These are Kansas City’s 10 cutest cats, Star readers say. But who will be No. 1?
We asked the Kansas City area for your cutest cats, and you all delivered. But who should be No. 1?
More than 50 cats were submitted for The Star’s cutest cat contest, from tortoiseshells to Birman cats and everything in between — and your submissions have definitely stolen the hearts of the cat lovers in our newsroom.
Then we narrowed it down to a top 50, and votes from Star readers brought us to a top 10. Now it’s time to crown the cutest cat in the Kansas City area.
The winner of this poll will go on to compete in a national contest featuring other cute cats from McClatchy newspapers across the country to find the nation’s most purr-fect cat.
Anyone can vote in the final KC round of voting through Friday, Oct. 31, at 11:59 p.m. And you can vote multiple times by refreshing the page.
The winner will be announced Tuesday, Nov. 4.
