Ragdoll Cats

Does your Ragdoll cat turn its nose up at mealtimes? Finicky mealtime behavior can be a difficult problem to overcome. Here are some tips to help you overcome finicky eating habits.

Are You Changing Your Ragdoll’s Food?

If you frequently change your Ragdoll cat’s food, that could be the source of your problem. If your cat doesn’t like one type of food you provide, it may wait to see what the next kind of food you offer is. If you have one type of food your Ragdoll eats, do not change it.

Do You Like Providing Variety in Your Ragdoll’s Diet?

If you feed your cat a variety of foods it can come to expect that variety all the time. Feeding your cat scraps from the table or other human foods can cause finicky habits when it comes to cat food. Premium cat foods are balanced for the nutritional needs of your cat; adding people food to the mix will upset this balance and could make your Ragdoll obese.

Are Your Children Slipping Your Ragdoll Cat Scraps at the Table?

If a family member is slipping your Ragdoll cat people food this could be the cause of the finicky behavior. People food upsets the nutritional balance of your cat’s food. These excess calories may be the reason your cat has no appetite for cat food. If a family member is pampering your Ragdoll cat with treats and you stop this activity, your Ragdoll may start eating the cat food normally.

Is Your Ragdoll Cat Eating Out of the Garbage?

If you suspect your cat may be eating out of the garbage this could be the source of the finicky eating behavior. Some cats raid the trash regardless of how well they eat. This is a potentially dangerous behavior that could make them very sick. To stop your cat from eating the trash, use a trashcan with a tight fitting lid. Keep your Ragdoll cat indoors at all time to prevent it from eating your neighbor’s trash.
