A Ragamuffin is one of the largest domestic cats you can buy, they have really soft fur like a rabbit and it doesn't mat, the females can weigh up to 20lbs and the males up to 30lbs, Ragamuffin is also an old Victorian term used for children who wore tatty clothes and were poor.

A "Ragamuffin" can be many things; in this category it is probably associated with reggae music or a type of reggae style.
It is a word for a street urchin; tended to be used only for children, but now includes young adults too.
And, yes, it is also a breed of cat, but that wouldn't be in this category ... or would it?
Lovely word, isn't it? No wonder so many people call their craft shops and studios that, these days!
