Most Dignified

Name:	Monkey
Breed:	Domestic Shorthair
Fun Fact:	We found Monkey under our car when he was 2 weeks old and weighed less than a pound. We named him Monkey, because he likes to climb things and scream (he still does!). His favorite activities are chasing his cat and dog siblings and snuggling with his humans.

Most Expressive

Name:	Chaplin
Breed:	Domestic Shorthair
Fun Fact:	Chaplin is a sweet, cuddly 10 year old girl. She moves her eyes to the side a lot often looking like she’s giving disapproving looks :)

Fun Fact:	Ika is a sweet wee girl, her name means fish in Te reo Maori 💕

Sleepiest

Name:	Worf
Breed:	Domestic Shorthair
Fun Fact:	Worf is approximately 13, and he’s the sweetest, gentlest soul and a world-class snuggler. He’s been known to lie like this for hours, but he’s so cute it doesn’t even matter how inconvenient it is.

Is there a way to search to see if your cat won in the photo contest without having to click into every single week?

  Hi Candi Ausman, the easiest would be to search the cat's name in the search bar on the home page. It looks like a detective magnifier near the right top corner. We hope this helps.
