A group of fierce feline fashionistas got a chance to show off their supermodel style last week at the annual Cat Fashion Show at New York's Algonquin Hotel.
According to Vanity Fair, this year's event – a fundraiser for the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals and New York's first responders – featured cats dressed as firefighters, nurses and other civil servants.
The show reportedly began in the 1930s as a tribute to Matilda, the hotel's "cat-in-residence." Today, Algonquin's third Matilda walks the halls.
