Should a Ragdoll have a quiet space when guests visit?

Providing a quiet retreat is non-negotiable for a cat’s comfort, regardless of breed. Ragdolls can be social, but if your guests are loud or unfamiliar, the cat will naturally seek an escape. Setting up a separate room or a high perch with a bed, food, and water lets it choose when to interact. A stressed cat is a problem cat-scratched furniture, hiding, or acting out. You want a calm pet, not a hostage at a party.
