Behavior Problems

If you are experiencing behavior problems with your Ragdoll cat, there are a few things that you can do to correct them, depending on what they are of course.  Using physical force such as spanking or swatting at our Ragdoll cat will only make them afraid of you, and it’s very cruel.

If you are having problems with them urinating in the house it could be due to the placement of the litter box, the type of litter or maybe they are in some sort of pain and they need to be taken to the vet.  If they are being aggressive, you can work with them on that whether it be with you or another cat in the house.  If you have a Siamese, they also have some of the same behavior problems as Ragdolls. Once they become too aggressive you can use something to make a loud noise to take their attention away as you say a firm “no!” and if you keep doing this, they will know what that noise means and to stop what they are doing.  You could also use a little spray bottle and tell them no at the same time… we all know how much cats like water! And this doesn’t mean squirt them a bunch of times in the face, just a simple spray so they can feel the water and get them to stop what they are doing.

If you are having more serious issues with your Ragdoll cat, I would suggest taking him or her into a vet so you can get down to the bottom of the problem then everyone can be happy.
