Mr. Bennett at his Denver TICA Cat Show

February 3-5, 2023, Mr. Bennett, nine months old.

Just prior to this photograph, he had earned enough recognition from a variety of judges to merit the highest regional title of Supreme Grand Champion.

The very first time I caught a glimpse of Willowtree Ragdolls’ lines, I saw sophistication.

WillowtreeRags are not just cute or pretty. They are exquisite. Masterpieces, really. But what I did not anticipate was how “raggy” this fella would be–how sweet, cuddly, pleasant, floppy he might be. Mr. Bennett is one of the floppiest of ragdolls I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. He is large and fluffy and gets along with everyone. He may look devilishly handsome, but he is no snob. He meets no stranger and he enjoys being handled. 

What’s in a name?

Just as Jane Austen’s Mr. Bennett in Pride & Prejudice made the way for his daughters’ proper introduction in society, so also am I sure that our WillowtreeRags Mr. Bennett begins of an entirely new chapter in our humble Washington-born cattery. 

We will feature photos at additional TICA cat shows as he campaigns for TICA title in 2023.
