The fifth annual event of its kind, the Kitten Bowl put cat-letes of unparalleled quality to the test. Four furry teams competed against each other to pounce on the ultimate grand prize: Little Longtails, Last Hope Lions, Pouncy Panthers, and North Shore Bengals.

Every cat got championship-sized treats regardless of their purrformances because they were all adopted. Aww!We’re going to review a some of the highlights right meow. Yes, you’re going to say “Aww!” several more times.
