    How about these for events:

    Bath tub stopper hockey (you can substitute milk rings or bottle caps for the stopper)
    Bath tub paw skating. Is real fun with ceramic coated tubs.

    Best Box as a bed. Requirements are 1) no space left over and 2) no more than 10% of body overhang (0% is preferable)

    Laser Bug chase - that cat must chase and not give up. Longest time requirements
    Anne
    Meowmie to Lucy Lou and Barney, and Aunt to Timmy (RIP)

    Former kitties now in foster care: Nellie aka Eleanor van Fluffytail (at a Cat Cafe), Lady Jane Grey, Bob the Bobtail, and Callie. Kimi has been adopted into another family that understands Siamese. HRH Oliver Woodrow von Katz is in a Sanctuary.

    I'm Homeless, but with resources, and learning to live again.


    RIP Timmy (nephew kitty) May 17, 2018, Mr. Spunky (May 10, 2017), Samwise (Dec 2, 2014), Emily (Oct 8, 2013), Rose (Sept 24, 2001), Maggie (Fall 2003)

    Franklin has been working hard to make the Vocalized Begging and Twist Tie Fetching Teams.
    Chelsea is perfecting her choreographed bird watching routine and has added some lovely but difficult back-arching and tail-swishing elements.

    Love all of these!

    I think Tink would win in the bug hunting. She is relentless and does not give up long after the other two cats have gone to bed. I have seen her stare at the ceiling for very long periods of time!

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -
    Together we stand
    Divided we fall.

    I laugh, therefore? I am.

    I call upon all the cats of the world to assemble
    in London on July 27th for the games of the 2012 Cat Olympics..

    These Games are open to all cats, from every corner of the globe.

    They will be a showcase of the best, the fastest, most talented felines of our times.

    The only change for these Games is the Olympic slogan.......

    Higher, Faster, Sleepier.

    Cassie would like to join Snoopy and Ming in the sleeping events. We think that precious Snoopy will take the gold! Cassie demonstrates her favorite spot, on the love seat, on the cushion sent by Auntie Helene (lvpets2002).


    Edited to say- I have tried twice to re-size the picture so it is the same size as the photo of Maya in #18. I am not sure why Photobucket didn't save the changes. I'm sorry it is so huge!
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    Sleeping events will take place during the second week after all their energy has been used up.

    I am very impressed by Sophie's, Snoopy's and Inka's entries in the sleeping events! They are so sweet! Sophie, Snoopy and Inka, sweety girls! Maya's purr-fect elevator-butt form gives me a huge smile ==> Cassie isn't too concerned about receiving a medal because she is busy... sleeping.
