It is said that cats are independent and cold creatures, and generally like to stay on their own, but this statement is not entirely correct, because Ragdoll cats are very dependent on their owners. Did you know that if a Ragdoll feels lonely, it behaves like this.
"I especially like to be in the corner"
Although the Ragdoll cat is a relatively quiet cat, it generally finds a comfortable place to stay by itself. If your little puppet always likes to hide under the bed, under the sofa and other dim corners, and is reluctant to come out no matter how it screams, it may be that it has begun to feel lonely and insecure, and wants to hide in a wrapped corner to make itself feel safe.
"Keen to look out the window in a daze, always thoughtful"
If the little puppet at home has recently become more and more fond of looking out of the window and staring at the flying insects and birds outside, it may be that it is starting to feel lonely at home alone, the owner does not have enough company for it, and there are fewer things to play at home, so it looks at the prosperous scene outside the window and hopes that he can also go out to play.
"Running Crazy at Home"
If the puppet at home changes its normal and starts to run around the house, it may be because it feels lonely and uneasy, so it will run crazy at home and entertain itself.
"Long sleep"
Generally speaking, when Ragdolls are bored, they will go to sleep to kill their boring time, and hope that when they wake up, the owner who went out to work will have returned. If your Ragdoll has been asleep almost all day and seems to be sullen, it's likely that it's starting to feel lonely.
"Lick yourself frequently"
When a ragdoll feels lonely, it will start to feel anxious, and one of the ways cats can relieve anxiety is by licking their fur. Cats will lick their fur every day to take care of themselves, but if they lick their fur frequently, it will cause too much hair to enter the body and accumulate into hairballs, which will affect the health of the cat owner.
If you are worried about the accumulation of hairballs in the cat's body, in addition to combing the Ragdoll cat more often to reduce the amount of hair loss from the outside, you can also start from the diet and choose a cat food rich in fruits and vegetables and fiber as the staple food, which can promote the cat's intestinal peristalsis and discharge the hairballs.
When the Ragdoll feels lonely, try the following two tips to bring your cat back to happiness.
1. Hide some small snacks at home
Kittens are very adventurous, and so are Ragdolls. In order to pique the cat's interest, the owner can put the treats in a small bowl and hide the bowl in different corners of the house for the cat to find. At first, it can be placed in a place that is easier to find, and then slowly increase the difficulty to maintain the cat's curiosity and desire to explore.
2. Homemade simple toys
Its practical mineral water bottle can make a simple little toy for a Ragdoll cat. Tie the mineral water bottle with a small hole just enough for the cat food to fall out, and then put the appropriate amount of cat food into the water bottle, when the cat plays, the rolling water bottle will randomly drop some cat food, making it more interesting.
