The Mark Pennington Award
…created by the Bengal community after Mark’s passing in 2015 and celebrates the Highest Scoring Bengal Cat in the region. This is very fitting as Mark loved to show cats, and he loved to win while showing cats. In fact, he campaigned Mystre Maybe I’m Amazed in 2014 and achieved the spot of the highest scoring bengal in the region and the entire US (#2 in the world). (written by Mark's wife, Karen)
