Title: A Christmas Cat/Animal Picture Competiton
Post by: Gill (sneakiefeline) on November 23, 2008, 17:35:41 PM
During the auction we are going to be running a mini sorta cat/animal show  ;D

The idea is £1 per picture for entry  and the picture must be your cat/animal in a Christmas situation  :shify: :shify:

The pictures need to be sent to me or Tan, our emails are in our profiles and we will post them on this thread. Dont forget your cats/animals  name and your Purrs name in the email  :evillaugh: :evillaugh:

The first stage will be to get the pictures in and posted on this thread and in the last few days of the auction we will add the voting bit  ;D

All the entry fees will go into the auction total for Paws Inn and there will be a £10 Purrs Shop voucher for the winning picture  ;D

Forgot to say this idea comes from ccmacey with thanks  ;D

I can't compete with all the fabulous photos on here and Korky doesn't do Christmas (except for ferreting in the empty plastic carriers after I've taken the Chrissie decorations out) but I have unearthed an old piccie of my darling bridge baby Tiny.  Its very appropriate because I always think of him of my Christmas cat - he came to us on Christmas Eve( and turkey was always his favourite food.

I would like to share the following photos of Reggie (RIP) taken Christmas 2005.  Reg reminded me of my grandad who never opened his Xmas presents - just felt them and said: 'Puzzle - thank you ... tobacco - thank you', and as you can see from these photos, Reggie knew a cat bed when he saw one, why bother to unwrap it :rofl:.  Happy memories.

my doggies

(http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r49/CityKittyFish/animals/maxmas-1.jpg)
Max - 12 years 7 months. He has a form of skin cancer (not deadly... just ugly) and the wettest tongue in the midlands! He was my 12th birthday present and apart from Uni has slept at my feet for all of that time. He is my baby and a great big brother (well, grumpy old uncle type) to Indy and Misha. Unfortunately old age and heart problems have slowed him down somewhat... but he's still thinking of that Christmas turkey  :rofl:

(http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r49/CityKittyFish/animals/doggyxmas-1.jpg)
Poppy and Max, Poppy was 13 yesterday and is diabetic, has been on daily insulin for 4 years and also has arthritis, benign tumours, is blind and a wonky leg, yet despite this sh is happy and bouncing around like a loon. Even though, we aren't sure if she'll even see this Christmas, and Max won't see next years Christmas... so this is my favourite photo of them together
