Snow Moon and Cat-O-Lympics

Ha roo, pups and cool cats! It's me - Zim! Before I get started with the main part of today's post, Ammy said there was a great astronomical event last night called the Snow Moon. She explained that's what they call February's full moon. Mom kept going out, trying to get photos of it, but there was too much cloud cover to get a good look at it. Or as Ammy said (wait for it!), "There's snow moon for us tonight, it's too cloudy!" Ha roo roo roo! Get it? Maybe it's funnier when she says it out loud. Try it like that. Anyway, fortunately, Ammy told Mom to go out night before last for some photos, just in case. Here is the night before the Snow Moon:

Pretty cool, huh? If you'd like to see another of Mom's photos, please

OK. So... as many of you know, there was a big event taking place recently - The Cat-O-Lympics! It was a great event and WOW, were the events incredible! The competitors were awesome - each and every one of them! I entered the
Competitive Napping event, as that seemed right up my alley. (You can see my entry here.) Huffle, our host for the event, did an outstanding job - and she had an amazing number of entries! Please stop by her blog and check them out, if you haven't already!

It was an honor to even compete; I was blown away by some of the creative sleeping poses, choice of nap locations, and cute, cute, CUTE looks my fellow competitors came up with. And so... imagine how awestruck I was when I found out I had won the Bronze medal! And in the "sleeping where you aren't supposed to"/"naughty" division!!! WOWZERS!!!!!

Zim won the Bronze Medal!
I took home the Bronze in the "naughty" category!

I am so humbled! Many thanks to Huffs, and concatulations to all the participants. All of you were totally awesome!

How best to celebrate? Olympic runners usually do a victory lap, so I think it's fitting that I take a nap! (HEY! Marvin! I made a poem! Cool, huh?) And where better than on that ever-so-comfy (yet still allegedly forbidden) sitzbank?!!?

I'm a medal-winning Cat-O-Lympian! Alert the media!

Tell me this wouldn't look cool on the front page of our home-town newspaper:

I'm ready and willing to do a photo shoot for the media; just waiting for the calls to start.

Did I mention I was in the naughty division?

Yeah... I'm bad!

Ha roo roo roo! Thanks again to everyone - especially Huffle and her mum, who put an awful lot of work into making this a fun event. I think they both need some ham... don't you?

Play bows,
Zim

  2. Congrats, Zim, on the Napping Award but, wait a minute, NAUGHTY division? I don't think so. You are the King of the Good Boys as far as I am concerned. Just because you can't resist a snooze on your forbidden trunk, doesn't make you Naughty!

    Kisses,
    Stella

  9. I think you're going to have to watch out for the pupparazzi every time you leave the house now Zim. They'll be wanting your photo, trying to catch you doing something wrong, photographing you in an indelicate pose...

    Congratulations on your bronze medal, you totally deserved it.

  11. Congrats!

    The moon was very pretty, mom wishes she could stay up that late to see it, but she has to sleep by 9. :)

  12. Yes, it was fun to compete even though I wasn't in the running. Congratulations on your Bronze Medal, Zim. We all think you should have won an award for perseverance too, since you continue to sleep there despite your mom's disapproval.

  14. Does the newspaper photograph come with the byline - Wanted! Thought not. We knew you were allowed to sleep there.

  21. Congrats Zimmie on your medal! We bet the Mercury would put you on the front page in full color to show off your handsome eyes and red hair and of course your Bronze medal!

    Pretty moon shot too!

  22. Great entry Zim! Watch out for the Pupparazzi and all those fans who will be lining up - the weird ones come out at full moon!!!!!

    Not naughty at all though... spy a comfortable convenient seat and apply bottom. Whats wrong with that?

  24. Congratulations Zim! Weren't we both surprised to win Bronze medals amidst all that napping talent? I was happy to receive one in the General Napping category, and was furry happy to see woo got one in the "Naughty" category - woo-hoo!!! way to go!

    I love Ammy's joke ( as always). And I gotta say it - "Snow Moon that beawootiful should be hidden by cllouds!" (hee hee)

  25. I'm starting to have my doubts that the sitzbank is actually forbidden. I mean, your mom has way too many pictures of you on it for it to really be forbidden.

    PS. Mom has started a new sewing project of a quilted wall hanging, so your mom better watch out in case she needs help. :-)
