Top 5 reasons we think Willie the Wildcat is the best mascot
So maybe we’re a little biased, but we think Willie the Wildcat is the best college mascot around! Here are the top 5 reasons Willie fills us with purple pride.
1. He’s a cool ’Cat with a rich history
Did you know that the Willie the Wildcat tradition started all the way back in 1947? Adrea Simmons Andersen ’56 played K-State’s first mascot at the September 1947 football game against Oklahoma A&M. She wore a red-brown wildcat costume with black stripes and a tail — certainly very different from Willie’s current look!
2. It’s just not game day without him
Can you imagine a game day at Bill Snyder Family Stadium without Willie the Wildcat? We can’t, either. He helps us all get hyped before kick off, and we cheer for his post-touchdown pushups. He also leads us in every K-S-U cheer.
3. Kids love him
Whether he’s giving out high-fives on game day or waving to his fans along the route of the annual Homecoming parade, Willie the Wildcat brings joy to little K-Staters (and K-Staters who are still kids at heart).
4. He’s got a secret identity
Like Clark Kent as Superman or Peter Parker as Spider-Man, no one knows the identity of the person behind the mask at Willie the Wildcat’s public appearances. Does that basically make Willie the Wildcat a superhero too?
5. He’s a great ambassador for K-State
As soon as you spot Willie the Wildcat, you immediately think of Kansas State University, and a sense of fun, family and, of course, the color purple. Wherever Willie goes, he brings that K-State spirit with him.
Did you know.
Willie the Wildcat or Willie Wildcat?
Although you may have heard K-State's mascot referenced both ways, according to the university's Official Style Guide, "Willie the Wildcat" is the preferred name of our beloved mascot.
The mouse also supports gestures like swiping between full-screen apps, switching between desktops, and activating Mission Control. On the top surface of the Magic Mouse, there are no physical buttons. Instead, it has a touch-sensitive surface that can detect various gestures with high precision.

The Wildcat
In 2018, the University unveiled a bronze Wildcat statue located in front of the Bell Memorial Union. Generously funded by the Associated Students, Alumni Association, Athletics, and the University Foundation (without the use of state funds or student fees), the project began in 2010 when students advocated for a wildcat statue as a symbol to promote school spirit characterized by respect, confidence, and commitment. Following a nationwide search, world-class wildlife artist Matthew Gray Palmer was selected to create the statue.
The statue depicts Lynx rufus californicus, the native bobcat, in a natural environment and is complemented by lighting and landscape improvements at the site.

Reviews for "The impact of Apple's Magic Mouse on the mouse industry"
- John Doe - 1 star - I am extremely disappointed with the Apple magic mouse white multi touch surface. First of all, the battery life is absolutely terrible. I find myself having to replace the batteries at least once a week, which is extremely inconvenient and expensive. Secondly, the multi touch surface is not very responsive. It often fails to register my gestures properly, causing frustration and delays. Overall, I would not recommend this mouse to anyone.
- Jane Smith - 2 stars - The Apple magic mouse white multi touch surface is just not suitable for my needs. The design is sleek and stylish, but it is not comfortable to use for long periods of time. The low profile and flat shape puts strain on my wrist, causing discomfort and pain. Additionally, I have noticed that the mouse tends to disconnect frequently from my Macbook, which is extremely frustrating. I expected more from Apple in terms of functionality and usability.
- Mark Johnson - 1 star - I regret purchasing the Apple magic mouse white multi touch surface. The scrolling functionality is incredibly frustrating. It often scrolls too fast or too slow, making it difficult to navigate through documents or web pages. Furthermore, the mouse feels slippery and lacks grip, making it difficult to control accurately. I would not recommend this mouse to anyone who values precision and ease of use.
