She is a student

You may want to elect a big, fat bloatcat as best cat. You might choose a grotesque, rumpled pile of ballskin. Even a monochrome heap of matted fur, dragged unwillingly over hill and dale might seem like a fair choice. Any of those choices would be fair if there were not a champion in your midst.

#13. Gumbo.



You are her constituency. She represents you and all you hold dear. Vote for Gumbo (#13)

Do you prefer dogs? Gumbo does things that dogs do. She plays fetch. She licks all sorts of poo poo for no reason. Gumbo loves things that stink. Her favorite food is brisket. Dog lovers, fans of brisket and bad odors vote for Gumbo! (#13)



Gumbo makes stupid faces!







She can be smug...



But she knows how to be humble...



And brave...



Do you like kids? Gumbo likes kids, and kids like her...



Sex appeal? Gumbo has no shame...





Gumbo is #13. She's not that exotic, or comically obese and she hasn't been dragged around the globe by her neck for our amusement. She isn't my cat. Not your cat. She's OUR cat. We all have some Gumbo in us. And THAT is why Gumbo (#13) deserves to be the best cat.

Hello, new thread. This is Speedball - #44




Fun Fact: Speedball is a Singapura, which is a completely not-made-up breed that was totally discovered in Singapore and isn't just a Burmese and an Abyssianian gettin' it on.




Singapuras are some of the smallest cats. Here is Speedball next to a scale model of a cat called Dolly.




Speedball likes high places a great deal...




...from which she can photobomb our other cat Dolly's artistic endeavours. The background blur is Speedball. This is mostly what she looks like without special cameras.




Dolly wasn't super impressed, but Speedball is also a master of disguise, or a ninja, or whatever they call ninja's in not-really-Singapore, and so evaded retribution




Despite this sideline, Speedball mostly keeps her nose clean and out of trouble...




...except for sending creepy MMS messages to me at work




So vote for Speedball #44 (See also other Speedball posts for more Speedball!)

My candidate is very happy to be moving onto the next round!

Unfortunately, she's sleeping but imo you can still tell she's super excited.


Have some baby Bubbleses and other Bubble butts thru the ages!








:same: bubs, the editing nearly put me to sleep too ...




Bubbles loev my old af J. Lo jacket




Vote #62 Bubbles, because she is a chill cat that loves the snuggles and the smell of a good nug. The bestest friend of all!

Oh also one time she got lost in a city she wasn't familiar w/ and I couldn't find her before I had to get back to my town for work, and thought all was lost, then 3 days later my friend called me to say Bubbles had found her way to his house. I went and picked her up that night!! It was a six hour round trip bitch I was all, welp if you love something let it go but if it comes back ...

Destiny cat !!!!


e: i lied we're not done yet

Look how much she loved her bed!! she'd snug with me at night then move over to her bed when she actually wanted to sleep, like fuckin clockwork. Sadly we lost it in our last move and she has taken up residence on my pillows and will often shove me off of them b/c she a baller like that




ugh what a top tier cat tho!!! vote bubs!!

Kiska #16 because she has no concept of things being edible (because she is dumb) and will leave you alone.

Things she has been offered and sniffed at in mild perplexity include fresh salmon, halibut, king crab, and tuna.

Things I have personally seen her eat include wood and cardboard.

I love my dumb cat.

Reason #214 that I love my dumb idiot fucker cat (Kiska #16):

I often wake up to this in the morning:





Reason #215 that I love my dumb idiot fucker cat (still Kiska, still #16)

I am very short and she is also a big cat in addition to being a dumb one, about 15 pounds. Because of this I basically have a cat whose back comes up to my knee and who can stretch from my chin to my knees for hugs :kimchi:



She is also at face level on many bookshelves which is fine because she is a lover and not a fighter and just wants to headbutt me in the face and snort-purr.

All hail the queen!
A lot of these fine cats bring something wonderful to this competition. However, Phyrexian Obliterator (#28) combines all of these things in one unique (hairless) package.

Some of these cats love going for walks outside, some love showing off their wardrobe, others just roll around looking cute. Rexie does all of this and more!

She has furry friends who support her....







learns faster than most small children....







watches tv to keep up with world events....





spies on the neighbors when we go outside.....



is into cosplay....



is a hide and seek champion....



maintains an extensive closet of clothes for all seasons....







takes care of humans who have wisdom teeth removed.....



enjoys perusing these fine forums....



tolerates the humans who torment her for the internet's amusement....

https://i.imgur.com/CmH7TZ5.mp4



but then torments those same humans with cuteness when they're trying to get work done....







She's meticulous about her hygiene.....



though can sometimes be judgmental of others.....



She has the best toes....



the most wrinkles....



the most attitude (picked up from her bitchy Bengal sister)...



the most fashion sense....



just the most everything....














VOTE PHYREXIAN OBLITERATOR, MAKER OF BISCUITS!

Moo Moo (#43) mooing around the desert with her brother





Walking multiple cats at once with multi leash magic:



Dumb Lowtax posted:

A couple weeks ago we took our cats Moo Moo and Luga on a road trip with us to the ski mountains to stay in an airbnb with us. At eight hours this was their first long trip ever, and Luga's first time walking anywhere on a leash. They did so well with four people and two cats in the car. We pulled over a few times where there were trails to let them stretch their legs. For about an hour they were either walking from plant to plant to sniff it, or running off at a good pace towards random points no matter how hard we tried to get them to go between the rocks marking the trail. When I ran off into the rocks they ran really fast to follow and look for me. We finally picked them up to bring them back to the cars, when they really would have preferred to keep running around. But once Moo Moo realized we were headed back to the car she asked to be set down, ran back to the car, and eagerly packed herself away.

Getting Moo Moo into the car:



Moo Moo is an amazing cat. She let us walk her on a leash the first week we adopted her from a rescue. She plays fetch, chasing springs around the house and bringing them back in her mouth.

A couple weeks after adopting her we were just sitting around the couch working on laptops and out of the corner of my eye saw her suddenly do a triple backflip forward off of a little soft cube bench, and land perfectly on the floor in front of her. As if that wasn't shocking enough she also was chewing on something that she had apparently caught in mid air, explaining the backflips. That's when we knew Moo Moo was something special or even supernatural and that we were extremely lucky that she chose us.
