Photo Competition: Contortionist or Acrobat?


Sadly, Juli feels unable to set the photo competition because she came home from honeymoon to find that Echo was gone. I am sure that we all send HUGS to Juli and hope with all our might that Echo is found safe and comes home again.

So, as I (or rather Pip) came second in the competition, I have been asked to step forward.

Our next competition will be linked to The Camilles – a Catsey version of The Oscars and, because a photograph will be the only way of showing what strange and amazing contortions or acrobatic poses your cat or kitten can get themselves into; that will be the theme. For background please see http://www.catsey.com/showthread.php?t=39315

Please select a photo of your cat or kitten enjoying his or her best yoga or gymnastic pose, with or without apparatus, such as boxes, trees or bird tables. The pose may include your cat’s gym buddy, of whatever species that may be, e.g. Human, Canine or Feline!!!

Have fun! This competition will run until 3rd July and the entry with the highest votes will also win The Bert Award for Best Contortionist or Acrobatic Pose. Don’t forget – only one entry per member and please include your cat’s name with the photo. Good Luck!

Acknowledgement: The contortionist/acrobatic category was proposed by Hreow and named by paulinef2.

CASSIE loves to work out to her favourite 'COOL FOR CATS' CD!



So sorry to hear Echo is missing - I hope she's safe and returns home very soon.

Some of these yoga positions are really difficult

Oh yes, can't exactly find that particular yoga pose, but Eka means "single" and Urdhava means "upward". Well done Leia!
