The second annual Internet Cat Video Festival, brought around 13,000 people to the Great Minnesota Get-Together this week. Here’s a look at some of the cat fanciers we met in the crowd.
“Visiting from San Francisco in honor of my cat Spanky, aka Spankenstein!”
“Turning people into felines one face at a time!”
“I had a custom-made Grumpy Cat mask hand-done by Platymorph Masks, if you ever need a replicated cat face!”
The Cat Entourage: Nyan Cat creator Chris Torres, Grumpy Cat distant relative Mike Adkins, and Keyboard Cat creator Charlie Schmidt.
Some cats get all the babes… like Pudge! Owner Kady Lone with “cat manager” Ilsa Burke.
Pudge rep Ilsa dons some cat-tastic slippers by Charlotte Olympia.
Rebecca, proud owner of six felines. Purr.
“We love cats so we got some cat tats!”
“Cats, eh? Yeah you could say we’re frenemies.”
“I actually don’t even like cats.”
Locals Sophia and Erin in true feline form.
“Our cat Gato is the scariest cat ever. He makes Scar from The Lion King look like a kitten.”
