What medicine should be kept at home when raising a cat?
0 Jul 26,2025
For the same Ragdoll cat with pure blood, the price difference between them is very big due to the different appearance. The genes of Ragdoll cats are very unstable, especially bicolor Ragdoll cats with symmetrical appearance are very rare. Therefore, a plug-level two-color Ragdoll cat is relatively more expensive than a key-color Ragdoll cat. If you just like the personality of Ragdoll cats and keep them as pets at home, you might as well buy a pet-grade Ragdoll cat. (Neutered Ragdoll cats are relatively cheaper) Male cats are usually larger than female cats. Ragdoll cats are large cats with strong bodies and well-developed muscles. Males weigh 5-9KG and females weigh 4.5-6.5KG. If you don't want your cat to breed, it's best to have surgery.
1. Different breeds of Ragdoll cats
1. Two-color puppet
It is usually the "most standard" puppet in people's minds. It looks like it has swam in a pool of butter, and its face looks like it has just had a big meal. The four paws, abdomen, chest and the inverted V-shaped part of the face of the two-color puppet are all white, and there may also be one or two white spots on the back. Only their tails, ears, and parts other than their V-shaped markings will show darker colors.
She has a basically symmetrical figure-shaped face, her four legs are basically pure white, and her nose and soles are pink. Of course, not every two-color puppet has perfectly symmetrical horoscopes on its face. And some of the white will reach the top of the head, and some of the white will only reach the bridge of the nose.
2. Key color puppets
The trunk is lighter in color with darker color spots, and has a classic Siamese cat pattern, which is very similar to the traditional Siamese. It is characterized by a relatively dark face, ears, limbs and tail. Key color puppets generally have black noses and paws, but their eyes are as blue as the sea.
3. Fingerless glove-style ragdoll cat
Like the point-colored Ragdoll cat, its chest, bust, chin and front paws are white. The key colors of the coat include seal points, chocolate points, blue and light purple points. Ragdoll cats don’t have many colors in their coat. The Glove Puppets look as if they've just jumped into a bowl of cream and ate some: they have furry white chins, just like their white gloves and boots. The chin is pure white, and the two front hands (only the hands, not the arms) are pure white. The two hind legs look like they are wearing white high socks, and are pure white all the way to the level of the abdomen.
4. Sanskrit Ragdolls
The Fan-colored stuffed doll looked as if it was about to sink to the bottom of the pool of butter. Only the upper part of the face, ears and tail, and very few parts of the body may be darkers color.
2. Choose a healthy Ragdoll cat
1. Ears: Cat ears should be clean and free of secretions. If your cat constantly scratches its ears or shakes its head, it may be infected with ear scabies.
2. Nose: The tip of the cat’s nose should feel cool and moist with the back of your hand, and there should be no nasal fluid or secretions around the nostrils.
3. Eyes: The eyes should be clear and bright, with no secretions at the corners of the eyes (except for Persian and Himalayan cats), and the third eyelid should not be exposed at the corner of the eyes (the third eyelid appears first in many cats when the disease occurs).
4. Anus: It should be clean and without symptoms of diarrhea, and the surrounding hair should be clean and pollution-free.
5. Abdomen: The cat’s abdomen should be slightly round, and the ribs cannot be touched. If the cat’s abdomen is enlarged, it may be a symptom of roundworm infection or peritonitis.
6. Hair: The most obvious health indicator of a kitten is its hair. A healthy kitten's coat should be shiny, fluffy, and stand erect. If the kitten's hair is messy and dull, it means that the kitten has been infected with a disease, or has been ill and has just recovered. It is best not to choose such a cat. Check the undercoat for parasites or black bits of worm poop.
7. Vaccines: Is there a pet manual or relevant information to prove that the five-in-one vaccine has been administered, and another dose of five-in-one vaccine will be given 3-4 weeks later, and additional vaccinations will be given every three years thereafter.
8. Body posture: Whether the cat’s tail is too short, and whether its tail, paws and back are deformed. Are the limbs too short? Observe whether the kitten is energetic, flexible and healthy.
When you want to buy or adopt a cat, you must carefully pay attention to the following points: First, observe whether the cat's body is well-proportioned as a whole, whether its spirit and reaction are sensitive, whether there are any wounds on its appearance, whether its fur is intact, and whether the cat is held well by hand. Sometimes, it feels heavier than expected. If it is called a pedigree cat, it must have a birth certificate (blue slip) or registration certificate (green slip) issued by a credible cat-loving association such as CFA. Ragdoll cats have a docile and peaceful temperament, are sociable, and are very friendly with dogs. It has a soft voice, is affectionate, loving, likes the company of others, and is very friendly to people. The whole body is particularly loose and soft, with strong tolerance and great tolerance for pain, so injuries may be ignored. This type of cat is not suitable for outdoor play. They should be kept indoors.
