If they don't want you, Butter, and if you want to change nations, I'll be happy to adopt you:DQuote:

Oooooh! Isn't team Australia adorable?
Okay, I've interrupted watching the opening ceremonies to add Butter to her team. :D
Who are these stunning Australian athlets btw? :)
Kirsten
OMG, I just heard Fister's pathetic Miaw and that was hysterical. Poor little guy!
Edwina! You had me LAUGHING OUT LOUD! and I was covering the front desk for a lunch break! Clients were looking at me as if I were nuts! (which I am, but we don't want them to know that!) :DQuote:

OH WOW! If that's her training session LOOK OUT OTHER CONTENTERS! WOO HOO! She's HOT! And Smoking :eek:
Day three recap...
Confusion reigns at the two venues.
----------------------------------------
The final cat flying/leaping finals have begun.
At the stadium next door the meowing preliminaries also began.
Fans watching the Flying competition heard the athletes yowling for attention and this caused concerned afficianados to leave the flying arena and crowd into the meowing venue with sacks of treats and kind words for them.
After officials reassured the concerned fans that the athletes were merely warming up and in no need of treats, scritches or headbumpies, they were herded back to the building where the
cat flying finals were to continue.
Cat Meowing
------------------------------------------
Cat Meowing is a realtively new sport at these 2004 games.
It takes it's roots from begging for treats, attention or no reason at all!
Owners were expected to run to where the meowing came from and attend to the heart wrenching cries for ???? It's been one of the oldest disciplines across history and it's making it's debut here in Athens.
Aussie team arrives
-------------------------------------------
The slow boat from China docked and finally the Aussie contingent has arrived. When asked about the delay a team spokesman only said, "Who knew there'd be rats on the boat?
We were able to combine some practice, hunting and all around
fun on the trip over, We lost track of time......"
Welcome Aussies!!
Go Meowers! Im checking this thread more than anything else! Wonderful!
Kirsten, the marching aussies are: Jasmine , following are Mini and Tabasco...or it's Tabasco and Mini ? :D
And where are the competitors from Catalonia???:DQuote:

This thread is killing me!!!:D :D http://petoftheday.com/talk/images/o...es/biggrin.gif
Shew *wipe sweat from forehead* I'm so glad Pepper Jack didn't get booted off the team for his Nike boxing box! That was a close call!
Now this is a mystery wrapped in an enigma....
When I played 'Pitiful Fister' neither Cassy or Livvy were in the room. Both came running, Cassy leapt into the printer to be next to the speaker; Livvy STRETCHED to get as close as possible. What was he saying?
When I continued on to play 'Pitiful Lily', Livvy left the room and Cassy (ears still alert) tried to shove his head threw the window screen. Now just what was SHE saying???
:confused:
Do my cats speak Danish and not German?
:D This is one great thread, so cute.
Kirsten, Yumi is correct and you even spelt it correctly :D. Just waiting for the rest of the Aussie meezers to arrive.
Go Aussies Go. :D
Goodluck to all athletes.
Can't be much of a difference because Tigris jumped on my desk and understood all Fister was saying:DQuote:

Filou came too but pretended not to be interested and licked his belly:D
Lily, I am sure you will be one of the best female athletes! The medals in high jumping and acrobatic jumping will be yours (for the boys I think Mango has the best chances.)
Lily is entered for so many events that I think she may also bring home a medal in the pentathlon!
Lily must have the time of her life! :)
Luna has emailed me from Athens and sent me those pics (but she forgot to add wether it's another one of Lily's training sessions or photos from the competition already):

BTW, heard from Luna that Lily and Pouncer have messed up the opnening ceremony a bit since they left their teams to greet each other. :o

Love! Fuzzy love!
To see our little furry athletes in action is SO heartwarming. Lily's acrobatic leaps are astonishing!
Congratulations to ALL our furry athletes! Go, furkids, GOOOO!

What a hilarious thread!! I agree - Thread of the Year material for sure! This one had me literally laughing out loud. Kim I really think Cooper should be wearing a cape. He looks like a furry Superman! :p :p

BCBlondie how in the world did you ever capture this shot? Just amazing! I love it!!

What athletic kitties we have here! ;)
Geez where have I been to miss this thread?!
Myself and my kitties want to wish all the competi-purrs good luck!
Oh my god, how did I miss this? Thanks, Barbara!
What a bunch of talented athletes (and I thought cats slept most of the day ;)).
I must buy tickets for the kitty jumping and rowing, today! :D
Cat Boxing prelims
------------------------
The prelims of the cat boxing discipline have been a rough and scramble for position going into the final rounds. The rumor circulating the athlete's village that there is a blind competitor from the U.S. that may make his Olympic apperance soon.
Cat Meowing finals
--------------------------
After a spectacular final round (all participants were give purrfect scores and gold medals) Fister's short and pleading meow was judged as "best in show". Taped replays of his final "meow" were played across the Olympic Village- guaranteeing extra treats for all the competitors.!
Cat Flying Finals.
---------------------------
Cooper, Mango nd Lily represented their countries and owners with some fantastic leaps in the finals. Cooper, who finished his set with the "Look Mom, I'm Superman" belly splash drew screams of approval from the fans. Lily, with a Riverdance style
routine was also a crowd favorite. Mango used pure natural talent to end the final round competition.
Fans were so stunned by his final leap they had no time to point their cameras at him. It was a breathtaking event, punctuated with flying felines from all over the world.
-------------------------------
Rowing and CAT-noeing.
The combined rowing and cat-noeing competitions are in the beginning rounds
The Cat-alonia team, aptly named because in true Catalympics style, decided that rowing was a bit to much for them and they decided to drop their oars and take a "CAT"-nap. They floated down the their lane while sunning under the hot Athens sun.
The Aussie team, a bit late, but accounted for, will compete in the single , double and 3-cat sculls along with the traditional last Catalympic event, sleeping!!
Now here comes - finally - the official introduction of the cat-alonian team:
http://www.tillyschanze.de/pix/spanish-team.jpg
Thanks for the report, Richard! :D Wish I could have seen the flying contest! :) Would have loved to see my Lily doing the riverdance! :)
BTW; since catnip doping is not allowed, some of the European kitties have asked if valarian would be a legal drug? What do the officials say about this?
Kirsten
Hmmm... Valerian root probably should be banned. Don't think the kitties need more distractions...
Well, you're probably right... even though some kitties may be very disappointed to hear that! :DQuote:

Tito is a late entry for the pathetic meowing competition, would the judges consider it?
;)
just too fantastic! go kitties go!!!!!
Just bumping this up again. ;)
OMG!! I missed this thread! I have had to be offline the past few days for work, and probably the rest of this week too!:(
I just HAD to steal a quick peek!!:rolleyes:
Looking good guys!! Keep it up!!:D
Here's a photo of the proud winner of the pathetic meowing contest who won the first gold for his country: :)

Kirsten
Wow Fister!!!!!! This should make Denmark prouder than anything that can happen with the hooman Olympics:D :D
Absolutely!!! Same goes for Germany, I suppose!
Hope our kitties will be more successful than the human Germans so far!!!
Kirsten
Unfortunately, Pepper has to pull out of the fence climbing event due to a training accident. It was also determined that cat nip is a performance-enhancing substance. Therefore, Pepper was forced to withdraw. :p
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...d/f8aee3f7.jpg
Note: This photo is several months old. Pepper is really fine and hasn't hurt herself again.
Fister says thanks a million to all the Pet Talkers who voted him a Gold Medal. He's VERY proud of it, but of course, being a cat, wouldn't show it (apart from looking rather smug). :cool: :cool:
His comment was typical of him: That's great! I should have entered more disciplines.
… Oh well, doesn't matter now, all that Pathetic Miowing tired me right out anyway. Pity it's too late for the Yawning competition!
http://www.studio16a.dk/Cats/YawnMedal.jpg
Come to think of it, I'd probably have done quite well in the lounging competition too! :)
Marvelous Cat-hletes!! Inspiring!!
Filou still has put his hopes on the Greek style wrestling (you remember how nice he had Tigris in the headlock).Quote:

A German girl got gold in judo, so it maybe the more martial arts for him;)
