    Average: Generally, Ragdolls can live anywhere from 12 to 15 years on average.

    Thriving Beyond: Many Ragdolls, with proper care, surpass the average and live up to 20 years or even older!

    Keeping Your Ragdoll Healthy and Happy:


    Veterinary Care: Regular checkups are essential for preventive care and early detection of any potential health issues.

    Diet: Provide high-quality cat food that meets their nutritional needs. Consult your vet for portion control guidance.

    Hydration: Ensure fresh, clean water is available at all times. You can also consider a water fountain to encourage drinking.

    Exercise and Playtime: Ragdolls, despite their laid-back nature, still need exercise. Engage them in daily playtime with interactive toys and climbing structures.

    Indoor Living: Ragdolls are better suited for indoor living to protect them from dangers like fights with other animals, traffic accidents, and exposure to diseases.

    Safe and Stimulating Environment: Provide scratching posts, hiding spots, and comfy perches to keep them entertained and feeling secure.

    Love and Attention: Ragdolls are known for their affectionate personalities. Spend quality time petting, cuddling, and interacting with your cat.

    By following these tips, you can create a loving and healthy environment for your Ragdoll companion, potentially extending their lifespan and enriching their quality of life.
