Hi there,
Linn from www.ragdoll.co.za has sent us an email pointing out that some of the breed profile needs to be modified. Please feel free to visit her site for a more detailed profile, as the content included here is just touching on the complexities of this cute cat breed.
Here are some things to point out, quoted from Linn's site:
They also enjoy the company of other pets, including dogs. Due to Ragdolls being trusting, they should never ever be allowed to roam the neighbourhood where they could get into harm's way.
Ragdolls have a soft, medium length coat which sheds just like any other cat breed. Regular grooming assists in removing loose, dead hairs and preventing hairballs and mats.
All cats love to be outdoors and there is no harm in letting them do so - on condition that they are confined to a cat escape-proof and extremely safe outdoor area. --- you can see some of these enclosures on the www.ragdoll.co.za website.
Have a wonderful weekend!
