Chester is adorable

I just love the big brown nose, too cute. I love "computer cats".

Sophie's the cute Queen!

What a beautiful, cute cat Sophie is. She looks so serene but underneath is probably a bundle of mischief. My vote is definitely for this lovely little girl :o)

"Cinder" Close to my Heart

I am all for older cats and she touches my heart. My cat is now 14 "Ginger" and the last of my rescues from years ago. She is near and dear to me as Cinder must be to her owners. She deserves to be the cutest cat.. Sandy

—Guest Sandy

Sophie's awesome!

I think everyone should vote for Sophie, she's sooooo cute, I've never seen a cat with markings like hers before. Really unusual. Vote for Sophie!!! :o)

Sophie's so cute

The cats are all adorable (what cat isn't?) but Sophie is really cute and looks so cheeky. Her appealing little face just tugs at your heart strings. She should definitely be voted the cutest cat.

Chadwick is da Cutest!

Put your pawprint on the Chadwick X in the ballot, because this cat is the cutest by far! Go, go Chadwick!

—Guest Chadwickian

Chadwick

I am voting for Chadwick. All the cats are cute but there is something about his face....my vote goes to him! Ihope he wins.

—Guest Laurel

Tanner the Adorable

White cats are sometimes thought of as plain, but look at that soulful gaze, what a cutie!

Endoria

I'm a sucker for black and white cats, just look at that cute face, especially the pink nose.

Keep voting Sophie!

I hope everyone keeps voting for Sophie everyday, she deserves to win as she (by FAR) had the most votes the first time so it wouldn't be fair if she doesn't win this time. She is so cute and sooooo pretty, I wish she was mine. Her owners very lucky (but I think she probably knows that). Go cute Sophie, you're the best!

Cinder is the only really *cute* cat

The others are handsome, or beautiful, but this is supposed to be about *cute*. And she gets my vote every time.
