Prizes
Everyone gets a custom-made piece of art of their cat – so everyone is a winner! But in addition, the top 10 photos with the most votes will win a special prize!
The top three will have their pet's portrait done by one of our accomplished artists - see their work below - and you will get the original art! (You will also get an electronic piece of art by a randomly-assigned artist)
And the next seven winners will get a fun Nine Lives goodie-bag

Athraa Awad
Athraa lives in San Francisco, and specializes in drawing in pastels.

I strive to capture the essence of my subjects, delving into the depths of their emotions, histories, and inner worlds".
