Our Mommy and her Olympic-Sized Apology!

Kitties!

KonaKitty here, and as you can see I am totally disgusted with our Mommy.  She has got to be the worst secretary we've ever had!

*sigh*

Would you like to hear about her latest atrocity?

Of course you would.

Mommy, tell our pals about how you screwed up.

Do I have to?

YES!  Your choices are either 'fess up, or eat a corvid, without ketchup!

A CORVID?

Mommy, you are a moron.  Corvid = Crow.  

Make good with your apology or you get to consume a crow, sans condiments.

KonaKitty, you are one tough Kat.  It's a good thing you're so cute...

Mommy's Confession:

Gmail screwed up the Kat's account and I missed two entries into their Counter Surfing Event so here they are and I'm verreh verreh sorry and it will never happen again and please don't stick your claws in me!!!

Very good, Mommy.  Now, here are the final and last two entries!

(that we know of.)

This fine canine behind belongs to Sarge!

We like how he's hangin' eight so close to the edge.

Little Isis takes her Surfing seriously!

Just look at the concentration in her eyes.

Sarge and Isis, you both win GOLD!

Mommy has to update our page with a few entries, but you can bet your pawpads that I'll make sure she gets it done, and soon.  Because I'm a secretarial stickler!

That's sticker, sweetheart.  StickER.  With your claws, on my pillowy protuberances.

Happy Friday!

XX  KonaKitty, the Enforcer  XX

Even MOAR Counter Surfing!

Kitties!

Salem here.

Our Mommy is a terrible person, oh yes she is, because somehow she LOST some entries for our Counter Surfing Event!  Naturally she tried to pass it off as G-Mail's fault but WE know better.

EVERYTHING that goes cattywampus around here is somehow her fault, cos we are perfect! 

Right, Sweet Pea?

*snarf smack lickety lick lick lick*

Oh good grief.

Let's see the Surfers!

 Here's Savannah, practicing for the Surfing X-Games--the Bird & Board event!

Tutu never surfs alone...she has faithful Dishy to dry off with!

Boomer's in the curl...

...and it appears that Cosmo has wiped out!

Savannah, Tutu, Boomer and Cosmo, please accept your GOLD MEDAL!

And rest assured that Mommy will be properly punished.

Now I gotta run...I see a wave to catch...INCOMING!

Happy Thursday!

2012 Olympic COUNTER SURFING!!!

Kitties!

We had TONS of fun hosting the Counter Surfing event.  

Let's check out the competition:

It's Prancer Pie teaching little bro Princeton not only the fine art of counter surfing, but also synchronized snarfing!

Here's Sadie, boldly surfing in front of the kitchen sink.  Mommy laughed, the picture file was called "caught".

Madi performs some serious multi-tasking while surfing, assisting her Mom with making lists, and guarding the coffee maker.

We have a Group Surf here with the Hooligans from Zee and Zoey!

Bottom on stool: Mia

Bridge from counter to stool: Peanut

Center counter: Rolz

Front left counter:  Zee

Front right counter: Zoey

Hanging her top half (and five!) is the intrepid Cory.  Note her great form on the rounded edge!

Goro cranks up the difficulty a notch by surfing-inna-box.  No word on whether or not the beer is his...

Aila has a roll of paper towels handy in case the surfing involves actual water...

...and her mosquito ninja sister Jaava...well...we don't know quite WHAT to say about this!

"As soon as the ZH makes the hot sauce, that shrimp is mine, all mine", says Zoey.

HOLY CODFISH!!

Katie's in a bikini!

 Devon isn't merely counter surfing…there is actual water involved, with a high level of balancing and acrobatic skillz!

Hangin' eighteen is a natural for Wally Island Cat...

...when he can get the spot away from his brother, Ernie!

(who has WAY more than eighteen toes...)

And a fabulous team effort from both handsome Island Mancats!

Our only Woofie entry is Roo...Holy CATS...Roo is catchin' a Major Wave!

Ellie & Allie have a defiant 'tude to their team surf--look at those laser!

Allie is surfin' where it's hot hot hot...

...while Ellie likes to ride the cool sink wave.

Looks like Derby is coming ashore for a snack...

...and discuss beverage options with his brother Ducky!

Chloe is the woozle-whapping sister of Oskar. 

 This is an advanced move kitties...she's in the Counter Pipe!

Surfing all the way into the bathroom is Katie Isabella--we hope she doesn't sink!

Silver Prince Genji-Chan strikes a pose...

...while his brother Bibi-Chan shows us some hot moves!

This cool surfer dude is Domino, one of the Kwee Cats...

...while his rad bro Oliver snack superintends...

...and Pungy lasers above the waves...

Dudes!

Pretty Poppy (Popcorn) is surfing AND helping!  

Multitasking at it's finest.

Chloe surfs with her buddy, Stuffed Duck!

Our final entry is Utah, one of the fosters at Random Felines...he started surfing as a tiny tadpole!

Kitties, we have a confession:  We couldn't choose a winner, and Mommy really wanted EVERY entrant to win, so we pronounce ALL the contestants GOLD MEDAL WINNERS!

Please feel free to take this medal for your sidebar.

Some of you wrote us that you were "Not Allowed" on the counters, and couldn't participate...and we feel a little bad about that.  Next time we'll do a more inclusive event!

Happy Wednesday, and enjoy the Games, Furry and Human!

COUNTER SURF with the Kats in the 2012 Cat-O-Lympics!

Kitties!

Sweet Pea here.

Just a sec...lemme get down...

...because I want to tell you about the 2012 Cat-O-Lympics!

This year we are sponsoring a new sport, COUNTER SURFING!

Thank you Nellie for the graphic!

 The rules are simple.

cowabunga!

All you need is an actual picture of yourself (no photoshop) on a counter! (or worktop, for you Brits)

Bathroom counters are fine, too.

Extra points for doing something naughty fun!

hangin' 36!

Synchronized Surfing adds a degree of difficulty...use a prop if you're an only kitty!

cabana cat

Oh, and being IN a box (or whatever) ON the counter counts!  It's not necessary to surf bare-naked.  Unless you want to, of course.

Here's the fine print:

1.  You must submit your entry to us no later than midnight, 7/13/12, PST.

2.  You must email us your picture, together with the name of the cat/dog competing AND a link to your blog and send it to katniploungeATgmailDOTcom.

3.  Competing in this event means that you are giving us permission to use your picture for the Cat-O-Lympics 2012.

4.  Your picture does not have to be new but you must not have used it in the previous Cat-O-Lympics 2010.

5.  Each cat or dog can enter each event once.

6.  Entry is open to all cats and dogs.  You do not need to have a blog to enter.
