Welcome to the medal ceremony for Competitive Napping in the Cat-O-Lympics! It's been a pretty exciting week of competition, I must say. Before we go on, I'd like to thank Fin for hosting the Cat-O-Lympics in the first place, to Glogirly (Katie's human) for making the medals, and to every single kitty and pup who entered the competition. Every one of you did a marvellous job and it was extremely difficult for the judges to make a final decision.
As we saw yesterday, Paddy took out the People's Choice award for that truly amazing Treestyle Napping photo. Congratulations once again Paddy. Now, the medallists.
I have awarded medals in two categories. The first category is general napping and there were a lot of amazing entries in this field.
The second category is "sleeping where you're not meant to". This was optional and I had some very impressive entries in this category too. I'm going to call this the "naughty" category.
The general bronze medal winner, for demonstrating that sleeping with your head down the stairs is comfortable, is Jack-a-Roo from Cybersibes. Congratulations Jack!
The naughty bronze medal winner is Drill Sgt Zim of the Army of Four. He wages an almost daily battle with his mum over being allowed to nap on the Sitzbank. Well done Zim!
Wear your medals with pride!
The general silver medal winner, for managing to sleep while sitting upright, is Shadow from Meow Family. Well done Shadow!
The naughty silver medal winner is Derry from Fuzzy Tails. Not to be thwarted by his mum's attempts to stop him from sleeping in the pot by putting chicken wire over it, Derry ignores the discomfort and carries on! You make me proud, Derry!
Enjoy your silver medals!
The general gold medal winner, for what has to be the most dramatic sleeping pose we've ever seen, is Tuna from Kitty Stampede.
Congratulations Tuna, you beat out some wonderful competition to win the gold.
And the naughty gold medal winner, for being the naughtiest kitty to strike a napping pose anywhere in the world, is Snafu from Cat of Nine Tails.
I'm so proud of you, I could burst, Snafu! Enjoy your gold medal!
Once again, thank you to every single pup and kitty who entered. I would have liked to give a medal to everyone who competed, so I hope you've all collected your participation badge at the very least!

Congratulations to all the Medalists, competitors and YOU, Huffle! We just can't imagine how you narrowed that down to 3 in each category. Fabublous!
You did an absolutely amazing job organising this, Huffle. Thank you!
We didn't realize there were more awards, we thought the People's Choice was it. So our human was especially surprised to Derry win silver in the naughty napping category. Wow, thank you!
Congratulations to all the medal winners--and to everyone who competed, because all the entries were fantastic.
And a huge thank you to Huffle and her mom, who put so much hard work into this. Bravo!

Congrats to all your winners AND participants, Huffle!! And you and Mum did a great job. We were very happy to see two of our sibe pals win too although it is very hard for us to see how anything we do could be naughty.

Those are certainly all medal worthy entries! Good choices Huffle and enjoy your well deserved day off!
Thank you everyone for voting for Shadow. He is now enjoying his favorite treats :). Congrats to all the winners. Everyone was fantastic!
I sent out the previous comment a bit too early. didn't get to finish typing my name :). Anyway have a relaxing Sunday everyone!
I competed! I got my badge and I'm out of here. NOT. I'm not that rude. :) Congrats to our winners! Huffle, you were a wonderful host and I had a terrific time participating and voting. Thank you very much for another great experience in blogland.
Twink!
YAY! I will have to inform Tuna of the news..she is sleeping now, not nearly as dramatic as she was for the competition, mind you. I will have to get her some of the finest soft food money can buy as a reward to go along with her medal. ;)
Congrats to all the other competitors...you are all winners!!
Thanks Huffle Mawson for hosting such a fun event. :D
Have a Great Rest of your Sunday.

Congrats to all the winners!!
hey Huffle Mawson,
I feel a bit sad that the games are over and the excitement has ended. It was certainly a great time and you and your mum did a super job in awarding the medals. And all the competitors were top notch! Thanks for putting on a great game! Can't wait until the next Cat-O-Lympics!

Congrats to all the winners!

That is some serious napping. I don't think I could sleep sitting up like that. I like to lay down. My mum and dad check to see if I died sometimes. They say no cat should sleep in that type of pose.
Woooos! Congrats to all of the winners and competitors! What a fun show this has been to watch, can we do it again next week?
-Kira The BeaWootiful
Congratulations to all the winners!! Paddy totally rules as the People's Choice winner, and Huff, you made some tough but fair choices for the other winners. Well done, madam!
