Most Dignified

Name: Greg
Breed: Persian
IG: @gregthepersian
Fun Fact: “This is Greg in his natural state. He is a social – and at times clingy – cat and waits for us to come home before eating his dinner. He is uninterested in people food but his favorite room in the house is the kitchen because it’s where everyone congregates the most.”

Best Action Shot

Name: Jazzzmin Ponyta Richardson
Breed: Domestic Shorthair Striped Tabby
IG: @Edrichard52
Fun Fact: “She “grabbed” me at the big Rose Bowl Adoption Event in Pasadena, Calif this past November. Seven months later, this big belly cutie seems to have ‘swallowed’ my little girl! Here she is taking a break from “scary cat” panting to boldly poke her head out of her mobile condo to learning the sights and sounds of the apartment balcony. Hopefully, the hummingbird squeaks will soon distract her from the passing traffic. 🙏😻”

Sleepiest

Name: Kru
Breed: Domestic shorthair
IG: @jrandxo
Fun Fact: “This is Miss Kru! I took her under my wing when my mom passed away 4 years ago. She is the sweetest and cuddliest little girl! She will be 8 this summer, and still spry as ever! Her extra toes, and smaller than average size at a weight shy of 5 pounds, adds to her cuteness!”

Cutest

Name: Bodhi
IG: @jrandxo
Fun Fact: “Bodhi is 4 years old and the only one of our 3 cats to not yet be featured on Catster! Honestly, the only thing interesting about Bodhi is he’s adorable! And while he will barely let me touch him, he spends all day in my bedroom, either on this cat tree, or sleeping in my spot on my bed.”
