Recap Days 10,11,12
-------------------------------

Olympic controversy ruling. The Staring Cat and the Ursus Stufficus have been ruled as a coaches and will be allowed to coach the mixed doubles sleeping team.

Gold medals awarded for ties in sleeping finals.
--------------------------------------------------
The Yin Yang sleeping positions were a spectacular finish to the Mixed doubles Sleeping Competition. The Y/Y position had never been attempted in international competition before-the judges were suitably impressed by the coordination, and physical strength that both teammates exhibited during the finals.

Chester and Amy were able to tie the winners with a last second
snore/purr that left the judges with no other option than to award a double gold in the event.



Gold awarded in cart pulling
-----------------------------------

Dusty, the cart pulling cat, won the 100 meter cart pull last night.
Both cat and cart raced down the track at a world record pace! Dusty also won the silver and bronze since there were no other competitors.


Mixed Doubles Sitting Finals
----------------------------------
The USA team, also known as the 'E Team' performed a difficult
Stairway Sit to capture the first medal in Cat lympic history in the premiere of this event.

More recaps to follow.

Well that was it!

I finally spit all over my keyboard...great shot, thanks for the laugh!

[Barbara]

Yeah, the cart pulling medals are missing:D

F+T are very proud of their medal:D

I followed this event MUCH more than the other one in Athens. :)

[Killearn Kitties]

Oh, I'm so proud of my girl! Olympic gold! She has worked so hard for this goal. All that kibble; all that steak; all that chicken; the years of sticking her head in everyone else's bowl and slowly moving across until there is no room for them anymore; the sheer dedication involved in body-swerving the light food - all for this moment. She has been a little emotional and simply refuses to take off her medal.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oh Samantha, aren't you just the height of fashion with your gold medal! You so deserve it and I wouldn't take it off either! Enjoy sweetie, because like your meowmy says, you've earned it. :D

And congratulations to all the other gold medal winners out there too! I think Dusty definitely deserves gold in the cart pulling. I don't know of any other cats that could even compete! But Laura, how in world did your son and his family misplace the cart in the move?! :eek: Dusty must be devasted. After all, how can he win the medal if he doesn't have a cart to pull? :(

[AmberLee]

I'm soooo proud of all our little cathletes! Their dedication and commitment is awe-inspiring!

[lbaker]

It's not just awe-inspiring, it's PawInspiring! What talent!

[Laura's Babies]

My son has also taken a new job that requries him to travel and work some long hours. I don't think they have completely unpacked everything.... He had to hunt and hunt for the program to his camera to get that back on the computer... (for the pic's of Princess) RULE #1 (if you own a computer) The computer MUST be FIXED!...all else is so small that it does not matter.

They are not sure what happened to it in the move... Don't worry, the search is on for another.

Whew! Glad to hear that Dusty can keep practicing so he can enter the 2008 Catolympics too. :D

[lynnestankard]

Oh, this is wonderful!! :) Jessica, I'm happy for you that your dream came true! :D

BTW, has anyone heard of my Lily girl? Any medals for her?

Kirsten

[Barbara]

Look at what that journalist said about days 13, 14 and 15: Lily also won a wrestling medal:D

I wonder whether Ilio and Lali got a medal for their partner acrobatics:D

[Kirsten]

A wrestling medal?? Wow, that's great! :) What about the high jumping competition? Did she have any chances there?

I'm sure Lily qualified for a Gold Kirsten.:D and you do too.:)

This thread has been a delight to read. Thank you so much
for starting it. I've really enjoyed seeing all the great action
photos of our super kitties & reading all the witty commentary.

Great thread.:D

[Kirsten]

Does anyone remember this? Already 4 years ago but now that the games in Bejing have started, I thought I'd bring this back to the top. There are still some of the old photos in this thread. :D

Cassie wants to try out for the U.S. upside-down rolling around team, but she's under the influence of catnip! (Sorry about all the clutter on the book case!)

[Randy_K]

Wait... isn't catnip illegal doping?

Going back through this posting I see a lot of the picture links have expired.

[Barbara]

That's the consequences of Imagestation closing :( They didn't know what they did to us ;)

[Laura's Babies]

Giz has been working all year on purse diving! SHE IS READY!

Aww, Giz really is thorough! :D She is bound to win gold!

[Kirsten]

Wow, no doubt she'll win the Gold! :D

Kirsten

[RICHARD]

I want to apologize to everyone for not having a CatOlympics thread this year.

Because of some personal stuff I really didn't have my heart in it.

I do like the Giz purse diving video. Looks like fun!
