National Cat Day was this past Tuesday, and our readers submitted fun facts and their favorite photos of their feline friends. Enjoy these awesome features!
Amy Clyburn
This is Monkey. Don’t let the name fool you. We are pretty sure he is a cat. He loves to sleep, and we have photographic evidence.
Meet Luna! She loves playing with her human brothers and sneaking up on her four-legged siblings for playful attacks.
This bossy lady is Coco. She is the queen of the house.
Chrislenn Kight
Say hello to Mama Mona. She is described as classy and elegant. She is the masterpiece of the house.
Cami is the sweet one. CAN you tell?
Pearl is a bit of a scaredy cat.
Goth is ornery and loves to show cat-ittude.
Austin Brannan
Meet Tillie, also known as Bitty! Weighing in at 10.9 pounds, she’s a gentle soul who runs from most things and loves to lay on her back in the sunroom. Tillie has a preference for human food. Tillie, so do we. Tillie doesn’t bite or scratch, but she does love to lick.
Mary Goggans
We do not know this kitty’s name, but someone is camera-shy!
Raven Sparks
Meet Chewbacca and Yeti, Raven’s Maine Coon brothers! Last Halloween, they charmed everyone with their Dr. Suess-inspired costumes. They love sprawling out, belly up, for catnaps and trailing behind anyone they can find. They’re serious biscuit makers. Chewbacca and Yeti coo like doves and make trill sounds and cry until they find someone to be near. Now weighing in at around 20 pounds, these gentle giants earn the favor of all.
Elliott Ellington
We are seeing double with Harker and Mina! These sibling cats, named after characters in the novel Dracula, love spending time on the screened-in porch to bird watch. Adopted together from the same litter, they share an strong connection. Mina is especially unique, as most orange cats are male.
Hayley Turner
This is Poncho, the cat who comes running when his mama whistles for him! His favorite things to do include eating French fries and doing figure 8’s between your feet. So walk carefully around him. When he was a kitten, Poncho was abandoned and thrown out of a vehicle. However, his luck turned around when he found a loving family who spoils him with all the cheese he could ever want. Also, meow.
Katie Jo Evans
Say hello to Presley Mane! He loves to hunt, and he hunts to kill. When he’s not on the prowl, Presley can be found chilling on the hot tub, seemingly enjoying the steam. You may also see him casually stepping through the water that spills over the edge.
