Really nervous Ragdoll female kitten?? Advice Needed.?

I purchased a ragdoll kitten last week - when we brought her home she had major symptoms of stress from the relocation.


I have had her in my room with me and have waited to introduce her to the house and whole family, and my two other cats with fear of her reactions to it. I was thinking within a couple days she would be fine to 'let her loose' throughout the home.


We spend a ton of time with her - all of us take turns (1 or 2 ppl at a time) to go up with her, cuddle her, play with her.


I spent a ton of money on her wanting a ragdoll for their boosted about temperament. Sometimes she will fall asleep with me and the next minute run off fearful if I try to pick her up.


I have a male Maine Coon and a male part Himalayan which I purchased when they were babies and they were never like this as kittens - they were super friendly and trusting (no running away or hiding underbeds) and to this day are the most amazing cats anyone could hope for.





So my question is:


Does a kittens behaviour depict their behavior as an adult? I spent the money on her as I wanted that wonderful rag doll temprament that I have heard about but I am just not seeing it...and it makes me nervous.





I don't know what else to do to have her trust me and stop being so fearful.





I am also not sure how to introduce her to the whole house with her having a nervous breakdown!

If she's still not settling in, it's probably a combination result of poor socialization and genes. How old was she when you got her? If she was less than 12 weeks old, she may not have been adequately socialized and weaned. The kitten's personality is highly dependent on its environment. If the breeder socialized her well before she went home with you, she should be adjusting fine. (I cannot stress enough the influence of a good breeder who spends time with her kittens. It makes a huge difference in their development.) A well-socialized kitten who is very used to humans and has been handled often should be curious instead, NOT fearful. Unfortunately, there are many breeders out there who do not have the time to put into their kittens.





Also, genetics, especially on the paternal side, can play a role. Do you know anything about the kitten's parents?





Most Ragdolls do become more docile as they grow up. I have no doubt that with love and time, you will become your kitten's best friend. It will just be a little harder than if the breeder had done what she should have.Really nervous Ragdoll female kitten?? Advice Needed.?
If you purchased her from a reputable breeder, I suggest you return her at once. She should be in a one cat family and even that may not help if she was bullied as a kitten.
You really need to be patient... It takes a while for the cat to adapt depending on their personality... And each cat is different... You cannot generalize a kitten in one category going by breed... It depends on the cat itself and IT'S PERSONALITY.. If she is shy, that's just who she is... Just be loving, supportive, pay extra-special attention to her and don't give up. My mom had a cat who just had babies and these ppl adopted one, then brought it back the next day just because it wasn't jumping on their faces and happily licking away... PLEASE don't give up on your new baby like these jerks did.
