This is a question posed by many cat owners.
It is believed that cats of this breed will not be able to stand up for themselves when faced with danger. It's up to you to let Ragdoll go outside or not. To do this, you need to weigh all the pros and cons.
Ragdolls going out can face many dangers, such as:
🔹Road traffic
🔹Animal abductors
🔹Ragdoll may get lost
🔹Predators
🔹Other cats
🔹Poisonous plants
🔹Intentional or accidental poisoning
🔹Rigidity on the part of people
🔹Infection with parasites
🔹Disease
You need to understand that if you are going to let a cat it must be vaccinated and chippe
Staying outside gives the cat great pleasure, which cannot be achieved indoors.
There are several ways in which you can allow Ragdoll to be safely outside:
🐾Catio
Catio is a combination of the English words "Cat" and "Patio". Catio is an open aviary designed specifically for cats. They range from window extensions to large freestanding structures.
The best katio for Ragdoll is a spacious place with several levels, a place where you can lie in the shade, climb and play.
🐾 Screened back porches
A great option for private homes. You can use not only glass or plastic, but also a wire mesh, so that the Ragdoll could not get out. At the same time, the cat must have constant access to the house.
🐾Harness and leash
If you want to take your cat out for a walk on a harness, there are many things that are worth paying attention to:
🔹 You will have to introduce this to your cat at an early age, and even then she may not like it
🔹 You should walk in very quiet places where nothing can frighten your cat
🔹 The harness must be reliable and comfortable
🔹 The leash must have a strong clip for attachment to the harness
🐾Fenced yard
The best way to ensure a Ragdoll's outdoor life is to completely enclose your yard with a very high fence, over which the cat will not be able to climb. But ideally, you should try to keep an eye on what is happening, because there are very insidious predators around. In addition, trees near fences provide excellent escape routes.
