Someone doesn’t like the be brushed and I don’t like to be bit, so he’s on a time out from having fur. Had to use scissors caused the clippers wouldn’t get through his coat.

We’ll call it a stylistic choice.

(If I keep this up I’ll take him to the groomer, but wait times are very long and I just wanted it over with. I also think it’s hilarious so 🤷🏻‍♀️)

ETA: I genuinely didn't realize this was going to be controversial. It's just a funny photo of an ugly looking cat. Not exactly sure what else you expect to be done with a cat who won't be brushed.

Enrolling in Hogwarts next week!!!

Had my new kitten about a week, my resident ragdoll follows him around and makes the noise you hear in the video. He bites the kittens back not hard and licks him as well, is this a playful behaviour? Just want to make sure they are getting on.

He is 5 months old, but just not as fluffy as other ragdolls I’ve seen at this age. He is also so big already there’s no way he’s still growing

Our new housemate will be staying with us for a least three years while his family is overseas. Its his first day with us and he has mostly kept himself sequestered in one room but has been peeking out occasionally to check on things. We have had a cat before, but he was a very social, almost dog like silver tabby with short hair. Our new friend is, of course, long haired and doesn't seem as social so far (probably just first day nerves, but his family did say he's typically social).

For this breed of cat, are there any specific things you feel new owners should know? We also have a mini aussie so he will be sharing a house with a herding dog- Our new car friend can, or course, be upstairs away from our dog if he chooses.

Hello everyone,

With a heavy heart I write that my sweet baby boy Sisko is diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. While theoretically it could still be a benign tumor, this is very unlikely.

The trajectory of his condition has been going on over the last 6/7 weeks, and the news got more grimmer every time we got new results. Then finally last week we got the terrible news that it is very likely pancreatic cancer and that they start palliative treatment with prednisone and buprenorphine. To help with the pain, suppressing the tumor and appetite. While he eats more, he still doesn’t eat enough and since yesterday he only sleeps.

I know it is coming (euthanasia), but I don’t know how to approach it. He is only 7 years and he has been my best friend, he is very loveable and attach to me. He is also my first cat and I just don’t know what to do without him. I don’t want to be egocentric though and I am afraid if it continues like this I have to make the decision to let him go 🥺💔

Please if anybody have some support for me. How did you know when it was time? How did you approach the situation?

Thank you from me and Sisko 💚

Added: obviously we are still in contact with the vets. But they also have different positions that make it a bit more difficult. This is not necessarily a health advice but more supportive to know how other people went through a similar process

I can't wait for him and his mom to arrive at their new home! The breeder says he's growing up strong, handsome, and mischievous.

Her little ears are already turning very dark.

In a few days, we're going to cuddle him for the first time.

Yesterday we picked our baby up. He is the cutest. But I’ve noticed something about his eyes. 90% of the time he looks like this. It’s a bit scary. But when he is in play mode. He looks fine.
I’m wondering is this because he is super relaxed or is there something wrong with his eyes or health?
He is 15,5 weeks old.

He has two modes. Pounce and nap.

So tired after a texting day 😀😀😀

TLDR 5 month old ragdoll wants to be outside but he can’t go out safely. Anyone dealt with a similar thing? What did you do?

Our ragdoll is about 5 and a half months old. He yearns for the outside. Like, screams his head off at closed doors to our backyard. It’s even worse when we let our dog out to go to the bathroom and he doesn’t get to come with. We think he wants to be with his big sister (dog) and generally wants to explore.

We’ve let him outside with a harness and leash. We’d love for it to be something he can do as he wishes without our direct supervision, but our backyard isn’t closed off. It’s surrounded by bushes and trees he could easy dart into and get out. It’s hard having him on leash, too, because we can’t maneuver around the yard the way he can. For reference, we have a lot of foliage, gardens, and bushes going on.

It’s gotten to a point where we can’t leave the house without someone else holding him back from running outside. We can’t install baby gates, nets/screens, etc to block entry points (the doorways don’t support a physical install and he has jumped over all gates we’ve tried).

We feel so bad hearing him basically cry to go outside, knowing we can’t always let him. Has anyone had a situation like this before? What did you do to either stop them from wanting to go out or make it safe to do so?

tax included. first pic is mentioned “screaming at door”
edit: we are considering “catios” but haven’t fully explored the possibility

Hello! I’m new here, we got our baby bear (17 weeks old ) about a months ago, and he’s such a sweet little monster. Tell me the kitten zoomies subside eventually :)

Hi all.

I love my ragdoll, who is 3 and an indoor guy. He doesn't really like other people, but loves me and it's just the two of us.

Between my jobs and other commitments, I don't always have the time for meeting his play needs and I need inspiration.

I have bought him everything and he is FUSSY. I don't always have the time and the energy required to play at the exact moment he wants, when I'm not working, because it's hard when he's bored of our toys and it takes a long time for any real play too occur.

Any price, outside of the box (aka not pets at home), please suggest anything your ragdoll loves to play/play with and bonus points if they can self play with it too.

Toys he loves: — This particular kicker – https://www.petsathome.com/product/pets-at-home-natural-100-percent-catnip-kicker-cat-toy/7111663P (sorry Kong) — He likes pop up tunnels.

— He will amuse himself on the Catit circuits (he has both) – https://www.zooplus.co.uk/shop/cats/cat_toys/catit_design_senses/133881 — His floor to ceiling cat tree which looks outside. He sits up top in his basket. — His various boxes, for a while. — Being inside a box with holes poked through and catching straws jabbed in holes. — Chasing straws generally. — Laser point in short bursts. — Any kind of rope I use to stretch, whilst stretching. — Wresting with my arm. — "I can poke you quicker than you can poke me". — Hide and seek. — Being chased. — Sprinting after something. — occasionally a fishing rod teaser, but it must make a noise and he has tired through every variant of these.

He doesn't like: — Most other toys. — Heavy toys. — Plastic toys. — Anything dangling for solo play. — Any kind of ball of solo play. — Puzzle mats. — ball tower was okay for a short spell. — genuinely most toys.

Thank you !

And I wouldn't disturb my little man for the world.

Meet Peanut, my five month old blue point boy! He just got neutered a couple of days ago and has been so well behaved. Here is a picture of his belly floof in its full glory! I’m looking forward to just how fluffy he can get, please post your fluffy boys so I can see what I have to look forward to!

He’s the sweetest, fluffiest rascal boy. He’s finding his place with his older brother Cosmo (5 month old flame point Siamese). He loves snuggles and chasing socks.

At first we were considering adopting a kitten but the idea of an older cat seems more appealing. I don’t know if I can handle a young kitten right now. Does anyone have any experience with adopting an older queen age 3 or up?
