Is the ragdoll a cat for you?
If you want a large cat which is non-aggressive, loves
to be with people, and is very placid, you may want to consider a Ragdoll.
Also, if you love the look of a long-haired cat, but do not want the
constant grooming associated with breeds such as the Persian, a Ragdoll
would be a good choice. The gentle Ragdoll is also good with children and is
easy to introduce into a multi-pet household.
