There's no word on whether any cat fights factored into the decision-making process — or whether any scratch marks were left — but the royalty has been settled for the all-feline Krewe of Endymeow for its 13th annual Bal Masque on Friday, Jan. 30, at The Cat Practice Veterinary Hospital in the Lower Garden District, according to a press release.

Cheetoh Moreno, an orange tabby cat, will reign as King of the all-feline krewe at the gala, which will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. King Cheetoh's family is State Rep. Helena Moreno and Christopher Meeks.

His Majesty will be fitted with in Endymeow's hand-tufted crown, set off by a cabochon ruby and faux leopard fur accents.

Lila Terry, a taupe-colored Persian cat, will reign as Queen at the gala. Julia Terry will serve as the Queen Mother.

Her Majesty will sport Endymeow's traditional Swarowski crystal-encrusted tiara crown and feathered boa — complete with the Carnival colors of purple, green and gold.

There will be a traditional milk toast honoring the royal court — which will include "Feline Subjects" — and featuring traditional crystal champagne flutes. The event is by invitation only; to become a member of the litter, er, krewe, call 504.525.6369, and mew away.

The Cat Practice Veterinary Hospital is at 1809 Magazine St. Check out the coverage from last year.
