Also, since we take our cats/pets on road-trips we would need a bigger car. My brother suggested a Mercedes Sprinter van but I am holding out for the Tesla cyber truck.
We got 2 ragdolls in late 2020. They're great but they seem to track poop around the house? Am I doing something wrong? We have a litter robot so it stays clean. They aren't pooping on the floor but I think it must cling to their fur or something. They are very finicky eaters so I don't think I could consider changing their food. Do you have any ideas? Do I need to give their bottoms a buzz cut?
You should take your ragdolls to the groomers for a sanitary cut. I take mine to the local PetSmart (in MA not DC) where there is a wonderful cat groomer. Took the two boys this past Friday for a bath, sanitary cut on their bottoms, nail trim, etc. Will take the two girls , Ragdoll and Burmese, on Monday. The Burmese is very easy care with a short coat but all my cats love the grooming so she gets to go.
One of my boys tends to get a lot of mattes during spring shedding season, then he gets taken to the vet for an all over haircut for the summer. I think he is so big with too much hair so it is a relief and he is so much more comfortable and his fur manageable.
