well this is weird , but my ragdoll went out in the rain (silly cat ) and now hes got knots , can the rain do this to them or could he have got some chemical on him , hes never had knots before , as he is very well groomed .

you let your ragdoll out

i expect the rain has washed out some of his natural oils

it was only in the garden , i dont dare let him in the street , theres so many cats going missing lately . i dont think i could cope with myself if our little sherbie went missing

have you seen the thread my cat run?
maybe that could be an idea for you.
i'm sure sherbie's coat will be normal again in a few days

to much wet will matt the fur, maybe if you put a bit of talc powder on him them tease the knots out and brush him it might help,

try not to let him out in the rain again, as they have no under coat like the normal cats have and he could of got wet through to the skin?

yeh, I let Alfie out (with harness and leash!) and he had all sorts of bits stuck to him!

Think their coats are too soft, cant cope with the outdoors! You may have to bath your kitty

thank you , and no hes not going in the rain again . i didnt relise untill i couldnt find him in the house .
and iv looked at the cat run , thats a good idea and they look like they are having a blast in there

great idea cat runs, i have 1 large and 3 medium 1s, they also have plenty of places to shade they can get into if its too hot for them

when its warm i leave the kithcen window so they come and go as they please
