We have a boy ragdoll & he is just about to turn 1. My chidren are 4.5 & 2.5 & they absolutely ADORE Pokey! They won't leave the house without kissing him goodbye & they are always wanting to come home & see him & they FIGHT over who's turn it is to feed him!
I am not an overly cat person, but I will honestly say that Pokey has stolen my heart! He is a fantastic cat who is playful but lazy as well. My youngest had a habit of giving him a 'whole body hug' where she actually lays on him (he is HUGE!!!!!! So don't worry, it doesn't hurt him) & he will even come & lay at her feet now when he wants her to lay on him for a hug!
They DO play though, so don't think it's just going to lie on the lounge the whole day, because they are active as well. My kids have those dangly like toys that they jiggle for him & when they are playing chasey he even hides & jumps out around corners to 'get' them. It's hilarious.
The hair is an issue, but not a huge one. I vacuum every second day anyway, so I'm not really cleaning any more than I usually would, but I did buy a new dustbuster because he has a favourite spot on the stairs & also the lounge that I just tidy up as it needs doing. I also get my kids to brush him while they are patting him, so I guess that must help keeping the hair at bay.
