ABOUT THE CONTEST

They are either your adorable, easygoing non-descript house pet... or they are our fluffy overlords who have taken over the internet, and soon, THE WORLD! Well, maybe, but we sure know which we would bet on, which is why we decided to launch our latest themed design contest on all those crazy CATS! Whether they are part of Cheezburger.com's extensive (and hilarious) LOLCats archive, or a regular staple on your Tumblr feed, or an actual silly, awesome cat that belongs to YOU (and totally sits on your laptop every time you're trying to work. Maaan, come on!) - take inspiration from the feline phenomenon and show us your most outstanding cat-based artwork!  It can be funny, it can be just plain rad... it can feature kittens, old cats, fat cats, hairless cats, munchkin cats.... cats with frickin' LASERS shooting out of their eyes! Anything your imagination can come up with, it could win you up to $2,500 and the chance to have your tee added to WeLoveFine's shop! We and our pals at Cheezburger can't wait to see what you all come up with, so go for it. From here until the winners' announcement, every day is CATURDAY!
