Best of cats

so monday went to the dogs, but today it’s all about the kitties! i’m a little prejudice here – i have two little beasties of my own (actually among all the design*sponge editors, there’s quite a number of kitties!) one of my favorite kitty characteristics is the way they’ll get comfortable anywhere but an actual cat bed! gotta love that stubborn mind! -amy a.
