Cats have a particular way all their own of putting up with costumes and photographs, as you can see from these entries in our Easter Photo Contest.

Peanut, a five-year-old cat from Royal Oak, Michigan, was rescued by contributor tfirzlaff from a ditch when he was only six weeks old. "He is a very loving and joyful animal. He loves to dress up as the Easter Bunny and have his picture taken."

Peaches, a Persian mix from Phoenix, Arizona, is wearing her bunny hat -- and not enjoying it, according to contributor Deanie213.

Samantha "Sammi" Sue, a Calico from Tonawanda, New York, "is Queen of the Easter Parade," says contributor VedaRee. "Samantha Sue is 3 and puts up with most anything her mommie wants of her."

"A bonnet? Ugh...at least it's not bunny ears!" thinks Jezzabel, a Persian from North Brunswick, New Jersey. Contributed by bethany1583.

Benjamin, a rescued Bengal from Lubbock, Texas, and his brother, Mr. Snugglepants, like to wear vests and sweaters for each holiday, says contributor benikitty. "They have Texas Tech sweatshirts to wear on game days and Christmas sweaters for the holiday season, but my favorite is their springtime apparel."

Jlo, a cat from Pamona, New York, thinks, "I can't take this monkey on my back wearing me down. Please give me more treats." Contributed by katt1225

Kitty, a feral silky-haired cat from Janesville, Wisconsin, climbed into the basket after seeing a chick there according to contributor fan4MS.

Harry, an 18-year-old orange tabby from Glassboro, New Jersey, is trying his best to ignore the fact that he is wearing bunny ears. Contributed by dip100.

Riley, a domestic shorthair from Akron, Ohio, is a 3-year-old rescue. "He was very sick when he came to live with us, but is now very healthy, playful, and happy," reports contributor LuRiley. "He wishes everyone a happy Easter!"

Zoey, a Himalayan from Burlington, Wisconsin, was owner-surrendered into cat rescue because they "no longer had time for her," reports contributor SPCR. "This darling petite Himalayan, barely five pounds full-grown, was a champion show kitten. We took her in at Specialty Purebred Cat Rescue. I'd bought this fun giant teacup planter for flowers -- just thought it would be a perfect springtime photo with the little teacup 'Zoey' before planting my flowers!"
