Common health concerns and life expectancy of a Ragdoll Cat

For cat lovers and animal lovers alike, the beloved Ragdoll cat is a breed full of fun, fluff, and love for human companionship. As with all cats, ragdolls are at risk for certain health issues. Common concerns include obesity--which can be avoided with proper diet and exercise--as well as respiratory issues and heart disease in older cats. With careful observation and veterinary care, these conditions can often be managed so your cat may live up to its life expectancy of 15-19 years. Ragdoll fans have much to look forward to spending quality time with this loving breed!

Regular Care of a Ragdoll Cat

Ragdoll cats are a cat lover's dream come true! Their big personalities and signature blue eyes make them an attractive breed for animal lovers who don't consider themselves cat fans. Among cat breeds, ragdolls are known to be incredibly easy-going, making them an ideal low-maintenance pet for any home. Regular care for a ragdoll cat includes:

  • A balanced diet along with plenty of love.

  • Brushing their fur daily to prevent hairball build-up.

  • Monthly nail clipping.

  • Occasional ear cleaning.

  • Regular visits to the vet for checkups, annual/bi-annual vaccinations, and treatments as needed.

  • Changing their litter box. 

  • Provide them with different toys and stimulating cat trees to keep boredom at bay.

With regular care, ragdoll cats could be the perfect companion for cat fans or animal enthusiasts of any kind!
