Green Cat Contest Winners for St Catrick’s Day

 THE POPULAR “GREEN CAT CONTEST"

Well, our human has “slipped out of the house again and was seen VISITING OTHER CATS!

This time (and we think she went too far) she insisting on starting  a contest for GREEN CATS (the nerve) for St. Patrick’s Day on her Art site, Fine Art America.  Over 80 cats entered (WE didn’t, cuz we are not nor ever will be green) and or human was very excited when she announced the winning cats.  We agreed  -- for St. Catrick’s only - to let her feature these talented artists and their, er, cats...because they were VERY popular and got more votes than any of the other cats.  We have to admit they are pretty fan-cat-ic!


THE WINNERS OF THE GREEN CAT CONTEST


1st place:  MATTHIAS HAUSER, “St. Patrick’s Day Cat

2nd Place:  DENISE F. FULMER, “The Green Cat for St. Pat’s”
Create with Dream Wombo


Denise, who lives in South Carolina, is a long time artist and, though impaired with Parkinsons, continues to pursue her art with various apps including Dream Wombo, with which she created this 2nd place winner.  

She currently likes to draw cartoons as well, and has created numerous videos.  Her vision is romantic, whimsical and spiritual and she (of course) especially loves animals.

Well, we hope you’ll give us plenty of credit for sharing the spotlight today (which we you know we hate to do!). But these other talented artists and their cat creations do deserve kudos..and we’re not too snooty to admit it.  


But now we’re going to snatch our human back and imprison her in the house with us because she owes us alot of petting, brushing and tuna for being “unfaithful & for straying and admiring cats who are not US!  Right? Right?

We are joining Athena & Maries CATURDAY HOP today so you’ll have a chance to view the special “green cat winners” so timely for St. Catrick’s Day...a holiday we ALWAYS honor!
