They were among felines competing for the title of "Purr-fect President" at the Cat Fanciers' Association-IAMS 2008 championship that opened last weekend at Madison Square Garden.

At last, Obama -- a Bombay cat and an American Shorthair for McCain stood out to win the championship.

More than 40 breeds were represented among the several hundred competing animals. The top title went for "Best in Show."
