Cute and funny photos of cats were sent in by our supporters to brighten up January

Discover some of the best funny cat photos we were sent for our January photo challenge on social media.

If your cat can do amazing tricks, has some weird habits or is just plain adorable then capturing their antics on camera is a great way to share them with the world.

Gorgeous ginger moggy Biff has won the inaugural photo competition of Cats Protection’s Brighton & District Branch, proving that #PurrfectlyImperfect cats are beautiful. The photo of seven-year-old Biff was taken by his owner Eve Plumridge, who adopted him after he had a rocky start in life.

Cat lover Kevin Smith has a knack for snapping purrfect cat pictures and is keen to share his tips to mark National Photography Month.

Every year on 27 October, we celebrate the black and black-and-white cats who are so often overlooked for adoption, just because of their colour. National Black Cat Day brings monochrome moggies into the spotlight, showing that they have just as many head bumps and purrs to give as their colourful counterparts.

If you want to know if someone is a cat owner, you only need to take a look at the photo album on their phone, or even their phone screen background, to find out.

While this week’s weather might not feel very springlike, you’ve been brightening up our social media feeds with your blooming meow-vellous cat pics. We sent out a colourful flower frame to Cats Protection sponsors, asking them to share photos of their cat on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram using the hashtag #myprettycat

Black and black-and-white cats are more difficult to rehome and unfortunately they are also more difficult to photograph. With National Black Cat Day celebrated this month, here are some useful tips for taking photos which capture the beauty and personality of the black cat.
