This is really not fair. They are all so beautiful and each deserve to be Cat of the Month.

It doesn’t seem fair that Mira & Roxie are actually TWO cats not just one. Seems they have an unfair advantage. Should be limited to one cat like the others

You really think so, Jill? My choices are for Cat Picture of the Week, and it’s shortened to “Cat of the Month” later, only for brevity.

I think that you’ll find historically, that photos with two cats haven’t had any particular advantage over single cat photos as far as the reader votes go. Voting criteria should include photo quality and the story behind the cat(s), not the number of cats in the photo.

My name is Jodi, and I am Kiki’s human companion. I feel honored that Kiki was chosen to be in this contest. I also have to agree with Charlotte; all 5 of these cats are incredibly and equally beautiful, and possess unique life stories. There is no contest. They are all winners! Wishing all the kitties involved long and happy lives with their beloved humans.
Jodi & Kiki
