Ragdoll Cat Molting Signs

Ragdoll cats usually begin molting between 4-8 months old. Their fur becomes increasingly fluffy and longer, with the original fur slowly falling off and being replaced by new, even fluffier and more lustrous fur. If your Ragdoll cat doesn't molt during this period, it may be due to insufficient nutrition, lack of supplementation for hair nutrition, or improper daily care by the owner. Therefore, owners should pay attention to nutrition supplement during the molting period of Ragdoll cats.

1. When do Ragdoll cats start molting?

Most Ragdoll cats begin molting between 4-8 months old, but the exact molting time depends on the owner's care and individual differences. Owners can pay attention to the observation. If they find that the downy layer and outer layer of fur on the Ragdoll cat's body start to grow slowly, and the fur on the neck is very distinctive, growing in a collar-like amount, then molting has begun.

1. What to feed Ragdoll cats during molting?

If you want your Ragdoll cat's fur to be more voluminous and longer, you can feed them some molting powder during their molting period. The molting powder sold on the market usually contains rich lecithin, fish oil, and other hair-beautifying ingredients. These substances have a higher oil content and can provide higher nutritional value, helping Ragdoll cats to have beautiful and voluminous fur. In addition, you can also feed Ragdoll cats some high-protein foods separately, as adequate nutrition is also beneficial for their molting.

1. What to do if Ragdoll cats don't molt?

If the Ragdoll cat doesn't molt when it's 4 to 5 months old, it may be due to insufficient nutrition in its body or improper daily care by the owner. In such a situation, owners can feed the Ragdoll cat some chicken breast, beef, and goat's milk to supplement protein and various nutrients, so that it can molt smoothly.
