Get the catnip and cameras ready, it’s time for That Darn Cat.

Contest Dates: April 9 until noon on Thursday, May 10, 2012.

The Details:  We will accept photos of all cats, but only Orange County, CA cats are eligible to win. Upload a photo (only one cat in each photo, please). However, households with multiple cats can submit photos for each cat. Don't forget to vote and vote often (up to 10 votes per minute).

How we pick the winners: There will be two winners. One winner will be determined by the number of votes their photo receives and the other by Register judges.

The winners will be announced in the Register's Life section and online at ocregister.com/pets on Monday, May 14.

The Prize: Two top cats – one chosen by voters, the other by Register judges – will win a kitty gift basket including toys and supplies and $100 gift cards. Both winners must be residents of Orange County and registrants will need to enter a phone number for verification purposes.

Tip: Share, share, share! If you use Facebook or Twitter, tell all your friends to help you vote for Kitty. The contest tool has a built-in share option.

NOTE: You must register to submit and vote for this contest. You must also be at least 18 years of age to enter.
