For starters, it’s a he 🙂
And we didn’t name him. He came from Hubby’s aunt (A), who bred Ragdolls and Tonkinese for about 10 years. She was moving interstate and couldn’t take her cats with her (also due to health reasons was getting to the point where she was unable to look after them all), so she redistributed the still-breeding and show cats to various breeder friends. She had a few cats who were getting a little old for shows and/or had been desexed and weren’t any use as breeders, and these got distributed between various family members.
Jacket was one of those kitties. His ‘show name’ when A was putting him into shows was “Raphaelo”. Apparently, he got the name Jacket (as his ‘home name’) because A thought that you could make one from the amount of fluff he sheds.
