She really missed her meowmy whilst we were away, got lots of cuddles when she'd finished scoffing her milk and treats  :Luv:

So I've just returned from my holiday this morning to find that my baby Cruz has made it through to the next round -

Cruz is adora-bubble!

So I've just returned from my holiday this morning to find that my baby Cruz has made it through to the next round - thank you all so much for voting for her  :Luv:  :Luv:.  I'm pleased that she's made it this far without the help of her meowmy's votes as I didn't have internet for the week!!.  Now the difficult choice of picking 12 for the final.........  :innocent:  :Crazy:

I know what you mean Dolcetta and I must admit I was a bit embarrassed that the boys had 'got through' more than once and did consider asking for some pics to be taken out of the semis but at the end of the day it was other members that have voted for them (and all the other multiple pic semi finalists) so in the spirit of the show I didn't raise the issue. 

Of course I am really proud that other people see what I see in my baby boys (gorgeous, funny, sweet, loving, cheeky, loyal, beautiful angels) but the main point of the cat show is to raise as much dosh as possible for cat rescues which is why I, and others, entered lots of pics of our beloved cats  :)

I would just like to add something to what Tan has posted, well two things LOL.

I have a much bigger hat than Tan and was keeping the subject of next years show under my hat  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

About the number of pictures of the same cat/s I would just like to add that we encouraged peeps to enter the show in as many classes as possible and this year to get more entries, as many pics of their cats that they liked in each class cos the more entries the more money we raise.

Now we are into the semi-finals of the voting you the voters again decide which 12 go through to the final so each stage of the voting is decided by the voters and of course you have loads of choice where to put your votes  ;D........am thinking of an additional competition to be added on to the cat show next year........who gets the top 12 right  :rofl: :rofl:

Last year I learned a lot about running the Cat Show, the more classes you have the more complicated it is to run and to enter and to vote. The more rules we have the harder it is for everyone, so this year have pruned the number of classes and also the rules.

This year I have found that maybe the classes were trimmed too much  :rofl: :rofl: but think the rules are about right...........this is definately a learning curve and going by Class 5 this year,and also the number of peeps who sent captions with their entries which were not Class 5, next year is going to be one great big laugh an entry and when times are hard, we all need a good laugh.

I have certainly had some laughs this year with Class 5 and all I can say is to start snapping now and shove the best ones in a special folder for next years Cat Show because they will all be Class 5 but Class 5 will be in different classes  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:.....if you get my drift!  ;D ;D

Finally, please vote cos the cats deserve your support and lots of luck to all  :hug:

Thanks for voting hun  :Luv: 

Ya right is so very hard as all entered are wonderful and helped in the most important part which was the fundraising for the needy cats. Lol i personally would have loved all of them to go through  but to be fair we had to take the voting results that the members voted for so if a cat pic had got through twice it would be unfair to not put that pic through when it got the votes. To only put one pic of the same cat through would mean we would have to choose which pic and we dont want any say in who goes through but only want the members votes to decide or an independant judge to pic any ties.  :Luv:

I def to perfer the lol caption pics cause its more on what the slave puts for a caption with the pic in mind so not so much on the goregous cat by his or herself. Next year will only be lol caption show  ;) This also means that if there is the same cat but with diff captions, it will be a diff thing to vote on.  ;D

Again it was very difficult but I managed to cast my votes.  It seemed a bit of a pity though, I see repeated entries from the same kitty in the second round, while well deserved I agree, I wish just one photo could have represented one kitty, so that would have left more chances for some other beauties who missed the second round... (though, of course, that would have made the semi-final voting even more difficult!)

Me too! Just saw 'new posts' and got all excited. I am also very aware that if my babies lose, they have lost to some stunning competition! I'm especially worried about gorgeous Lucas, superhandsome Riley and young Raffles who is a dark horse...  :evillaugh:

Aww, the boys are honoured  :shy:  Of course I hope they do well but it really is the taking part that counts  :)  Can't wait to hear which gorgeous cats got through, the voting was sooo hard and we'll have to do it all over again soon!

Results are being done now and i not far from finishing so it wont be long before they are released.

This is the bit i get worried about lol cause we dont want anyone to be upset that their wonderful lad or lass is not in semi final.  The votes have been huge and soooo close in every class you would not believe how many classes there has been ties or 1 point in it to go through.

Each and every gorgeous cat has done very very well and each are top cats in our eyes  :wow: Thanks soo very much for all the cats entered, without you wonderful lot we wouldn't be handing money over to our rescues to help the needy ones  :Luv: ;D
