The sexual maturity of female Ragdoll cats is generally between six months and one year old, while male cats are relatively late. In addition, the estrus cycle of Ragdoll cats is about the same in one year. There were three to four times. The time of each estrus is about ten days. If there is no mating after the first estrus, it will soon enter the second one, and the interval between the two is relatively short.
Ragdoll cats cannot be sterilized during estrus. When Ragdoll cats are in estrus, sterilization surgery should be avoided. Because the concentration of sex hormones in the blood is high at this time, surgery will cause excessive bleeding, and the hormones will cause urination, fighting and other estrus behaviors to remain in the cat's memory, affecting the behavior after sterilization. The correct time for sterilization of Ragdoll cats should be arranged after the cat is in heat, preferably in autumn, so that inflammation and infection are less likely to occur.
After a Ragdoll cat undergoes sterilization surgery, the recovery time from anesthesia is between 1 and 5 hours. Each cat’s physique is different, and the recovery time after surgery is also different. If it is faster, it will take about an hour. , if it’s slow, it’s normal to sleep for four or five hours. The owner can feed the Ragdoll cat a small amount of food and water six hours after it wakes up. Eating too early or too much may cause vomiting.
