This week’s topic was “The Best Yawn“, and we received some amazing photos from you. And although every cat is gorgeous, we had to pick our winners. Congratulations, and thanks to everyone who submitted their cats to our photo contest!

Next week’s topic is: “Best Easter Photo”. Do you want to have a chance to get your cat featured on Catster, our Facebook and Instagram?
