Without further ado, we are so excited to share our winners with you below – prepare to get cat broody!!
CUTEST KITTY
The cutest category was hard to judge with so many adorable entrants. We loved little Luna and her thoughtful little face.
Congratulations to Sarah & Destiny Dearling, Luna’s human family who take home the £20 voucher and the pride that comes with having a first class kitten!
STRIKE A POSE
This entry made us chuckle. Bob is doing a great job of recreating that very familiar Chat Noir poster!
Congratulations to Bob’s human mum, Jill Rees who will shortly be in receipt of a £20 voucher for cat nip and nabs first place!
IF LOOKS COULD KILL
We are not going to lie, just looking at Dora’s face made us a bit anxious. She does not look impressed!!
A fantastic entry for if looks could kill and Dora was the judge’s clear winner. Congratulations to Dora’s mum, Carmel Brown who wins a £20 voucher. Hopefully Dora will be pleased!
MOST MARVELLOUS MARKINGS
We loved little Toby’s glossy coat and bright eyes. What a little cutie!!
