Steps

 * 1) Buy a Rag Doll kitten, or even two, from a reputable breeder or pet store. Inspect the kitten physically. Make sure it looks healthy. Check also for alertness and interest in its surroundings. These are two more signs the kitten is healthy. When you've brought it home, let them get used to their new home.
 * 2) Take your Ragdoll to the vet regularly for health checks. Have your cat vaccinated as recommended by your vet. As with any animal, if you fear your Ragdoll cat is unwell, take it to the vet as soon as possible.[[Image:Exercise a Ragdoll Cat Step 2.jpg|thumb|description]]
 * 3) Brush your ragdoll every day. This way, the fur won't get tangled. This will also help you and your cat bond and help prevent furballs which this breed often suffer from.
 * 4) Remember that Ragdoll cats go more or less limp if they lie on their back, or if you pick them up in a certain way. There is nothing wrong with your Ragdoll if it does that, in fact: that's why they're called Ragdolls. This behaviour is thought by some to be the result of a female cat with a spinal injury being breed.
