Kitten-Proof Your Home Checklist

Eliminate escape routes

Before your Ragdoll kitten arrives, check all windows and doors to make sure they cannot escape the house. Ragdolls are indoor cats that should remain inside at all times. If you decide to take a Ragdoll outside, they must be supervised.

Remove poisonous plants

Some indoor plants are poisonous to cats. Check ASPCA’s list of toxic plants to know which plants should be removed or kept out of reach from your Ragdoll kitten.

Secure other poisonous substances in safe locations

Other poisonous substances, such as cleaning supplies, nail polish remover, medication, paint, etc., should be secured in safe locations where your Ragdoll kitten can not get to them.

Secure breakable items in safe locations

Make sure breakable items are secured in safe locations. Don’t leave items you don’t want falling on the ground too close to the edge of counters, tables, or shelves.

Secure sharp objects in safe locations

All sharp objects such as knives, needles, scissors, etc., should be secured in safe locations out of reach from your Ragdoll kitten.

Secure all wires in safe locations

Ragdoll kittens love to play with wires and sometimes chew on them. To prevent wire damage, secure wires out of reach of kittens.

Leave all toilet seats down

Develop the habit of always leaving the toilet seat down. You don’t want a Ragdoll kitten to accidentally fall in the toilet, or drink water from the toilet.

Familiarize yourself with possible hiding spots

Ragdoll kittens love to find places they can hide. You should familiarize yourself with possible cat hideouts throughout your home, such as underneath beds, behind furniture, in laundry baskets, etc. Confirm that all these locations are safe. You wouldn’t want your new kitten to accidentally get stuck behind a washing machine. Take a minute to write an introduction that is short, sweet, and to the point. If you sell something, use this space to describe it in detail and tell us why we should make a purchase. Tap into your creativity. You’ve got this.
