he Ragdoll's coat is quite easy to groom. Their coat is medium to long length and soft, dense and silky in texture. Ragdolls groom themselves regularly too.

owever, it is still recommended that you groom your Ragdoll once a week by using a steel comb. I find that brushes cause a lot of static. Most kittens will enjoy a regular grooming, as they love to receive the attention. It can be quite an enjoyable experience for both owners and their Ragdolls.

n occasional bath may also be required, but please make sure you clip you cat or kitten's nails prior to doing this, as it can be a challenge if the cat is not used to this procedure. Also be sure that any powders or shampoos you purchase are recommended for kittens (as some may be for cats only, not kittens). Tearless shampoo is best.

f you are showing your kitten or cat, a bath will be necessary before each cat show. Ask us for tips about cat grooming for cat shows. And remember to start cat baths as part of a regular routine at an early age.

he books we have recommended, under the Good Reads section will provide you with further details about grooming your kitten.
