Hur funkar kattgräset för katterna... kräker dom mycket av de? Hämtar min lilla Kokos om 7 veckor:)

Nämen!? En Kokos <3 Vad underbart :) Nej det har aldrig kommit upp här faktiskt, men jag borstar regelbundet så det är nog därför :)

My cat hasn't killed any animals in his life (which is 7 years) And then I found him bringing a baby blue tit inside his mouth

Wow that is fantastic! :D

You know like those pictures you get of like loads of kittens in one picture? Well I wondered if you photoshop them or if like the kittens will actually stay

In some I use photoshop, but only for maybe 1 photo out of 10. It is more real to do the photo IRL :) You need to understand cats to know how to get them to pose like that <3 But it makes pretty pictures

my cat is refusing to drink from her water bowl but she always drink from the tap and if you leave a drink of water on the side she drink that as well....

Buy a drinking fountain! :) It makes them drink more. If your cat likes to drink from running water you should try a fountain that has that :)

hello! what do you think about shaving ragdolls for the summer? it's really hot in Portugal and they are already shedding a lot... :(

If there isn't any medical problem with them keeping the fur on, then no, don't shave them. Have a cool spot inside where they can hang out, and maybe get some kind or cooler for one specific room?
I'm not too familiar with this problem here in Sweden, but if you want to I can do some more research on it and get back to you!

how much does photoshop cost and do you editing all of your pictures?

It depends on what version you need. You can look it up on www.adobe.com
I edit most of my photos, sometimes only a little to have better light or something :)

How do you train your cats not to get into your food? And also to sit before they can get their food instead of pawing the bowl.

They need to be a bit trained from kittens, hopefully the breeder has taken care of that. Otherwise it is still possible to train them to be a bit more polite :)
Choose a word and a voice that will always mean NO! Preferably you say "NO!" :) say this exactly when the cat is about to or doing wrong so that they will associate the voice and word with doing bad. If you say it too late they might associate it to the next thing they where about to do.
And be patient! Keep doing this everyday and you will soon have a much calmer dinner :)

If I send a photo of my kitten could you help identify the breed? Don't think he's a ragdoll of NFO though. Where do I send it to?

Yes please do :) You can send it to ask@catwhisperer.se

Thank you soo much for answering my bowl/plate question! The reason I started giving my ragdoll food on a plate is because she was feeling a little sick and didn't want to eat much, so I was kinda thinking maybe she relates the sickness to the bowl so I changed it to a plate! :D Thank you again! <3

That was a very good call on you! :) I'm happy to have helped without even knowing it <3

I have an 8 month old red pointed ragdoll (although his color isn't really showing just yet) anyhow, quite often lately in the last month or so I have noticed when he walks around tge house he drags his tail on the floor. I wanted to know whether this is just him being lazy or it's a behavioral thin

Can you tell if he is hunting or seeing something while doing this? If he sees something, he is probably lowering his body to the ground and that can make the tail drag. But I would suggest you check with a vet so he hasn't had an accident or maybe a bad tick on the tail. The health of the tail is more important than many realize, it is connected to the spine so it can be very serious if there were something to happen there. Could you tell me anything more about this? Is it always outside? Do he seem fine otherwise?

Hello! Can I ask how you get muffin or Thea to welcome berry and zinna so well? I have a 1 yr old ragdoll with the best personality and has never heard him hiss or growl. We decided to get another cat to keep him company but he has been aggressive to the kitty. Any suggestions?

Since they have already met, I would suggest you take action right away by rewarding them both, especially the older, as they meet. They need to connect treats to meeting, so that they know that good things happen when they meet. Don't be angry with the older, it can be hurtful in this situation rather than helpful. Play as much with the older cat as with the new one, they do get jelous.
And buy feromones to plug in while they have this period, it will help calm them down.

Do you prefer speaking English or Sewdish?

Swedish is my native language but I'm ok with english too :)

The neuterchip is also for studs? It's like an injection?

Yes, it is mostly used on studs. It is like a microchip, only a little bit bigger and it acts like a soap that will ware off in 1-2 years

I want to be a breeder in the future, but i live in a small house and it's a open space, no rooms except for bathroom and balcony. I'm thinking that I will pay for a stud because i can't keep a male always with females. What do you think?Is there a site for reading suggestions about to be a breeder?

I think that is a great idea! :) If you only have one female at home and hire studs for her, and to proceed your work, find hostfamilies to put other females in to carry on the lines, then I think that you should do it. I cannot tell you where you can find stuff to read, since I don't know any of that outside Sweden. But I can recommend to start contacting other breeders of your choosen breed and talk to them. Maybe your first female breeder can be a as host for another breeder. Then you will learn from her and in the same time don't have to take the economic responsability. Visit forums, I learned so much from just reading other peoples stories.
I wish you good luck <3

My cat died recently and now I have 3. One of my cat is a ragdoll and he become a lot more demanding now the other one died(he was ragdoll to) I am wondering if he is lonely and need a friend?

I'm so sorry for your loss <3
I think that you should wait and observe, sometimes that behaviour means that the cat wasn't happy living with the other cat, and are now happy.
