I recently got a 10 month old ragdoll, and so far has been great! I have some questions, as he is my first cat and want to give him the best life possible!

For reference, am a college student so big spending might not be possible :)

  1. Best way to manage the hair? I have a brush that is used every other day, but he HATES it! It has wire bristles (it was the only brush at Walmart the day of picking him up) so could that be a problem? Also recommendations for brushes?

  2. Early morning meowing (and every other time of day tbh) is there a reason for this? I know this is a characteristic of the breed, but it is not enjoyable to wake up every morning at 4 to yowling and biting my nose! He doesn’t have free roam of the house, but has 3 bedrooms and our stairwell to play. He has many toys that were recommended to me by past owner. Would more stimulation and playing benefit this?

  3. What litter boxes are you all getting for them? He is already HUGE. I got an XL plastic box and he already doesn’t fit.

  4. Cat trees? I am having the same issue of him just simply being TOO BIG for any trees so far. What are some good quality trees for full grown ragdolls!

  5. Do ragdolls do well in dorms? I currently live in a 4 bedroom apartment, but would like some advice on how to transition him to that kind of living :)

Peanut is very loved, I would just like to make sure he has the best life possible!
