Most Expressive

Name: Pandora
Breed: Scottish Fold
IG: @fine.and.pandy
Fun Fact: “Pandy is the perfect mix of sassy and sweet—she runs the house with attitude but melts hearts with her cuddles. This picture shows off her gorgeous eyes, which just so happen to match her bandana perfectly. Being a Florida girl, the bandana couldn’t be more fitting—vibrant, fun, and full of sunshine vibes, just like her!”

Best Action Shot

Name: Jasper aka Jazzy
Breed: American Shorthair
IG: @ariel_mirandaa
Fun Fact: “Jasper is my little crazy, orange bundle of joy! He will be 1 year old officially on March 5th. My boyfriend and I adopted him from our local shelter for the holidays, instead of buying each other gifts. He has adapted and become apart of our family so quickly. We always find this little curious man finding new spots around the loft or running down the hallway with his daily zoomies. Our little sour patch cat, mischievous but the sweetest little boy once he gets to know you! We love him so much and wanted to share this cute photo I woke up to this morning.”
