Friday Cat Blogging - 20 November 2009

| Fri Nov. 20, 2009 11:49 AM PST

We have a winner in our cat cover contest!  Though actually it was a tie.  There were two cats who received the same number of votes, but one of them turned out to be an internet cat while the other one is (I hope) a real live cat belonging to a real live MoJo reader.  It was also my favorite cat cover of the bunch.  So by the awesome tiebreaking power vested in me as final coverblogging judge, I declare the winner of our cat cover contest to be Ginger, possibly the smuggest looking cat I've ever seen.  All hail Ginger!

The dynamic duo will be back next week.  In the meantime, if you're Ginger's owner, email me to claim your prize.  Have a good weekend, all.

You know, the way cats look at you -- like they're mapping your brain?!

I think that cat's actually enjoying the thought of global warming...

Smug??

You obviously have never met my cat, Bella.

Cats don't have owners.

They have staff.
