We have two Raggies, brother from the same litter.
They are almost 2 years old now, and I cannot rave about their gentle nature enough.
They are great with our friends who have kids, they treat them like dolls and babies, wrapping them in blankets and rubbing them down with brushes and so forth. The boys just lay there and tolerate it all, never once have they tried to scratch ot attack anyone. They are just gentle giants. And I do mean giants, they can grow quite large. Caesar, our biggest weighs in at almost 7 kilos.

I'm not sure the rules on posting photos but their photobucket album is here:

(there are photos of all our pets though, but you can't miss the raggies).

Anyone looking for a cat to grow with a child should consider a Ragdoll.
