What should I do if my Ragdoll does not like a new blanket?

Try washing the blanket with a scent-free detergent first. Ragdolls are sensitive to unfamiliar smells, and your cat may associate the new blanket with a factory odor or something off-putting. After washing, rub the blanket against a piece of your worn clothing or your cat’s favorite sleeping spot to transfer familiar scents. If your cat still avoids it, place the blanket near her usual resting area without forcing interaction-she might investigate on her own time. Cats often reject new textures due to insecurity, so patience and scent matching usually solve the issue without drama.
