From knee socks emblazoned with cat tails to designer watches decorated with cat faces, even LBDs (little black dresses) with feline prints, the fashion on display at the Cat Video Festival in St. Paul was, well, fur-ocious.

Cats have been a source of style inspiration (think cat-eye glasses, cat-inspired eyeliner and cat loafers), but the festival at CHS Field in St. Paul brought out some of the Twin Cities' best cat-couture looks.

The event benefits Wags and Whiskers Animal Rescue of Minnesota.
