We don't know how this information leaked out but now that it has become public knowledge "Squatty" Magoo will make his appearance.

He practices his jab!

Magoo says he feels in top physical condition and ready to take on the champs! We did find out from a source that Magoo had to promise his mom that he wouldn't bite off anyone's ear before she let him come to the olympics!!

Fister deserved his gold medal! That was definitely the most pathetic meowing I have ever heard! I keep going back to lisen to it again, and laughing!!!

Fister you're such a cute whiner!! :D

LOL! Look at all I've missed by being away from the computer for a few days!:D

Paws up for this superb thread!! We’ve been off on holidays and stuff (like at a poodle kennel for a week!:eek: ) and haven’t been here for a while. Will we join the Olympics? You bet! :) :)

Day 6 updates!

Cat Flying medals awarded.
-------------------------------------
The medals in the three way tie were awarded last night

The ceremony to the awards turned into a multinational free for all when the all the winners decided to jump onto the platform at once. There was only one incident that the hosts were concerned about. A floor fan was knocked over, causing one official to note,
"Everything was going well until the 'kit hit the fan'......"

Cat boxing prelims are still open!
----------------------------------------

The preliminaries of Cat Boxing are still open to the cat-letes.


Cat-noeing and rowing.
-----------------------------

Heats are still being run at the rowing venue. While actual rowing may not be seen by some of the fans, it is fun watching the sleeping cats lazily floating on the course.


Cat alympic Notes.
------------------------
Free style and Greco-Roman wrestling competition will begin next Monday.

The Beach Volleyball Venue will open on Saturday, the court sand was cleaned, scooped and baking soda was added to the suface.


xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

A note to the competitors and their trainers.

In order to properly cover the Games the media would like to remind everyone that pay careful attention to the events as they are posted!

A reminder post will insure that the participants are given the exposure they deserve!

Thanks!!

First in from Team Sweden is Tess in the “Odd places to rest”-competition. She’s been working hard on this the whole year and there hasn’t been a day when she hasn’t been practicing.
Ready, steady and here she goes!!!

Cammie, Halo and Pepper are late entries in the Balance Beam competition.

As she begins her difficult dismount:

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...e/fb84f9dd.jpg

Halo was disqualified because her Beam didn't meet the regulations.

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...e/fb84fa1f.jpg

Pepper's Beam also was disqualified. Though points were given for originality.

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...e/f9161ae9.jpg

Halo has also decided not to compete in the swimming contests. Desired results were not achieved and her coach suffered minor injuries during practice.

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...e/fb84f891.jpg

Sorry Team USA. Looks like Halo and Pepper can't be counted on this year.

Due to an injury involving an attack from another species (Rat) Remus will not be participating in any more events, although he would like to be a spectator!

The IFGC is looking into the use of 'pot' by Sweden's athlete entered in the sleeping competition.

Yes, gold medal material for sure, but unfortunately not quite a perfect 10. That durn orangie just couldn't get the tail right. Must have been the pressure from all the press this team has been getting. ;) :D

T & P would like to withdraw from the synchro kitty competition. They say they've been too distracted with all the travel to practice much, and they just can't get it together. Here's an example of why they are withdrawing. :o

Update Day 7
----------------

After reviewing the pictures of the Swedish athlete, Tess, on pot
the judges have decided to allow her to compete.

"She's definitely on (a) pot. But it's purrfectly legal!" stated one of the judges. "She's good to go!"


Swimming reinstated
--------------------------------------
Due to the number of requests from spectators the swimming portion of the Games will go on!

Partial listing of Cat-noeing and Rowing winners.
---------------------------------------------------------------

Tigger won gold in the Single Cat-noe competition.

Allen won gold in the single scull.

And the Catalonia team won in the team scull. Alas, they were too busy napping to pick up their medals!


The Synchronized Games begin tomorrow
------------------------------------------------

The most anticpated part of the games will begin on Wednesday.
The synchronized (team) sports will begin. Teams from all over the world will contest the disciplines of eating, sleeping and lounging. the highest individual cat-letes will be selected from each team for singles honors!

More medals awarded! The excitement is mounting! My girls can hardly contain themselves.

Filou and Tigris are waiting anxiously for the Synchronized contest.

But they are also in the training now for boxing. Look at Filou's left hook :D

Cammie would like to compete in the swimming events. But is unsure of the regulations. Will "sink swimming" be allowed?

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...e/fb84faf4.jpg

I love the high jump shot.That was GREAT!!!!!:D
I love all the beautiful photos.

SINK SWIMMING! Can it be combined with "POT" sitting? OH what a quandry :confused:

Oh... sink swimming! Mango does that!

http://www.geocities.com/[email protected]/Mango_41.jpg

So here we have the Swedish team: :)

Day 8

Synchro events begin today.
----------------------------------

The synchro events, individual and team disciplines, have begun.

Team Eating is first on the schedule. After the Cat-letes have finished eating the Team Sitting and Cleaning will begin.

There will be a short break in the action and then the competition will resume with the Team Stretch and Lounge.


Wrestling
-------------------------
The wrestling games will begin tomorrow, with the finals next Tuesday.

Sink swimming
-------------------------
The last minute flip flops of the organizing committee have led to the addition of Sink Swimming to the games.

Boxing.
------------

The boxing competition has been quite a thrill for the spectators.
Matches have started out as boxing, then rapidly turn into wrestling matches followed by the cat-letes chasing each other thru the venue.

It also noted that the participants mistake the
sound of the bell for one of those little plastic balls that rings when you throw it.;) which may be a cause to the break in the action.

I would have loved to see the boxing competition!!! :)

Just look at Filou, he's great! :)

Kirsten

I agree. Filou has a most impressive jab!

Here’s another Swede - Costello – in the Goofy Fish Gobbler Competition!

[This is a bit off topic but I wanted to let you know that I'm sorry for the lack of updates of the team photos lately. I'm not doing very well and I don't have the energy for fun stuff. But please don't let this ruin the fun for anyone else here. I'm sorry... :(]

Oh oh oh, when is the sumo final? I want to be glued to the television for that. I don't want to miss a thing!

:( since you started this thread, I have been wondering where you have been! since you started this kind of "creavity" thread, hope you're okay, nothing serious... we still want you on this pet talk site!

anyway, don't worry, my some of cats are still in competion and won't stop the whole word for just a sick person, ;) you started the fun - we finish the fun!

*get-well* hugs... =|
