Socializing Your Ragdoll Cat
Feb 16th, 2006 by Rob
Cats appreciate stability in their lives. Changes in their surroundings or routine can influence their behavior. Cats can adapt to new surroundings; it may just take a while.
Introducing a new Ragdoll cat into your home can be stressful for your existing pets. Your existing cat may hide or ignore the new cat; some act up to try and force the new animal away. There are steps you can take to ease the introduction.
Provide your new Ragdoll cat an area where they can hide if threatened by your other pets. You may want to isolate your new cat in a room of your house with the door closed. This will allow all your pets to adjust to their scents without coming in contact with each other. Provide a separate food and water and litter box in this isolated area.
It is a good idea to maintain separate litter boxes in households with multiple cats to prevent disputes over territory. You should also provide scratching posts in as many rooms of your house as possible.
Ragdoll Cats Owner Guide: Learn How to Easily Train, Feed, Care For & Groom Your Ragdoll Cats
Hello. I have a beautifull Ragdoll female cat, Candy. Really soon, I will take home another cat, a male, a Cornish Rex. I’m concerned about socializing.
What if they will not get along? Is there a set of rules that I have to take in consideration? I mention that my Candy has 11 months, she is very sweet, young, but still the owner of the house. He is 3 or 4 months old, very calm and easygoing.
I want to take this step, because Candy is home alone most of the time and I feel her lonelyness. Ofcourse that cats don’t feel like humains, but still I’m afraid she will change if she continues to stay alone. Do you think I am doing the right thing? What are the things I should do now? Thank you very much. Keep doing the right things you do.
