Hi Suzanne,

Thank you for reading our article, and well done on reaching 15 years young.

When it comes to Ragdolls or other breeds, there’s no one-size-fits-all. There are no significant variations; the only differences are based on your cat’s health and size.

Cats are obligate carnivores. They should be predominantly fed a high-protein diet low in carbohydrates.

I hope this helps.

Hello; I’m wondering if it’s really true, that a Ragdoll cat specifically needs a Ragdoll kind of food because of the shaper of their jaws or teeth I suppose? I adopted Hazel at the age of 2years old in 2010 and started on Royal Canine for Ragdolls, she was on this food ever since. When the pandamic hit us, suddenlty that food was a thing of the passed, so I got her on food that look similar in shape as the previous food she had, and it happened to be of the same brand but different breeds, I started on the Maine coon & the Persion dry food, and now I’m trying the Blue Wilderness, suddently I’m realizing that she would now be 15 years old, in your opinion what would be best for her, she still seems pretty healthy, despite her age. Thank you so much for any info!

Hi Marilyn,

Great question!

To improve her acceptance, get your husband to feed her at least once a day, give her treats from time to time (toss them away from his body and let her chase them), play with her once a day (with her favorite toy) and always praise her. Ultimately build a positive association.

Hope the above suggestions help

Our female cat is very fearful of my husband and any male relative but is not fearful of women. We adopted both the female short hair and her brother after our daughter rescued the four kittens from a garage 4 years ago. The male cat is affectionate to both of us. We think some boy or man imprinted a damaging memory that male humans are a threat. Is there anything we can do to improve the female cat’s acceptance of my husband?

Hi Desmond

You can follow the step-by-step guide of how to litter train a kitten (https://cats.com/how-to-litter-train-a-kitten), whilst adding some soil from the yard to the cat litter as an attractant until his fully trained. Patience is key, hope this helps, Melina

We have a neutered male “stray” that we have adopted but his previous owner, we know who it is, kept him outside all the time and so he only toilets there. We are not managing to train him for using a litter tray.
He is 4years old. He will hold it in for hours rather than use a tray. Some advice please

In reply to Donna Peters.

Hi Donna,

I’m so sorry to hear about your cat with pancreatitis, my DSH male suffers from Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) with weekly flare ups and he is totally food obsessed, I’m aware how challenging it can be feeding other household pets.

May I ask which pets do you have and if you’ve ever used microchip feeders or created separate feeding areas?

I’ll respond directly once I receive your feedback.

Warm regards
Melina

I have a 4 year old cat that has pancreaitis . It is a challenging condition. I am taking him to an excellent vet and he is working with him. I have 7 other pets so it is really a challenge keeping regular food away from him.. He will do fine for 5 or 6 days then has an episode. If any other pet owners have a cat with this condition I would appreciate if they would email me and maybe I can get some advise from others that are dealing with this. Thank you.
