I am already brushing them everyday, but it doesn't seem to help much. Could it be their diet? HELP! Both of my ragdolls shed like crazy too and it’s making me crazy….any suggestions on what to do.

She cleans herself all of the time-pratically all day long.The one spot she can not get is under her front legs which is matted. She is not a very trusting sole and we have only had her for one month. Her previous owner said that she loved to be brushed. May be so with him, but not with us. One look at the brush and she is under the bed. So to the groomer she goes. And shed, oh baby she sheds like crazy. The only good thing about the shedding is her hair matches our carpet!!

He has learned the word "brush" and rolls over to get brushed several times a day and no more matting. Your cat is aggressive for some reason and you should become the "cat whisperer" to him. ie: lie on the floor and meow to him and have a treat for him when he comes. Play with him with a toy or piece of yarn. He'll learn to trust you and when you hold him and say "brush" and begin to lightly brush him especially around his face, he'll learn to love it.<br /> Good luck!<br /> /Nancy Our ragdoll used to have mats under his legs which I couldn’t brush out and had to cut out.

I noticed that it said they shed very little and do not mat..... mine sheds and MATS!! Badly and he doesnt let me groom him or brush them out....he bites me and scratches me. I got him from an owner that passed away but his sister said he is a purebreed ragdoll....she never found the papers on him to send to me though. I can send you a picture if you would like to see him. I was reading up on ragdolls and their grooming. I noticed that it said they shed very little and do not mat…..
