How to adjust a cat to water
Cats are very clean on their own, which means they don’t require much water bathing. You should learn how to properly clean your pet without bathing them first. It’s important to start with a gentle wash and then gradually introduce them to the bathroom environment. For the first couple of minutes, use warm or lukewarm water.
How to acclimate a cat to drying
Before you start bathing your Ragdoll pet, make sure that you have a towel and a dryer ready. Some important things to keep in mind when it comes to drying your cat are: Do not allow the cat to be burned with too much heat, avoid disturbing the animal with too much noise, and don’t direct the airflow toward sensitive areas. You can buy quiet dryers at pet stores.
Taking care of your Ragdoll cat
The most crucial aspect of maintaining your Ragdoll cat’s health and welfare is regular brushing. You ought to give your cat a number of weekly brushings. You will at least eliminate dead hairs and stop your cat from consuming them when it licks itself to groom itself by doing this.

There are numerous brands and pricing ranges in pet stores. Avoid paraben-containing products because they are typically of the lowest quality and contain the most chemicals. Never wash your pet with human shampoo. Aim to avoid getting soap in your cat’s ears and eyes. Make sure your kitty is completely dry after rinsing.
You can give your cat a bath a little more frequently in the summer. Additionally, as it will shed more hair than usual to tolerate the heat, you should brush your cat more frequently. It is ideal to brush every day, even if it is only for 2 to 5 minutes.

You can determine if your Ragdoll cat has parasites in this way. Since Ragdoll cats are not intrepid creatures, flea infestations are unusual in them. But having a dog or lying in the sun close to a plant pot may make it more likely that this may occur.
Use shampoos with built-in insect repellents to bathe your cat as a result. These products can also be put in pipettes for use.
Making sure your Ragdoll cat is healthy and fed properly is just as important as bathing and keeping them clean.
