Hi
It's a long story, but the short version is we'd like a kitten/young cat and would like my young children 6 and not yet 1, to be able to play with and help look after it (or at least pet it). I love the sound of the friendly nature of Ragdolls but my biggest concern is that many sites seem to think that Ragdolls should not be allowed out of the house:-/
I spoke to a rescue centre worker who basically said that advice is usually given because owners worry about their cats being stolen and that actually it does the breed a disservice to keep it in the house. That cats should go out and hunting is part of its basic needs.
I had written off the idea of Ragdolls as I would like our cat to use the cat flap for toiletting but now I'm confused and wonder if I can put them back on the list to consider?
For those saying we should get a rescue cat, there is a back story
