Introduce your kitty for National Cat Week

The Estherville News wants to see your cats for our Oct. 29 edition of the newspaper. If your cat will pause for a portrait, send us a picture and an introduction to or story about your cat. Send to apeterson@esthervillenews.net, text to 712-330-2593, or drop by the Estherville News office at 10 N. 7th St., Estherville, IA 51334.
