It's Caturday!

This is a super special Caturday post, because it's our first to feature reader submitted pictures of their very own fabulous felines!

Reader Ms. Kenneth C. writes in: "My cat's real name is MICHIKO but we usually call her CHI. We got her nickname from a Japanese anime series "Chi's Sweet Home" where the main character's name is Chi, a little gray/white kitten who became lost from her family while they're strolling together and then being adopted by the Yamada Family.

Before I got a cat, I promised to myself that when i'll get my first cat, i will name her Chi...so that's where she got her name. Chi is my first cat and our family really loved her so much!"

Our next kitty submission comes from Dana, who sent in pics of her gorgeous kitty, Tori von der Nollenburg!

Dana writes: "I'm sending you two a pics for your weekly Caturday post, cause I couldn't decide on only one.

She always has this hilarious look on her face. xD Cat's full name is "Tori von der Nollenburg", but Tori is okay too ;)"

Next up, Lana D. posted on Facebook: "Everyone who sees this picture of my BIG boy, Minime, LOVES it. Hope you do too!!"

"Here's Minime without his comical face on, just looking handsome! =^..^="

Lana also has a cat named Sonny, and showed us his adorable transformation from kitten to cat.

"This is my Sonny as a kitten (with his "daddy") My favorite picture of him as a baby."

"Sonny, now grown up LOVES grandma's chair and has claimed it as his own to watch TV, or just relax in!!"

And finally, my friend Alison sent in pictures of her mom's beautiful new kittens, Sophie and Joey!

While still tiny, these two have grown quite a bit. Here's a look back at them at the beginning of October. So cute!

Very special thanks to everyone who sent in pictures of their sweet kitties this week!
