Do Ragdolls Like Their Litter Box in Privacy?

Friday, March 15, 2013 by Jenny Dean

Charlie in NVR Miss Litter BoxThe Ragdoll breed of cats is very different from other cats in many ways, however, just like other cats, they prefer their litter box to be in a private area. Your best bet when you bring home a new kitten is to first use the same litter as the person you got the kitten from was using. Switching litter so quickly on a kitten can irritate their skin and make them not want to use the litter box. it also helps to provide a litter box as close as possible to the one they had been using so as not to confuse them.

Your new Ragdoll cat will love your attention of course, but when he's new to the home, he'll also want some privacy. It's important that he have his own designated space. While kittens will grow to appreciate stimulating and open atmospheres eventually, they at first seek calm and quiet. At the same time, when it comes to litter boxes, your Ragdoll cat's desire for a clean one in a private space is not likely to change. Having this designated area to relieve themselves soothes them and makes it easier for them to go. Think about it: if you were in a crowded area with people talking, would you really want to choose this place for using the bathroom?

Chances are no!  Cats are just like us in many ways. Rag Doll kittens and cats alike don't want to do something so private in public. It's also a survival instinct. Before cats were domesticated, it would have been silly for them to use the bathroom around other animals because it could leave them open to attack. Survival is a very important instinct for Ragdolls and other cats alike. It is important for us as humans to respect that.

Rag doll Cat Adoption - Whether a Rescue or a Kitten - Resources to Help Your Find Your Soulmate

Monday, August 29, 2011 by Amanda W
When it is time to add to or start your Ragdoll family the question of whether or not to adopt a kitten or rescue an older Ragdoll always arises.  Those who rescue older Ragdolls are true godsends, but nothing is cuter than a beautiful little ball of fluff that is a kitten. 

If you decide on a kitten then you must decide whether it will be a show cat or not.  This will help you decide on a breeder versus other avenues to locate a kitten.  While not all kittens from breeders will be show cats some breeders are better known for show cats then others.

Kittens and older cats can also be found at local shelters or rescue organizations if you are willing to look.  Call or go online to see if any Ragdolls are available.  Remember Ragdolls are often mistaken for other breeds.

No matter what you decide to do as far as a cat or kitten make sure your home is ready for the newest addition.  Have a cat window bed for your new friend to relax in and maybe a lotus cat tree to scratch on.  A few cat snacks are never a bad idea either. Enjoy your new addition.

Scoopfree Litter

Friday, June 10, 2011 by Anna Kho
Sisal Cat Scratching PostsWhen you want to do away with scooping your cat's litter box after each use to spend more time with your bicolor Ragdoll, for example, then you are looking for an automatic cat litter box like the Scoopfree. This an automatic self-cleaning litter box that does all the scooping for you.

Measuring 27.4 x 19 x 7 inches, the Scoopfree Litter has Premium Blue crystals that absorb urine and leaves the solid waste, waiting to be scooped out by its rake. The rake runs on a timer which you can set for 5, 10 or 20 minutes delay after a cat uses the box.

The Scoopfree Litter Box uses a disposable tray that you can replace after a certain time (dependent on how many Rag Doll kittens or cats use the litter box) and has an infrared sensor to determine when a cat is using it.

You can get the Scoopfree Litter for $99.99 with free shipping under Amazon's Super Saver Shipping.

360 Pet Fountain

Monday, August 9, 2010 by Floppycats Team
360 Pet FountainThis pet fountain is one of the best cat products ever. It has 5 flowing, continuous steams of water, which can be customized to change the size of the steam by replacing the spout rings. No matter from what angle your pet approaches it from, they can drink their aerated water.

The 360 Pet Fountain will make your pet cat want to drink more water, as what they drink is not stagnant and has been charcoal filtered. When water is constantly circulated, the growth of harmful bacteria is inhibited. It is easy to clean and runs off electricity. 

Water is vital to the health of your pet and by giving them this 360 Pet Fountain, you can provide them good quality drinking water.

If you have a two or more new Rag Doll kittens, there is more than enough room for them to share one 360 Pet Drinking Fountain, and it will save you a lot of time and energy having to refill their water bowl. You can place this anywhere in your home and after your cat eats, they are surely going to love their new source of water.

Animal Haven's Cat-stravaganza

Thursday, July 22, 2010 by Ragdoll Cat Stories
Ragdoll RescueAnimal Haven is waiving ALL adoption fees on adult cats to approved adopters throughout the summer months!

Animal Haven’s cat adoption package includes:
  • all vaccinations
  • FIV/FeLV testing
  • microchipping
  • spay/neuter surgery
  • flea and tick prevention
That's a value estimated at $400! Approximately 4 million homeless cats end up in animal shelters every year in the United States. By adopting from a shelter, you’ll be saving a life! And — having a cat can reduce your blood pressure and prevent heart disease.

Don’t have a lot of room? Cats are perfect pets for apartments and smaller homes. And — cats get plenty of exercise living indoors. Just 15 minutes of playtime each day will satisfy a cat. Animal Haven Merriam, KS adoptions@animalhavenkc.org http://www.animalhavenkc.org/

Name: Lynne Chiu

E-mail: lchiu@animalhavenkc.org

We also have Ragdoll rescue cats available.  We recently had a two Ragdolls cats surrendered by their owner because of his poor health - we would love to find great homes for these Rag doll kittens.
