6. Depends on the contest--and the cat
Jessica (Ms. Skinny because she's diabetic) would win almost any eating contest. She will stay skinny, but she eats everything in sight;

Garibaldi (Mr. Fat Cat at 22 lbs) would win the "I'm as stupid as crap, but I do cut an imposing figure" contest;

Jean-Luc (Mr. Lean and Mean-Looking, but who's really a wussy pussy) would win any staring contest;

Delenn (Ms. "I look innocent, but I'm really a bitch, and don't you forget it!") would win any wrestling match with a male;

and finally, the youngster,

Oliver (Mr. I've got the biggest eyes in the world) would win in a "Ingratiate yourself with your mistress in the fastest time" contest. Within a week after his arrival, he was cuddling close and sleeping under the covers.

12. I have to disagree with Beast Man...
Coleman would have to entered into the Kneading Endurance competition. Ellie would be in the Staring at Owners until they get up from what they are doing to give me my cat food competition.

21. My cat would be competitive in several events.
1. ALWAYS running through the living room, scared to death of actually being seen by people.
2. Meowing and wanting to be petted, then running away when you try.
3. Jumping in your lap, being petted, then hissing for no reason, running away and hiding under the bed for 24 hours.

Yes, my cat is nuts.

34. your cat has competition !!!
one of my cats maya a girl kitty whose now 15 will compete for the gold in these events...
nuts is a good way to describe it...

however, when i retire to bed she always finds 10 minutes before i sleep to lay upon my chest for a petting marathon... immediately she goes into extreme purring mode and i get the best heart message as her purring is so heavy and deep...

i swear it brings my heart rate and blood pressure way way down and is the best medicine for me...

IMPEACH THE CHIMP IMPEACH THE CHIMP IMPEACH THE CHIMP :D

25. Lucy's expected to take silver or bronze
in Climbing Stuff That Makes Her Go "Shit, Now What?" When She Wants Down.

And she's the odds-on favorite for her third gold in Greco-Roman Mousing (8-pound weight class).

I say that all of my four cats will take a gold in something...
Midnight will win in "tenacity & endurance." She was born with a chronic sinus problem, managed to get herself lost in a blizzard for two weeks a few years ago (presumed dead), has lost all her fang teeth, and went on a 3 mile hike with me yesterday. By the way, do not tell this little 8lb cat with a black leather spiked collar that she is old. She will kick the ass of any cat that goes into her territory, even the largest tom. My stepdad swears it's all in her stare. She was also the only surviving kitten out of her litter. A true alley cat. Her mother and three siblings were holed into a wall in an alley behind our old apartment where they died.

Ginsberg will win in "fastest decapitation of a fully-grown wild rabbit." It was disturbing, but killing is what he does best.

Cuddles, the confused Ragdoll cat, will win for "best impersonation of a lazy, but schizophrenic German Shepherd." What can I say, our old dog adopted the thing.

Peaches, the less crazy, but lead a really shitty life rescue Ragdoll cat, will win for "best impersonation of a song bird." The sliding glass doors looking onto the pool and birdfeeders are cat tv for this one. The chirps every 3 seconds while twitching and planning to kill birds. She is an indoor cat, as is Cuddles.

Midnight and Ginsberg get to wander at will. Hell, Ginsberg once walked me home from the bar when I lived in Madison, NJ. That was funny as hell.

29. "Continuous stare at the ceiling"
Mick will certainly win gold at the "Stare at nothing on the ceiling." There are degree of difficulty points added for meowing at the same nothing.

She should also be a contender in the "Under bed sprint" which is started when someone knocks on the door.

catnip in any category. Rolling in, eating, tossing and "discussing" the pros and cons in cat lingo of cat nip.

Also, lap sitting specializing in disturbing humans during computer time.
