Aug. 8 is International Cat Day. To celebrate, we asked readers to send in photos of their favorite felines, so we could create an online photo gallery to salute the cats of Napa County.

Thank you to all our readers for sending in pictures of your kitties. The gallery was assembled in the order in which the photos were received.

Gypsy and Goku

They get along most of the time, but like all brothers and sisters they have their moments of fighting and bickering. As the “older sister” gypsy is quick to put goku in his place." -- Ashley Hennagin, American Canyon

Ollie came to me during a typical Vegas summer flash flood- when running up to my apartment I could hear a kitten crying. I found her hiding in the engine compartment of a nearby parked car. I thought she was pure black until I gave her a bath and discovered she was all orange! She is one of 2 cats I rescued while living in Vegas. Her favorite food is sand which turkey, and her favorite spot is whatever chair my fiancé is sitting in." -- Cieara Blue, Napa

Meowlcolm Reynolds

Meowlcolm Reynolds — "My name is Meowlcolm Reynolds, and I am the center of the universe!! I was rescued outside of a pizza shop in Napa. My mom met me at the vet’s office I was brought to for assessment and took me home to “foster” right away. What she didn’t know what that I didn’t plan to leave!
