Ragdoll cats are known for their docile nature, but that doesn't mean they're going to be friends with every other cat. Some ragdolls get along better with animals than others; so it's important to know the cat before introducing them to a new environment. For example, some can go from being calm and sociable one minute to hissing and swatting at strangers the next if scared or startled. It all depends on the individual personalities, size and age of your cat, health and also if they come from professional breeders. Cats from reputable breeders are more likely to adopt better to other pets. When bringing a ragdoll kitten to a house with an existing cat, the best way to introduce them is by keeping both cats in separate rooms and letting their scents mingle. After they’ve been separated for a few hours or more, take each one into the other room so that they can see each other but not touch; If there is no aggression from either cat, you can let them meet. You need to monitor their behaviour and make sure that their interactions are friendly and calm.

So it's best not to bring them face-to-face until the dog has been taught what is acceptable behaviour around cats (usually through positive reinforcement training). Some dogs may be aggressive with other animals; thankfully this isn't always the case! If your dog shows aggression towards any animal, consult an animal trainer or expert who can help assess whether there might be any underlying issues that could lead to more serious problems in future.

With a little patience, any dog will be able to learn how best to interact with this cute new addition!

If you're considering adding a cat but are worried about whether they'll get on well with other animals in the house, then seek advice from an animal behaviourist first for some peace of mind!
