This was a tough one I gotta admit. Mom enlisted the help of Dad and I when selecting the winners. There was much hissing, biting, scratching and clawing, because there were a few that we disagreed with Dad on. What we ended up deciding to do, was to pick the winners based on how closely they conveyed how they incorporate their cats into the special times of their lives.
When picking the winners we all agreed upon choosing the photos that showed the most AUTHENTIC cat behavior, not photos like my Mom makes where she just takes photos and puts in some holiday graphics. We thought that this would be the fairest way to go. We wish everyone could have been a winner but unfortunately we were limited to selecting just FIVE.
So, now, here are our FIVE WINNERS (in NO particular order! There was NO WAY we were gonna go THERE!).
Here we have the handsome and mysterious "Charlie" who is the kitty of one of the "Queens of Cats" herself, Catsparella! Catsparella told us that this is how Charlie likes to celebrate Valentine's Day!! |
Our next winner is the BEAUTIFUL "Kallie" she is the kitty of Shari from Mom2aCat Shari says "This was from a family Christmas about 3 years ago. I made Kallie a collar of stretchy sequined elastic and white lace that had gold in it." |
From Connie of Tails from the Foster Kittens: "This is how we celebrate Christmas. We unwrap gifts and let the paper fall all over the floor as the kitties can have some fun playing in it...We also have fun getting them in the mood for Christmas by decorating the tree to amuse them." Connie puts CAT TOYS on their tree! Since she could only submit one photo we unfortunately aren't displaying the tree :( This is "Trent", he is the kitty of Colleen from CRichmanFreebies Colleen and her husband recently moved to a glorious home that is over 100 years old, (a farm house type of a home.) Colleen said "here is Trent celebrating his new home!" Mom particularly liked the sentiment of this one, so Dad was over-ruled. Glogirly DOESN'T WIN? Last but not least we have her delightfully delicious orange tabby "Waffles" showing his American pride on the 4th of July Glogirly recently submitted a video of the flying orange tabby to "The Friskies 2013" video contest and we would be surprised if she WASN'T a contender!! We wish her good luck! WHAT ARE THE WINNERS RECEIVING? CONCATULATIONS TO ALL AND WE HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR PRIZES!! THANKS FOR PAWTICIPATING IN OUR CONTEST!! LOVE, CODY, CAREN AND DAD TOO!!! |

Concats to the winners! I also like the photo of the kitty in the window sill. I had scanned in a lot of old pet photos on my old computer, but my boyfriend didn't transfer those onto the new desktop =/ Those would have all been hard to beat though!

ReplyDeleteAwwwww....what great photos! Congrats to the winners and I have to say....that Charlie and Waffles are cavity causing cute....my youngest little Wubbikins has a major cat crush on both of them!!!
ReplyDeleteWe agree with the "cute" quotient about Charlie and Waffles, but you made Mr.Cody just a TAD jealous when you said Wubbikins has a crush on them! What's Cody? Chopped liver???!!!
