2010-09-28T08:47:00.000-07:00

And now, with no further adieu, I present

The 2010 Do The Q! WINNERS!

Best Monty Q: Ducky!

http://doingtheq.blogspot.com/2010/08/ducky-does-q.html

We had a three way tie for this next category, so we had an impartial judge give the final vote.

Best Full Monty: Jasmin!

http://doingtheq.blogspot.com/2010/08/jasmines-full-monty-with-q.html

Best Interpretation on a Theme: Beau Beau!

http://doingtheq.blogspot.com/2010/09/full-monty-stretch.html

Viewer's Choice: Chey!

http://doingtheq.blogspot.com/2010/08/zipped-up-q.html

Best Tuxie: Miss Boo!

Best Cat House: Busby!

http://doingtheq.blogspot.com/2010/09/busby-best-cat-house.html

Concatulations to all of the winners! There were a lot to choose from, (and dang I'm glad I didn't have to vote...), and this is always a fun way to spread some love around the blogosphere.

For the winning kitties, please email me at Doing the Q AT gmail DOT com so we can get'cher prizes out to you. But the bragging rights start now, however.

We'll be back next year with new categories and ways to play!

We're counting!

2010-09-28T01:13:00.000-07:00

We have two tied categories this year and are waiting for the judge's recount. Once we confirm everything we'll get the winners announced!

TIME TO VOTE!

2010-09-08T07:34:00.000-07:00

Sir Edmund commands you!

(Yeah, it isn't me, but it's one of MomBean's favorite entries, like evar.)

Here's what you need to do, head over to the contest blog and peruse all of the entries. Then write down your favorite for each category and send them to Doingtheq AT gmail DOT com. You don't have to enter to vote, either-as long as you have a blog you can enter.

...pet blog, btw. Don't be asking 324,234 beans to come over and vote for you. It'll take MomBean forever to count them and we won't have a winner until Moosh hits Kindergarten.

Nikita Cat - Full Monty Xmas 2009

I am Nikita Cat

Professor of the Nikita Institute of Pussydom Studies (NIPS)

The Most Opinionated Cat in America

With Talent on Loan from The Ceiling Cat!

I am Age 12, and have been blogging since 2002, and since New Years Day on my own Blog.

I had this picture taken to prove, once and for all, that THIS Nikita is a Guy.

I mean, after years of mistaken Gender Identification by readers, it was clear that desperate measures were needed to put an end to it, hee, hee! ;-D

I'm very happy to announce I am one of the sponsors of Monty's "Do the Q" contest. I am offering this nifty zippered little bag as a prize for the "Best Tuxie." Any Tuxie, cat, woofie or any other black and white pet, will be eligible.

This does not include the home the entrant shares w/ their humans. must be a cat sized house w/ entrant inside. entrant may be sleeping, eating, staring or whatever they so desire. prize will be a box filled with all sorts of goodies (includes but not limited to nip filled toys, toys, nip, & treats)."

(Can I enter my own contest?)

We're also opening up sponsored categories again this year!

If you're interested email me at doingtheq@gmail.com.

Rules:

There aren't too many!

The contest is open to all kitties who blog.

(Well, really we'll allow other bloggin' animals,we've had woofQ's, and bunQ's, and even a hamQ one year too...)

One official picture for pose per kitty/animal, and please title each one!

To quote Skeezix: "It's my contest, so I can change the rules anytime I want."

It's one kitty pic per pose, but you can enter both poses. And if you're a multi-cat household each kitty can enter both times too. (I think I just confused myself...)

Example:

Donny and Marie and Casey all live together, so each of them can submit two pictures each: one Full Monty and one Monty Q. (If they do each pose.)

Please submit all pictures by August 31th!!!

How To Enter:

Take a picture of yourself in one of the two poses and post it here by logging into the contest page as doingtheq AT gmail DOT com, with FullMonty as the secret word.

If you need help postin' pictures please let me know on my blog over here.

Please post your name, pose, year and blog address with your picture-example:
