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.

Bubba & Beau
"They spend the days outside and come inside at night. Most recent funny moment they followed me on my walk to the store! Bubba is the gray one and Beau is the orange one!" -- Brittany Barloggi, Napa
Inky
"Stinky Inky, as we sometimes call her, is a little bit of a stalker. She follows us around the house and hides and pounces as we walk by her. She loves drinking water right out of the faucet and then getting cozy in the sink. She’s so silly and we love her!" -- The Officer Family, Napa
Rosie
"Rosie just turned one August 5th. She is a true Princess. Loves belly rubs and running through out the house." -- Sue Brandow, Napa
Michi
"Very friendly cat with a mustache and goatee." -- Josh Baron, Napa
BindiBell Serpa
"Bindi is your ultimate fraidycat, which keeps her close to home. Her favorite thing to eat are bugs. She loves to dry off my legs with her body after a shower. She’s also the most punctual cat. Every morning she wakes me between 4-5 am." -- Barbara Serpa, American Canyon
Zoe
"I rescued Zoe about 12 years ago and she is still afraid of her own shadow. But she always comes back and you can't peel the love bug off of you once she's made contact." -- Michele Mitcavish, Napa
Gypsy and Goku
"Gypsy is 2 years old and a super fluffy black kitty. lovable on her own terms she is very selective on who she lets pet her! Goku is a 1 year old sweet sleek black panther with a white “ascot” on his neck; he prowls the house like he owns the place. 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
Tinkerbell
"Tinkerbell was born a barn kitty and lived a long happy indoor life. Her memorable life moments include traveling the state with us in our trailer, and jumping out the trailer door one night in Santa Cruz. Fortunately she didn’t go far, and she was back home safe within an hour. she crossed the rainbow bridge last year at the lovely old age of 14, and is dearly missed by all of us." -- Ginine Blue, Napa
Oliver Belle
"Oliver Belle was one of my college best friends. When I moved to Las Vegas for school, I became very isolated and lonely. 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
"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! I love wearing sweaters and fancy collars. Mom says I am a cat, but I am pretty confident I am a person. My favorite place is laying on my moms pillow, and my favorite toy is “snakey” (a leftover Halloween toy)." -- Cieara Blue, Napa
Sir Meowington
"He loves playing in the sink and watching TV. His favorite movie is the Lion King!" -- MiaBella Sallade, Napa
Clyde Ramp
"Clyde is a super cool cat who likes his belly rubbed, his stuffed fish, and playing national geographic in the front yard. He is an active hunter. He snuggles with his Labrador retriever brother Charles." -- Charissa Ramp, American Canyon
Maxwell and Marnie

Francine Fishpaw Meowmaker Parks
"Francine is just about the coolest cat around. This chunky princess is an 11 year old female tuxedo. The fact that she only has one tooth does not slow her down. This feline loves to eat! She also enjoys snuggling with her mother, Alli Parks, and scratching on her post. Francine was adopted from Whiskers Tails and Ferrals in 2009 and since then fun hasn't stopped!" -- Alli Parks, Napa
Madi
