Ragamuffin
The Ragamuffin emerged as a relative of the Ragdoll, a large longhair with a 'teddy bear-like' gentle and affectionate personality. Unlike Ragdolls, they come in a wide variety of coat colors and eye colors. Rarely shy around strangers, they get along well with children and other pets, making them ideal family cats.
