The Catwalk Chronicles: 40 Purrfectly Photogenic Cats Meowdeling for the Camera

The devil wears prada, but the cat wears purrada.

Look, we know people think they're the most fashionable, camera-ready creatures on Earth. These people who say that have clearly never met a cat. Cats are flawless, and they definitely don't need no Prada to purrove it. And absolutely no sequels - cats are purrfect just the way they are. You know, unlike a certain movie about the fashion industry that milks its success with a better-never-than-later sequel because apparently the first wasn't perfect - otherwise, why would it need a sequel… are we right, or are we right?

But we digress. We're here to focus on all that feline fabulousness, aren't we? Yes, we are. And this is exactly why we asked our more than awesome online cat community over on our I Can Has Cheezburger Facebook page to show us their fashionable, camera-ready, meowing models. And we have to admit - we fell in love with each and every one. Here are 40 of them.
