My mom has indoor cats, outdoor cats, a few of outside cats have moved either next door or in one case down the street and other cats that go in and out as they please.
Right now, the kittens are indoors unless they are supervised. One ragdoll is the same way. She even has a leash.

Well, maybe in Texas, but the only outdoor cats I know of are ones who are might occasionally be allowed out in a fenced yard, or ones who are feral or lost/abandoned. It's far too dangerous to let them roam.
ETA: I also hate the distinction between "certain breeds" and "ordinary cats"--the life of an expensive purebred isn't worth any more than the life of the mixed-breed alley cat.
