Can ragdoll cats catch mice (if they want to)?
Yes, ragdoll cats can catch mice if they want to. Even though ragdolls are domesticated indoor house cats, they still have very quick reflexes, so if they wanted to, they could easily catch a mouse. But for the most part, ragdolls are solitary creatures, and depending on the size of the mouse, they could even be scared of it.
Poppie, our ragdoll, has an amusing habit of catching flies. She will sit and observe the fly’s movements for a while before determining when it is ideal to swipe with a quick paw flick.
She would have no trouble catching a mouse if she could catch a fly, and I’m sure most other ragdolls would be the same.
Likewise, ragdolls are incredibly adept at climbing, proving once more that they are more than agile enough to catch a mouse if they so choose.
Ragdolls have an amiable character
Ragdolls are among the most devoted and loving cat breeds there is. Ragdolls are the ideal pet if you want a loyal companion to meet you at the door when you get home.
Where have you been all day? I’ve missed you terribly!
Ragdoll cats are devoted to their cat parents, but they are not picky eaters. They are pretty easy-going and independent. If your schedule is hectic, this breed is ideal for you. These cats will be happy that you have returned instead of making you pay for leaving them for work by destroying the house in protest.
However, that doesn’t mean you can ignore your feline friend entirely. To keep them happy, set aside some time during the day for bonding and snuggling.
Ragdolls are intelligent and easy to train
Ragdoll cats are intelligent and easy to train. You can teach them a lot of tricks with a clicker and some treats.
They’ll pick up fetching and retrieving objects and playing hide-and-seek games quickly. You can also teach them how to command them to sit, lie down, or give a high five.
