It's Caturday!

This week, Maru starred in an interactive online promotion for UNIQLO, Ni Hao the stowaway kitten found his forever home, Dear Creatures got cat-inspired for Autumn 2012, Bravo spilled the beans on their upcoming I Can Has Cheezburger reality show, and we indulged our sweet tooth with a batch of pawesome cat cupcakes that were (almost) too cute to eat.

Also, don't forget to enter for your chance to win your choice of a handmade, collectible clay kitty figurine from Magic Bean Buyer! There are so many super cute styles to choose from, so don't miss out!

Leo

This week's featured feline is a costume wearing cutie who enjoys bandanas, mermaids, and cuddles!

Jen writes:

I would like to submit my chocolate lynx point Himalayan cat, Leo (his full name is Leupold Thunderpaws). He is 6-years-old, 18 pounds and full of personality.

We call him our metrosexual man, because he loves to dress well and wears a bandana from his collection of many, every day, unless it's a holiday which calls for a costume. When approaching him with his bandana or costume, he immediately begins to purr, lifts his head or his paw to help dress himself, and then immediately struts around showing off how good he looks.

Leo has 3 cat brothers who he loves, carries his little mermaid around the house to nap with, walks outside on a leash and loves to snuggle with his mom every chance he gets.

Cinco de Mayo!

Just to show you Leo's size (he's fluffy, tall and long, but not fat)

Special thanks to Jen for sharing her fashionable feline with us this week! Is it just me, or would Leo make a purrfect match for our friend Luna the Fashion Kitty?
