Yes, that's right, it's Cat-O-Lympics time again!
Two years ago the Cat Blogosphere hosted the Cat-O-Lympics and everyone had such a good time that I thought we'd do it again. If you don't remember the last time, or you weren't even blogging then, you can check out the event on my blog here, here, here, here, here and here. Other cats hosted different events on their blogs too, and that's what is going to happen this year.
The event I am hosting is Competitive Napping. The winner of this event last time around was Tuna from the Kitty Stampede blog, as you can see here:
Tuna was a worthy winner.
And now it's your turn. From 27 July, this blog and several others will be hosting Cat-O-Lympic events. Our event is Competitive Napping, and here is Teddy to show you how it's done.
The rules are simple. You must be napping. If you're napping in a place where you shouldn't be, then so much better.
Yes, that's Teddy in the washing machine.
Alternatively, you can nap in a dramatic pose. See Tuna's photo above, or this one from Teddy:
So those are the rules. Here's how to enter:
- You must submit your entry to me no later than Friday 13th July (whatever time zone you're in).
- You must email me your picture, together with the name of the cat/dog competing AND a link to your blog by sending it to huffleAThufflemawsonDOTnet.
- Competing in this event means that you are giving me permission to use your picture for the Cat-O-Lympics 2012.
- Your picture does not have to be new but you must not have used it in the previous Cat-O-Lympics 2010.
- Each cat or dog can enter each event once.
- Entry is open to all cats and dogs. You do not need to have a blog to enter.
Here is a list of the other events being hosted during the Olympics:
Allie, Ellie, Tamir, Cubby and Clifford are hosting Smackdown. Information on how to enter will be up soon on their blog.
Wally, Ernie and Zoey are hosting Synchronised Snoozing. Check their blog in coming days for information on how to enter.

Oh, this is so exciting! (Except that there wasn't a picture of YOU on the blog today -- just Hambone!) I'm going to go rest up, think of an idea, then take a nap! I love this kind of competition!
Play bows,
Zim
Excellent work Teddy and Huffle! So happy many kitties are excited about the olympics.
I think Quill is a champion napper. Unfortunately he is so fast he is hard to take a picture of doing anything else.
How exciting! We are all expert nappers!
Oh so excited, we're posting about the Balance Beam competition tomorrow! We are going to use the exact same timeframe as you are, kind of like the real Olympics. Oh wait....these ARE REAL!

How exciting Huffle!!!! We just began blogging at the end of February 2010 so sadly we missed all that fun but we'll definitely be participating this time :-)
Well! Welcome back furiends!! I do *think* I remember you Huffle, and wasn't there some other goony little guy too??? Hmmm, Olympics, huh? Well, I am not verreh athletic, but I *am* a good sleeper.....
I am so in on this! I have been in training all the year long! I am ready to bring home the gold!!!!!
If you need any judges let me know!
Not heard of this event before but Kizzie is sure she will be able to compete in at least one of the events.
Finally an event that Sammy and Moosey can enter! :)
What fun! You can expect our entry soon!
Oh boy !!!! This sounds fun :)
We love the superb examples :)
Purrs Tillie and Georgia,
Tiger,Treasure and JJ
Pisi and Squeak are very excited about this! We wonder, like Sweet Purrfections, if it must be a recent picture.
Pisi thinks you need a kitty tantrum event. She would win, paws down. ;)
We've made Mummy take note and we are practicing now...
Nishiko and Xanthe xxx
Did you get our email about the Olympics; new badges, etc.??
Thanks, Ann
hey Huffle Mawson and Teddy,
Furry exciting! I am a bit out of shape, let myself go since I had no snow this Winter to play in. I will have to start exercising to gear up for the big competition!
You had such pawsome entries last time I can't wait to see what happens this year!
Suka
How exciting!
Is it too late to host an event?
Purrchance To Dream would like to host the RedDotAthon if events are still able to be added.
This sounds like fun!! With my gang of seven, it will be hard to narrow it down to one entry... they are all EXCELLENT nappers!!
Deb and her furry gang - Zee, Zoey, Mia, Peanut, Rolz, Harley, and Jazz

Hello beautiful Huffle Mawson! Me and Charlie would like to know if we may use the pawlympics badge you have here for our blog to link to petblogginggames.blogspot (link sent by Ann)? We just thought it's a fun thing to link to! We're not pawticipating - we're happy to be part of the audience to this monumental event! Take care
