It's official ...The Top Eight Cat Fashion Week list was officially announced through a special segment on the NONA program last week.
As the first reality programme in Malaysia to put the feline as the main star of the show, Cat Fashion Week is not just a fashion event, it celebrates the character, charm, and special relationship between owners and their pets.
This unique concept not only touches the heart but also brings the cat lover community together across the country.
From hundreds of entries received, only 20 cats were selected for the pre-judging round that day to showcase their respective styles inspired by their owners’ creativity.
In a meticulous judging session, judge Yuen Wai explained, “It’s called Cat Fashion Week, so one of the main criteria we will judge is the clothes the cats wear, and also when we have a fashion show, we will also udge the cat’s beauty.
"These two things are quite important in our evaluation. If the cat is beautiful no matter what, but if she’s not confident, she’s afraid, so she doesn’t wear that outfit. The compatibility of the cat with the owner is also important. We want to find a winner who is balanced.”
Here are the Top 8 who will compete on the catwalk at Cat Fashion Week:
1. Nurul Izzah & Omey (Male, Siberian); 2. Nurul Awwal & Chibu (Male, Domestic Long Hair); 3. Nurmayani & Kristoff (Male, Ragdoll); 4. Siti Rohani & Goyem (Male, Domestic Long Hair); 5. Farahin Zakaria & Junny (Female, Persian); 6. Zakry Shazryl & Winter Notty (Male, Munchkin); 7. Anis Halyatie & Evian Evan (Male, Ragdoll); 8. Siti Khadijah & Mocha (Female, Domestic Long Hair)
The finale is now approaching and the eight finalists are now entering an intensive preparation phase, from designing their outfits to building their harmony and confidence on the catwalk.
Last Sunday's episode of NONA also featured one of the Top 8 finalists, Mocha, a Domestic Long Hair female cat who loves to be petted like a little child.
According to her owner, Siti Khadijah, "I have fully taken care of Mocha since she was a little girl until now, she is 4 years old. My sister gave her to me as a gift... and I entered Cat Fashion Week just for fun, I just wanted to try it once, at least we can have an experience and a sweet moment together." Mocha, who is spoiled at home but fierce outside, also likes to be in high places and walk in the park, making her one of the most outstanding participants in the eyes of the judges.
