but started being runny again. I will get Sal in for a check up this week but here are a few observations up for comment...

Just a bit more info: According to the American Veterinary Medical Association: http://www.avma.org/communications/b...r_brochure.asp A dog or cat can be surgically altered at almost any age. Your veterinarian can advise you on the most appropriate time for your particular pet based upon its...

well, I'm a guy and I wouldnt be kept inside with a permanent urge to mate I didnt even think twice before I got Sal fixed because he will be much happier this way. And, you don't want your buddy to go around and impregnate all the ladies in the hood right? I'd hope you're the kind of guy...

Have you had him for long? Sal used to hide in his box every so often. He seemed to find it reassuring. I actually picked him at the breeder because he was chasing around a female half his size to play and when she turned around and hissed at him, he ran and jumped in the box. He seemed to...

So, Winter is setting in here and itâ€8482s getting quite cold! My ragdoll kitten (semi-long hair) Sal is brushed usually twice a week to avoid too much hair around the house (and furballs!!). Hereâ€8482s the trick, I use a small fine metal comb and Iâ€8482m getting lots of static! Now...

Well, it took me a while to find this site and now I'm totally hooked! It's been great to read-up about everybody's experience. This is my first cat and I'm often confused as to interact with him. Luckily, he's an adorable ragdoll kitten and quite the cuddler. At 6 months he's already well...

Welcome to the TCS! I can relate to you, I have never had a cat but my spouse did as a child. I find that the TCS can provide almost live assistance and almost everything you encounter has been discussed here! It's a great support. As for breeds, I would consult the CFA ...

Discipline and cats can be tricky. I have a ragdoll kitten and even if he's the sweetest thing ever, it happenned he got out of control. The time out is useful to calm down, and make a social breed realise that certain behaviors mean they wont be around you. In this case though it might be...

Sal raids the kitchen floor for pieces of broccoli, salad, or anything else that falls down. He also LOVES to eat his hair (he's semi-long hair) when I brush him I'll put the clumps of hair in the trash but sometimes they float to the floor and he'll just snack on it. He also loves dust and...

When we brought Sal back from the breeder, we werent too sure on the name. His face is a bit panda/racoon -esque so I wanted somehting related but in the end we settled for Salvatore. Sal wouldnt come out of the carrier, he stayed there for over 2 hours and when we finally took him out he just...

Kittens are like babies, not very good at the holding it in thing... It might be like sharing a diaper!! It's usually recommended to have at least one box per cat and then an extra one. You might want to try that! As for the crazies, I'm pretty sure they'll outgrow it. Can you kitten...
