Close your eyes and imagine the cat I am about to describe to you. Its a small cat. Its furry, none of that bald stuff, but none of that cotton ball with legs stuff either. For some reason, the cat is in a cup. Why would a cat be in a cup? What a funny place for a cat to be. Humor x cute = way too cute. Oh and there are two of them. How cute right?
To be the best cat ever, you must have a very young kitten. It needs to be in a clear picture in a pose that shows its playfulness... whether that be in a box, on a laptop, or playing with a ball of string. A happy, energetic kitten doing something silly- wins all. However, one must keep in mind that Siamese or other not-so-common type of kitten will not do as well in judging. Bright, colorful eyes and/or a slight head tilt of confusion are notable features of an amazingly cute cat.
Winning cats' eyes should be either open and alert or closed during sleep. They should not be in between states unless the surroundings support a dazed appearance. Also, younger cats are generally more attractive because of their smaller size. They can pull of "evil" because since they are so tiny, being evil is cute because they are trying to encompass something they are incapable of. Winning cats can be in or on surprising objects. This element can make the decision between two closely judged cats. If the surroundings are original, it adds an element of extra cuteness to the picture. Finally, the head position is important. If it is tilted and the eyes are sad looking, the cat appears cuter. Also if the head is in an unusual position, (upside down) it also makes the cat cuter. However, if the head position is potentially "evil" an adult cat will not be cute, but scary. Kittens may possibly still look cute because of their over-sized eyes.
I think that the most important factor is age. If there is a younger cat, it is going to win hands down. This is due to the simple fact that they used the word cute. younger is cuter. There is a different physiology that we associate with cuteness especially in animals. The short nose, and little ears and short fat legs, and all these physical attributes are most prevalent in kittens.
In a contest, usually a kitten will win over a grown cat, and a cat with human-like expressions and actions (as Milkface does since it looks like she is being sneaking and pulling a string) will be cuter. Also, if there are two cats that look like they're hugging each other or snuggled up together as opposed to not. If their eyes are blue or green they will beat a cat who's eyes are just black. The cat will win if it is sleeping or has a tired expression.
For a kitten to win in the contest of cuteness, there are many different factors needed to be taken into account. Two large factors are age and size. A kitten always wins over a cat. A small kitten wins over a big kitten.
The fluffy-ness level of the kitten has an effect. If it is between a short haired cat and a long hair cat, the long haired cat usually wins. However, if the cat is overly fluffy, it will probably lose. A cat that seems to lack fur and seems like just skin covering bones, it will lose. Always.
A kitten that is either sleeping or has its eyes wide open staring at the camera will win over a cat with semi-closed eyes or open eyes staring away from the camera. If the kitten is curled up in a sleeping position, it gains points.
The most adorable cat would be very small with large, bright eyes, preferably a cool color such as blue or green. These eyes would need to be set in a disproportionally large head, with a small, pink nose and mouth. The fur could be long or short, but should be at least partially white. The cat needs to be either lying on its back or sitting in on some everyday object, such as a cookie jar, or a mouse pad. The cat also needs to be emoting in some fashion, either by tilting its head to the side inquisitively, yawning, or opening its mouth in that pitiable classic, the "silent meow."
The winningest cat must be a kitten because it needs the "fluff" factor. Kittens also have stubby paws and tails, which add to a cute, chubby look. Kittens should be multi-colored with strips or spots to make a more interesting contrast with the background of the shot. A good picture will get a good shot of the kitten's eyes. This can be amplified through an angle shot, which usually makes the head look slightly larger than it really is. However, the photographer needs to be careful with the lightning as to avoid this look. Nobody wants to be a Booboo. The final cute factor is having multiple kittens cuddling/sleeping/interacting in any way in close proximity with each other.
First and foremost what makes a kitten win Kittenwar is that it is a KITTEN. No matter what the cat has in favor of it, if it isn’t a kitten it won’t win. Second, and kinda the opposite, if it’s a hairless feline it won’t win, no matter what. If the picture has two or more kittens in it, it will win. Who doesn’t love multiple fur balls?
cute kitten pictures are made of a few things, they involve multiple small kittens, they make you laugh immediately upon looking at them, the kittens are in a pose that you may see two little kids in, the picture its self is set up well (clear, good background, focused subject) here is a perfect example of one such picture. http://brianpietras.com/kitties_small.jpg
The unstoppable cat in kittenwar could not possibly be an adult cat. It kitten must be young enough that its head is still too big for its body. The fluffiness of the kitten is also a huge contributor to the overall cuteness. While being small and fluffy are the main contributors to a winning kitten, there are also other attributes that will push the cat from a winner to a unstoppable force in the kittenwar world. These additional attributes can be a head tilt that does not look abnormal, a kitten curled up inside a small object, multiple kittens (that are all small and fluffy), partially closed eyes that make the kitten appear sleepy, and eye contact. A prime example of a small, fluffy kitten with partially closed eyes and a head tilt can be seen here
What types of qualities does it take to be a winning cat? A winning cat consists of a sad, mitigating kind of look in the face as well as a tall stature. If a cat is able to have a continuous presence amongst others and stand out it is a definite plus. The best cat will have an elegant and casual type of look. This type will have fur, but not too much and not too little. If you are basing a cat just on a picture, the picture should consist of a cat with a head tilt and it setting in an interesting background either in something or setting on something unusual. A cat with more neutral colors in its fur is usually better than a cat with just a solid dark color. The biggest factor in determining whether a cat is a winner or not is its’ age. If a cat looks younger it usually has more of an “aww” factor with it compared to an older cat.
kitten, younger is better so is smaller, tilted head. sitting inside something. not black or with visible claws. doing something out of the ordinary is good
Smaller kittens are cuter. Especially those kittens which can be held in one hand are most liked by people. Also, such small cats have light colors and have comfortable expressions, such as squinting.Lying on some soft things like the bed and the carpet makes them even cuter.
Could your cat be a Kitten War champ? Is it a still a kitten? If it is, then you're off to a good start. Make sure the picture is of quality. Don't stick your camera right next to your kitten's face. In the picture, your kitten should be doing something silly and look like it's having the most fun it has ever had doing it. If it's sticking its tongue out, that's major bonus points. Do you have more than one kitten? Well put them in the same picture. The Law of Kitten War Cuteness states that there is a direct relationship between the number kittens and cuteness.
In a match between a kitten and an adult cat, the kitten will almost always win. People love fuzzy, furry kittens. Also, the more kittens the better, especially if they are cuddling. Lighter colored kittens tend to fair better, perhaps because it is more difficult to see detail in a picture of a black kitten. The picture should also be clear with the eyes showing.
If it looks cuddy and you can be able to pet it. If it does not have the expression that we interpret as being upset/mad. If it looks playful. If it is young. Also if it act like a human like having curiosity- ex: poptart.
