Here are the "Cat of the Week" Results for the Week ending Sunday 23 August 2026!

Apologies for the delay in this announcement, but a qualifying post was made in the last hour on the last day of last week's competition, and so it needed to be allowed time to see if it could compete well-enough against older entries and get enough comments and votes to win an award.

The votes, comments, and chaos have been checked, and here are the current top cats:

Gizmo was hospitalized with a serious gallbladder obstruction and we were terrified we might lose her. She responded to treatment, made an incredible turnaround, and she’s now home recovering. She’s been through so much and I’m so proud of her.
