We're thinking of getting either one or two kittens to join our family. MIL has suggested getting a ragdoll as they are supposed to be great with kids.
Does anyone have any experience with this breed? From what I've read they sound gorgeous 
We have two dc (7 yrs & 10 months) and live in the countryside. Our last cat was killed on the small road we live on, so I'm nervous about getting another cat. She was pretty feisty and switched on & I still can't believe it happened (was just over a year ago). Are ragdolls really mainly indoor cats? Would we have to keep them inside ir do they choose to stay in? In the summer we have lots of doors open...
Also, we have mice in the house (in the fireplace!) - but I haven't heard anything about ragdolls being good mousers? Maybe just having a cat would be enough to persuade the mice to leave?!
I'd love to know any thoughts about whether our lifestyle would suit a ragdoll or whether we might be better just looking for a homebred kitten or kittens of no particular breed? DH works tues-sat & I work part time so for two days a week we won't be at home for most of the day.
Any advice appreciated! Thanks
