High Five by Shirlaine Forrest It's my party and I will cry if I want to....cry if I want to ....CRY IF I WANT TO!!!! OK, I didn't cry on my Purrday, well, maybe just a little mew because Momma fitted a new wormie to the Flying Frenzy, a nice bright yellow one especially to match the gold on my crown, so I mewled and whined and wibbled until ManSlave gave in and whacked it about the lounge a few times, it took my breath away. I turned four this year and Momma said it feels like forever. I am not sure if that was meant in the best way? I got a new water fountain in lime green, I hate it, pfft, a water fountain - that's like ManSlave buying Momma a kettle! Never mind, there is always Xmas and I don't suppose I should complain, there are hundreds of thirsty cats out there, including, it seems, Pearl!
The best part of the days celebrations was to invite all my loyal followers from around the world to both enter and judge my QUEEN VEE'S BIRTHDAY BASH. Far flung followers and judges from New Zealand, Aus, America and good old blighty! There were three main classes, one for Knights of the Realm (boys), Ladies of the Court (girls) & Knaves & Maids (kittens). Then that dear crazy cat lady, Shirlaine Forres Photographer extraordinaire, judged a spot class and I had my say in our most active TOP FAN and follower Avallon and his Mum Catherine Blundell.
So, I know you are all champing at the bit to know who has won what??? So, here we go and can I just say, what a turn out with over 300 cats of all shapes and sizes and some real beauties. The classes will be awarded as 1st, 2nd, 3rd and Very Highly Commended for the main three classes. The judges sure did express they had a really difficult time and all said they were trying to choose cats that they felt looked a bit fun and were a tad gutted there was no cuddling to be done. Sigh...That's C-19 for ya - no touchy feely! Below each class is a file you can download to print or keep as a memento of our lovely few days together. Just a moments thoughts for Uncle Paul, who is in hospital having his throat messed with again and couldn't join us as Judge & Jury and to folks who stood up to the challenge.

PHOTOGRAPHER'S CHOICE - Judge Shirlaine Forrest
"Honoured to be guest judge on another virtual cat show, I could get used to this (although it's rather frustrating not being able to give all the kits a good snuggle, you know just to be extra sure they're adorable)" Shirlaine Forrest
1st awarded to Thompson's TEENA BALLERINA - This was the hardest catagory to judge, they were all adorable, but how can you not fall for those ears? They are designed for whispering adorations into.
VHC Brooks' ELLIE - Her Puma colouring is gorgeous. I was surprised by her age too, she looks so youthful, just beautiful.
VHC Plumb's SOOTY - I love his fur, you just want to run your hand through there. He is so relaxed yet has an aware expression.

There you all have it, Quite the selection and we all know would have chosen something different each time and there are just not enough prizes for everyone, especially as Momma and I were only expecting about 20 entries to each category. See, you never really know who is watching secretly from the side lines to our strange and quirky little family! And to that end, I have some amazing followers who, I have to admit, were KS followers first and foremost and I must not forget old Slinks in my great success. However, I have gleaned a healthy number of followers since my 'High Five' escapades at the Supreme cat show in 2019. I have the odd stalker too... shhhh. There is a fancy button you can now select called TOP FAN and lots of you have chosen that on FB and with that I have awarded a special one off TOP FAN certificate to my fave cat in this catagory and especially to their human. This particular follower always has lots of questions to make Momma scratch her head and think quite a lot. There isn't a week that goes by that Ms Blundell trundles out with another inquisitive forthright question. Now THAT's a true follower! So congratulations goes out to AVALLON & CATHERINE for TOP FAN.

DRUM ROLL PLEASE...
Well, Momma rang New Zealand at silly O'clock to get the latest news from the Judge, Nathan Hawkins or Nat The Cat as Momma calls him. Nat is catless and used to look after us when the original pussers Dewie & Boosby were alive back in the 90's. Momma and ManSlave adopted Nat the Cat and he is forever our CatBro. When he took one look at the final candidates for the show last evening his gasped and ummed and aghed at the choice. He picked one and then the other then settled for.... wait for it.... KITTY - Owned by Michelle Findlay. Kitty is a THERAPY CAT and I think once he looked into her exquisite little face he kept cooing "Awwww (sounds like Pikkachoo) Those whiskers." He announced. "Beautiful eyes, Awww, that white tummy and dinky white socks." He starts laughing "Ha, ha, ha what a pose. I wish I could have a cuddle now, she is so relaxed. I want her." Well, I think that was game, set and match. HUGE CONGRATULATIONS!

I really hope you have enjoyed my Birthday Bash? I know many of you follow the blogs and watch our youtube channel already. For those that don't feel free to sign up and enjoy a weekly update of all things crazy cats. Right, after all this excitement, Momma will be in contact with the winners to collect addresses for small token prizes for the first places etc. It was more for a bit of entertainment and fun and I really hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
For now, I am off to check on a little piece of beef that ManSlave ordered from the Simmental breeders in Kennilworth. Their meat is just yummy and this week we will all get a taste of the raw trimmings the nice butcher sends with it. We are a terribly lucky pride don't you know! There is a life times worth of watching the oven heat up, the light shine over the foil and you could live off the fumes. I will press my sniffer to the outlet and doze in the warmth hitting my face. You know what it's like, waiting in line to be first in the queue. I have my sleeping pouch, pillow, food and water and will camp out until it's done.
Enjoy your Sunday folks and see you all next week.
Your gracious and glorious Queen Vee =^..^=
