r/ragdolls

My 22 month old has undergone a growth and floff spurt, it's quite amazing to see him fill out.

Sonic is the Blue Bicolour (4.5 months) and Tails is the Blue mitted(3.5 months).

Sorry for the image dump. Got a bit excited sharing the new babies.

*First of all, I have taken him to the vet and made sure it’s not ear mite/any health problem.*

Chestnut is 3.5 years old, and as he grows, he started developing very greasy/dirty ears. I had other cats before but haven’t seen this level of greasy-ness. 😩

- The area behind the back of his ear got this “wet” look from oil buildup (picture), which doesn’t come off from daily brushing.
- He has A LOT of gunk in his ear, brown and oily. It doesn’t bother him but it looks really gross. They also come back quickly after being cleaned.

I use pet wipe and OTC ear drops occasionally to clean up, but just wondering if it’s normal for ragdolls (I assume also other long hair cats?)? Is there anything I should be doing or just accept the fact that he is a greasy boy?

:( he's growing so fast

I can see time passes you by and I know one day you'll break our hearts but I guess that's the price we pay for love

Do your cats match their zodiac signs?? My big boy is a Gemini and honestly pretty accurate — super curious and social, vocal, adaptable, but also incredibly lazy 😂. I honestly don’t know why this even occurred to me since I don’t follow astrology! But we are getting an Aries kitten next month and a bit scared if it’s accurate - lol.

I can’t tell if the back of his fur is greasy or not, my partner says they can’t feel it and I do tend to let my imagination get the better of me and can’t tell for myself. I know greasy fur is an underlying health issue but I genuinely cannot tell, should I just take him to vets in case or am I just being paranoid?

Looks comfy

Was moving my keyboard and he decided he wanted to play, truly a prodigy lol. He’s also just discovered our drying mat 🙃

My 12 year old boy [ recently adopted 6 months ago] is sulking because I wouldn't share my fish sando and crisps. He cracks me up. I LOVE him so!
