A wise man once said, “The Internet was created for people who love cat photos.”

At Patch, we believe that to be true. So we invite you to share your favorite photos of your feline friends doing what they do best – acting silly, crazy or adorable. You can submit as many photos as you’d like, from now through midnight on Dec. 31.

After that, we'll ask our readers to vote for which photo is their favorite. Voting in a poll will commence on Wednesday, Jan. 2 and end at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 9. The person whose photo receives the most votes will win a $50 gift card to Petco!

Get started by clicking the "Upload Photos and Videos" button and adding your cat photos to this gallery!

• Open to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia who are 18 and older.
• To enter, upload a photo.
• All entries must be received by midnight Dec. 31
• You may enter as often as you like.
• The winner, determined by readers' vote, will receive a $50 gift card or a prize package of equal or greater value.
• Read the complete rules here.
