Is it safe for a Ragdoll to live outdoors?

No, it is not. We do not allow our cats to go outdoors. Due to the laid back and docile disposition of the Ragdoll, it puts them in harms way for potential aggressive outdoor animals to prey upon them. Keeping them entirely indoors is the only way to fully protect a Ragdoll from the many outdoor dangers. Once a cat gets comfortable with the outdoors, they are more apt to run outdoors if the door is open. There are many reports of cats supervised on a leash that are attacked by neighborhood or stray dogs, there are also many internal and external parasites that your cat can pick up even in the short amount of time outdoors. Please keep your cats indoors for their safety.
