Is It Hard to Take Care of a Ragdoll Cat

Many prospective owners ask: is it hard to take care of a ragdoll cat? Taking care of a Ragdoll cat is generally not hard compared to other longhaired breeds.

However, they need regular indoor companionship, routine dental care, weight management, and genetic health screening for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and polycystic kidney disease.
