(PHOTOS)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

The Comedy Pet Photo Awards have finally announced the winners of this year’s competition!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like every year, this year also featured some of the funniest pet photos from around the world, with the competition receiving more than 2000 entries! But the 2022 Overall Winner award was bagged by a Japanese photographer, Kenichi Morinaga, with his clever photography featuring his two cats who sat on the fence cheek to cheek (or neck and neck?).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kenichi, who also won the Best Cat photo, kickstarted his passion for pet photography after he got his own pet cat and first visited Europe as a backpacker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Suddenly, I became fascinated by the antics of cats out in the streets and had to photograph them,” he said, adding: “This amazing competition reminded me that gestures from all animals are recognised as hilarious, cute, and heart-warming not only in Japan but all over the world.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We’re so chuffed to see such a funny selection of winners this year from all over the world. And brilliant to see our first ever cat winner! Huge congratulations to Kenichi,” said Tom Sullam, Co-founder of the Comedy Pet Photo Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“What is so amazing is that these hilarious photos and videos not only make us smile in the first instance, but they also mean that we can help some incredible pet charities with huge donations thanks to our wonderful competition partners, Animal Friend,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
