- The Algonquin Hotel in New York City keeps a ragdoll in its lobby. This tradition of keeping a cat dates to the 1930s; males are named Hamlet and females Matilda. The current Matilda is an 11-year old female ragdoll from Villaroyal Ragdolls; she strolls the lobby and perches on the front desk. She was recently named cat of the year at the Westchester Cat Show in Westchester County, New York. Matilda has a signature cocktail in the hotel bar; her likeness is on a children's book and Christmas ornament.
