Your Kitty needs
On this page we would like to recommend some useful things you kitty needs.
It is very important to support your cat's immune system. We use Vetri Science Laboratories Vetri-DMG Liquid for ten years now and we highly recommend adding it to your cat's diet. It supports your cat's immune system and performance. DMG is an adaptogen that helps the body cope with various forms of stress and supports performance by enhancing circulation, efficient oxygen utilization, and muscle recovery. It also supports stamina through its ability to lower lactic acid build-up.
You can add it to your cat's water, or vet food or apply it directly to their mouth.

Vet's Best Hairball Relief Digestive Aid support your kitty's digestive system and is one of the best treats to prevent hairballs. Its chicken flavor helps you treat your cat without forcing her pills because they love it and eat it as treat.

Your cat's gut health is very important. It is recommended to use prebiotics, digestive enzymes, and probiotics. Here I list some I highly recommend to use:
I think Visbiome is the best probiotic to use. Visbiome has the highest CFU probiotic on the market but does not contain prebiotics, so you should combine it with them.
I highly recommend using Visbiome, as it contains 8 strains of live bacteria in a concentration of 112.5 billion bacteria per capsule, and contains only traces of milk (less than 0.1 g/100g) which is very important to check when we are giving supplements to our cats.
(In Europe Visbiome is called Vivomixx, but it can contain other ingredients, that are inappropriate for cats, so before planning to order, please consult with me.)

I like using Purina Feline Forti Flora, because cats love its taste and smell. Sometimes when cats are not eating a certain kind of food, I sprinkle Forti Flora on it, and they immediately eat it. It is a must to have at home!

For Diarrhea Management we recommend using the following products:
Dr. Tobias Prebiotic Digestive Support PreForPro Ultimate Prebiotic capsules, which is a supplement feeding healthy bacteria and targets bad bacteria. It is designed for easy absorption and digestion, delivering relief for bloating, gas, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. It helps wipe excess e. coli, c.dif and c.perf from the gut, which are common reasons for cats having diarrhea especially if they are fed a raw diet. The dosage is 1/4 cap a day. You can easily open the capsules by hand.

For diarrhea management, we also recommend adding DrFormulas S. Boulardii Probiotics.

Cat food
We are free-feeding our cats with dry food, it is available for them all the time and you shouldn’t worry about them over-eating or getting obese. It is sometimes happening that they are gaining a bit more weight in the winter, but they are losing it in the summer, it is all-natural. We recommend the brand Ziwi Peak, it is the best quality dry food available.

Ziwi alone is not enough to properly feed your ragdoll, we also feed our kittens with IAMS Hairball dry food, because it contains fiber that is very good for the Ragdolls digestive system. Though you might think IAMS is not a high end cat food brand, but years of experience of hundreds of ragdoll owners prove, that is very good for the sensitive digestion of ragdolls.

We also feed our cats raw meat every day. We are making our own raw meat mix including turkey, beef, and rabbit. I never add chicken to our mix, because I think that is the most dangerous form of raw meat. In case you are interested in making your own raw meat, feel free to consult with me. There are also many companies providing very good raw meat diets.
Cats like treats very much and you can use them to teach your kitty or simply because you love him. It is also very important to buy healthy treats:

Cat litter
We recommend buying a very large litter box, that is convenient for your cat to move inside, so the length should be at least 20".
Here is a litter box that is large enough.

You should buy a litter scoop that is big enough (saves you time) and easy to clean. This stainless steel litter scoop is large and easy to clean.

In case you are interested in buying an automated litter boy, Pura X Self-cleaning litter boy is the most widely recommended one. It saves you a lot of time and energy, helps reduce odor, and also helps to keep track of your cat's litter box-using habits.

We recommend using clumping cat litter. There are many good quality cat litters available. Here are some examples:
Purina Tidy Cats Low Dust Clumping Cat Litter is lightweight.

It is very important to regularly clean and disinfect your litter box and scoop!
Transporting your kitty
Wherever you are traveling with your cats, it is most important to have a safe carrier for them. You could ask aren't all carriers safe?! I don't think so! Any carriers that can break or your kitty can open are not safe. I do not recommend buying any hard/plastic carriers, because in case of a car accident, they are breaking into pieces and the pieces can hurt your cat and not to mention he can be loose on a highway.
For carrying your cat yourself or flying we recommend only one brand, the sturdi product pet carrier bag. Please do not save money on buying any other carrier bags, they simply don't worth it. It is very tempting to buy one of those expandable carriers, I must admit I did buy one too, but as long as they are not expanded, the expandable piece takes away the space from the carrier inside (not at the first or second use, but later).
When buying a sturdi bag, the best choice is the large size, the bigger ones are not appropriate to use on the plane. This link here is the best price I found to buy one
In case you are planning to go on a long drive with your cat(s), I recommend buying a portable, collapsible crate, that is big enough to offer more comfort for your kitty, like this one
Or an even bigger one for more cats and really long trips or simply because you have a real big car, then this one could be your kitty's travel suite
There are excellent portable litter boxes available that can be sealed with a zip and carried on your road trip in the car and then to the hotel room.
This is the one we use and believe me we are experienced cat-travellers and it also comes with an extra collapsible food bowl and litter scoop
Unfortunately, I heard so many people, even vets recommend medicating your cats during traveling. Please never do so! Usually, when you start traveling with your cat, he or she is crying, trying to see your reaction, if you let him out or not. If you don't react, they will soon stop crying and sleep all the way.
However you can help them feel better, but only in a natural way. Here are 2 products we used and can recommend:
First is Bach RESCUE REMEDY PET Dropper
Second is FELIWAY Classic Cat Calming Pheromone Spray
Now it is all set for your traveling with your kitty! Have I told you how awesome pet humom you are?!
Grooming Your Kitty
Grooming your cat starts with having the perfect comb! During the past twelve years, we tried so many of them, but Chris Christensen buttercomb is my very favorite that I keep on buying again and again because I can't find anything better.

In case you would like to bathe your kitty, it is very important to use a degreasing shampoo first.
I recommend two brands, Davis Degrease Shampoo and
Groomer's Goop Glossy Coat Pet Shampoo.
None of their bottles look fancy, but believe me they work miracles. Wash your cat's coat twice to let the shampoo reach every inch of your cat's coat.
After bathing, you should use Chris Christensen After U Bathe Final Rinse Solution, because it is not only moisturizing your cat's coat but also flushes out any shampoo residue.
It is very important to let all products work, so leave the shampoo on your cat's coat as long as it is advised.
And it is very important to rinse after every product. When you think you finished rinsing, it is the point when you should start counting for a hundred 'Mississippi' and finish only after that.
You can control the cleanness of your kitty's coat by using wet wipes. I don't recommend using dry shampoos. We use Groomers GOOP All-Purpose Pet Cleaning Wipes with Vitamin E, Aloe Vera, and Acai Extract for cleaning our cat's coat.

We use Vet's Best Ear Relief Finger Wipes to clean our cats' ears.

We use Eye Envy Tear Stain Wipes for Cats to clean our cats' eyes. It is the best product available. I don't recommend using other wipes to clean your kitty's eyes, that are not meant to be used on eyes.

Miscellaneous
The elevated cat bowls put a cat's mouth at a suitable position in relation to its stomach, it helps cat swallow more easily and alleviates their occasional vomiting. The raised cat food and water bowl. Cats don’t need to bend their heads too much to feed when eating, which helps promote digestion and prevent strain in the neck.
It is important to not buy one of those double bowls because cats' natural instinct is to separate their food from the water. So please buy single bowls and place them relatively far from each other.
Cats naturally don't like drinking much water, so using cat-drinking fountains help them drink more. BUT I only recommend buying such a fountain, if you are ready to clean each part of it every single week, otherwise, they will be the source of bacteria overgrowth.
Catit is a good brand, so this one must be nice
This is a very important toy in our home. Cats don't only play with it, but also use it as a cat bed, or a pillow. This is the Catit Senses 2.0, Super Circuit, Interactive Cat Toy

This cat toy looks nothing special, when I first saw it I was thinking why the hell would my cats want to play with it, but then... it was a game changer! These little springs are all of our cats' absolute favorite toys! Don't forget you will need more because they are hiding it all around the house.

When welcoming a new family member, let it be a new pet or a human baby, or moving to a new home, I recommend using FELIWAY Optimum Cat, Enhanced Calming Pheromone Diffuser. You won't feel any smell, only your cat and he or she will be really grateful for it.
