Cats.org.uk are also giving feline-lovers the chance to vote for their favourite cats from around the UK, with nominations open until Friday, August 30, a great chance for Gwent cats to be entered into their prize draw.
How to enter
To enter the South Wales Argus competition for Cutest Cat 2024, send an email to Ruby.Qaimkhani@newsquest.co.uk with the name of your cat, how old they are, where in Gwent or the Vale of Glamorgan they live (Newport, Monmouthshire, Torfaen, Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, Barry or Penarth) and their favourite treats.
These will then be rounded up, where we will select the winner of the Cutest Cat awards.
