The Field Museum has announced a new photo contest in conjunction with its exhibition, "Cats: Predators to Pets." Throughout the exhibition's duration, cat owners are invited to submit themed photographs of their pets. Each month, a panel from the Field Museum will select 10 finalists whose photos will be displayed on the exhibition wall. The public will then vote to decide which three of these finalists will win four All-Access Passes to visit the exhibit.

For the first month, the theme is “If I fits, I sits.” Participants are encouraged to capture images of cats squeezing into unusual spaces or contorting themselves into unique positions.

The exhibition was developed by the Museum national d’Histoire naturelle in France. The major sponsor for "Cats: Predators to Pets" is Discover, while World's Best Cat Litter serves as an exhibition sponsor.
