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

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 last 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 8th!!!

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 NOPE 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:

How cool! I hope I can just get some shots of my kitties off-guard and that I don't have to pose them!

Monty Q certainly does a good demo!
