The highest achievement in the CFA show ring is accomplished when a cat successfully earns the title of National Winner (NW). CFA established the title of Grand Champion in 1930 and the title of National Winner first appeared in 1971. In CFA, each year the top 25 cats in Championship, 25 Kittens and 25 cats in Premiership are awarded the NW title.
The Ragdoll was first accepted by CFA for Championship competition in 2000. The 2011-12 show season saw the first National Winner for the breed - a seal point & white netuer named GP, NW Bordeaux Ltd Enzo Purrari who was 10th Best Cat in Premiership.
The 2019-20 show season saw the breed with its first "Bests" - a Best Cat award in China to a seal lynx point & white male named GC, BWC, NW Zeus Ragdoll Kunlun, and a Best Kitten award in the International Division to a seal lynx point & white male named GC, BWI, NW Dolly-Chiny Yip Man. To date, there has not been a Best Cat in Premiership for the breed.
Below is a table with the national winning Ragdoll, including their name, color, sex, year of their win, and the award they earned.
