I have two Ragdoll cats aged 21/2 and 3 and I was told when I bought them
that they had to be kept indoors as they wouldn't defend themselves if
allowed outside. Unfortunately, they want desperately to get outside and
try any time the door is open. I've had them microchipped and they wear
collars just in case they do get away. Of course they are not declawed. Do
you know if it is true that they can't be allowed outside.

Due to the fact that these cats are very placid and lack the instinct to
defend themselves, if you chose to allow them to go outside, I suggest that
you either take them out at the end of a leash or build an enclosure for
them.

If you allow your cats to go outside unattended then the chances of their
early demise go up exponentially.
I suggest you never let them outside so they don't know what they're
missing.
