At this weekend's Wichita Cat Fancy cat show, about 200 of the region's most fabulous felines will compete for ribbons and honors.
But do you have a cat that you think is as gorgeous as any show cat? The Eagle and Wichita Paws are holding a beautiful cat photo contest, inviting amateur photographers to submit photos of their cats — purebreds or not — at their beautiful best.
To enter, go to WichitaPaws.com and register, if you haven't already. Click on the Contest billboard for instructions on how to post your photo. Deadline for entries is 5 p.m. Monday.
Finalists will be featured in The Eagle on Feb. 13, and the winner, chosen by online vote, will be published Feb. 20. The winning photographer will receive a $50 gift card to a pet store.
Questions? Call 316-268-6593 or 316-268-6312.
