Re: Ragdoll cats and kittens
Here is Coco watching herself on my Computer.Yes I suppose so Patsy, being that we don't have children, we treat her as if she is our child, so she is very spoilt.
But her food, the Breeder was already feeding all of her kittens on Tuna, and I have tried everything on her from Cat Food to Roast Dinners, but no she will not touch meat at all, she only wants her Tuna, but the Vet says she is really healthy.

She will scream at you when its 9-9.30pm because she wants to go to bed, but will only go up if one of us goes to bed with her, and she will scream at you at 5am to get you up in the morning. Coco does not eat Cat Food, unfortunately we seem to have a vegetarian cat, she will only eat Tin Tuna Fish in Spring Water, that's it. She has double cream and Lurpak butter, we have to have Margarine.
If tuna, canned for humans, is used as a cat food replacement, the cat is likely to have health issues (particularly with eyesight) because tuna does not contain taurine. Taurine is an essential amino acid that your cat relies on in its dietary intake since he cannot produce on his own. If your cat is on a purely a vegetarian diet, he needs to be fed Taurine as a supplement to ensure his daily taurine needs are met.
Taurine is indispensable for the development and the integrity of the retina of the eye and the nervous system. It also plays a role in blood coagulation, cardiovascular system, immunity and protection of the respiratory tissue.

Re: Ragdoll cats and kittens
Hi Mags,Thank you for the link it was very interesting. I have heard about this before and I spoke with my Vets and he said because Coco has Dried Biscuits with her Tuna, that she was ok, he said she was very healthy indeed. Coco does have a lot of biscuits during the day and evening. When I go to the Vets again for her yearly Booster I will speak to him again.
Thank you! Susie x

Re: Ragdoll cats and kittens
Spoiling Coco Susie, never heard of such a thing, people spoiling their pets, whatever next
The fact that our lives are ruled by the demands and needs of one small dog who must have the best seat in the house, who must have her needs attended to before anyone else, who expects at least one new toy every day etc etc, doesn´t mean she is spoilt does it?(we get round the new toy every day by taking toys from her toy box and hiding them in a wardrobe, that way she thinks she´s getting a new one, she now rushes to the wardrobe waiting for her new toy)
