'Catwalks' took on a whole new meaning March 6 in Kiev.
The Ukrainian city hosted over 30 cat breeds, which competed in the annual Miss Meow Pageant to be crowned 'most beautiful cat'.
"The cats are judged according to their breed and color, and the winner is determined by some pre-set standards, including the distance between their ears, the length of their tails, their eye colors and the state of their fur--not forgetting their fancy dresses," the Turkish media outlet Daily Sabah explained.
Lucky for the thousands of onlookers at the event, the cats did not disappoint, particularly in their crowd-pleasing outfits.
