KITTEN of the YEAR

Here's where we pay tribute to Kittens of days passed!

When PlaySims was first conceived in 1987, Maxine Knight-Steele realized that there were a few ladies who went above and beyond in their work. By 1988, she thought of the concept for the Kitten of the Year Award. This award would not only honor a job well done, but was the stepping stone for that kitty-kat to proceed to the next level in her career.

Let's stroll down memory lane, shall we?
