One shouldn’t judge an animal on its breed. They’re individuals & personalities vary. Crystal rarely lets anyone pet her w/out flipping on her back, jamming her sharp claws in your hand and biting-she’s no less loved, fast & smart. As a ruthless hunter, she’s killed several mice, chipmunks, shrews & bunnies. She’ll win against any predator where I live-not many to be found. I think its cruel to trap cats indoors or on leashes. Cats thrive acting out natural instincts w/ more than lifeless toys.

She’s a cutie. One of my Ragdolls coos like that. We call it his ‘turbo purr’!!

Turbo purr!! I love it. So cute.

Oh that is adorable!

Mine coos also…it’s SOOO loud! ;o)

it doesn’t matter to me what you do with your cat, indoor or outdoor is fine, but just so you know the average life span of an outdoor cat is just 3 years while an indoor cat can live to an average of 15 years.

Thank you for your concern. I can believe cats that actually live outdoors, by a busy road, or in areas w/ predators might only live an average of 3 years. Shes my parents replacement for 2 cats with the same habits, each living over 16 years. This cat doesnt sleep outside & is supervised in a fenced in 1/2 acre where she catches small mammals that get in. In this video, she is 3 feet from the door & Im with her. What the big deal? The background outside looked prettier than in the house.

Bellissimo

That probably goes for humans as well, but I’m sure we would choose to trade off some safety to get out of the house. You know your cat and your surroundings best, FastTuscani

Cats generally do love the outdoors, and the dangers to letting them outside in a fenced yard, while supervised, are minimized. Be sure to vaccinate them against the usual illnesses, and be careful of what they eat when outdoors, and they’ll be happy & healthy! It’s the folks who leave their pets outside to roam free (unsupervised) that need to learn the dangers to the cat that shorten lifespans!

hahaha! She sounds like a girl. I had a boy that loved to do that. Its cool how you can tell the difference between them.

Nice pure breed Blue Poijt Ragdoll Cat, I got one who looks EXACTLY alike, his name is Casper!

What a gorgeous Blue Point.. I have one just like that. Also, it’s not necessarily true that outdoor cats only live 3 yrs.. I have 3 cats and they’re all outside cats. They are ages 6, 8 and 9. They have all their shots and they’re all perfectly healthy. I asked my vet about it and he said it was fine. My cats are in my huge backyard @99% of the time when they’re outside. My vet said that it can actually decrease the life span to keep a cat inside who usually goes out. It stresses them.

Any reputable Ragdoll breeder will advise you not to let your dolIs roam….if your area is fenced in and you are outdoors with them it’s not as bad. The people who let their cats roam unattended need to be reprimanded for animal abuse. It pisses me off when people think it’s cool to let their cats and dogs go after baby songbirds that haven’t yet learned to fly. These birds are protected by law, owners should be punished for it.

Hey look at me and my out door Ragdolls……I feel this breed needs regular supervised out door enrichment.

my Birman looks like that!

My cat does that!

all kitties do this. Well, at least both of mine do. It’s like a greeting, I believe.

She’s so pretty. I used to have a ragdoll cat. It makes me miss him so much.

holy cow, animal abuse?! Sorry, but that’s a really extreme. Cats love the outdoors, and if you have a safe place for them to go outside, then that’s the best thing for them. We let our ragdoll in the back (he’s not nimble enough to jump over the fence, so he’s quite safe). He’s mostly inside, but going outside helps him to get exercise and makes him very happy. Although, if he could jump over the fence, I wouldn’t let him out as I would be afraid of someone taking him.

very pretty girl! looks like a sweet disposition too!

OMG! Our Ragdoll kitten just started making this same sound. We have had many cats and never heard this sound before. I love it! He does it when my Hubby holds him.

@lisajoyyoung my rag doll goes outside sometimes, he’s quite happy to look around and lay about on his cat lead and harness! Probably the best way for rag dolls to experience the outside world!

I have a ragdoll kitten too I absolutely love them! Best breed of all cats. I took a video of my kitten, feel free to take a look at it =D

@cellardoor434 Ya my cat i used to have was an outdoors cat. Although u live in a rural area and we lived up a side road so there was not that many vehicles. Still we have coyotes and other wild animals, bears, minx, etc. But she lived to be a lil over 15 years but sadly she got cancer. But moral of the story is outdoors cats don’t always have a lifespan of 3 years.
