This week our human hosted a St. Catrick’s (okay, St. <i>Patrick’s) </i>contest for “<i><b>MOST CREATIVE ST PATRICKS CAT</b></i>.” There was some heavy competition & three talented winners were chosen. (You guessed it, we were “polite” and sat out the competition. Just sayin...)</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, we’re proud to present the talented artists and photographers who were 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners for our Creative Caturday Hop! We also included the link to their picture on the Fine Art America site in case you want to investigate them further!</span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">1.

She was just using the computer, so why shouldn’t I sit on the desk below the computer? My thought was that my human should be delighted to have my company. She’s always telling me how gorgeous I am, does she mean it or not? When she protested she NEEDED those papers to work on the computer, I rolled over on my back, exposing my beautiful white furs (second to none) and she forgot all abut the stupid computer.
