PAWS Contest: Best Cat to Watch TV With

It's PAWS kitty contest time again! This month's CATegory is "Best Cat to Watch TV With." :)

There are actually quite a few PAWS kitties who show some interest with the what goes on inside "the box with the moving pictures," which made it difficult to whittle the list down to just three finalists. But by selecting the cats who are TRUE TV ADDICTS, we were able to do it. So without further adieu, here are your finalists:

Bootz: this master of floof and whiskers -- and avid watcher of "Cat TV" -- has made tremendous strides since coming to PAWS. Though he's still a little wary of strangers, he'll plop right down on the couch next to people he knows for snuggles and pets. Here he is demonstrating the proper technique for whapping a bird on TV...
















Sheila is another cat who has come out of her shell with the love and care she's received from the volunteers and staff at PAWS. She's even learned that it's possible for multiple kitties to live together in relative harmony in one of the shelter's "open" rooms. Throughout it all, one thing's been clear ... this girl lives for watching (and interacting with the) TV. And as seen in the her screen capture (below, right), she isn't afraid to take on a bird that appears to be bigger than her!









Sasha and Reeses
: TV-watching is just one of the things these relative newcomers enjoy. Besides stalking birds and squirrels on the television screen, they also show great affinity for their volunteer friends offering pets, laps, belly rubs and toys.

It's always tough picking a winner, but the judges were swayed by Sheila's unbridled enthusiasm and the fact that she has her own workout video. So the winner of "Best Cat to Watch TV With" is Sheila!

ConCATulations, Sheila! And kudos to the other finalists, too. You are ALL stars to us, and we're working hard to find your PURRfect forever homes (with televisions, of course!). :)

Aw they are all such cuties! And it is funny - they are all black and white cats. Our tuxie Virgil was a big TV watcher - makes me wonder if there is something in the black and white gene!

We love your TV watching skills, Bootz! The other winners are adorable too!

Nice going Sheila. You are a good TV watcher. We want some cat TV although we get to go outside so we have no complaints. They are all such cute kitties and we hope they find homes really soon. Have a great day.

The Island Cats said...

Congrats to Sheila! They are all good TV watchers!! If we had some good TV programs to watch, we'd watch too! So for now we'll stick to our birdie, squirrel, bunny and vishus deer TV!

Hannah and Lucy said...

The trouble with TV is there is too much talking and not enough birdy and mousey programmes.
