We have 3 cats, two Ragdolls and a Bengal.

They are honestly my "furkids" (as you can tell from my signature, feel free to visit their photoalbum link there)

I couldn't be without them, they are so comforting and in tune with my mood. The Raggies are perfect for children, they are so docile and will handle any kind of handling, our biggest boy Caesar who weighs in at a whopping 7 kilos is happily carried around and dragged and brushed and tormented by our friends little ones and never ever complains, he has never scratched or even shown signs of aggression around children, neither has Merlin - our other Raggie, but he does tend to hide when the kids get too much. I honestly cannot recommend the ragdoll breed enough for children.

Our Bengal on the other hand is not a kid cat, she's her own person with a very independant nature, typical bengal - she's a hybrid cat but we just love her pieces.

Our cats rule the roost, I love having them around, all three always come wake me in the morning when DH lets them out of their bedroom and I'm never ever unhappy to see their purring faces. They are the light of my life, I know that sounds corny - but I can't imagine life without them. Even my parents and in laws call them "grandcats" lol
