Skeezix's Halloween Costoom Kontest

VOTING HAS CLOSED.

Reezults will be annownst in Skeezix the Cat's 10/18 blog!

Thanks to all the entrants and voters for making this kontest so suksessful!

You can read my blog, Merlin's Meows. I'm also on Catster! Come be my friend!

If I win, I would like to sponsor Wrigley the cat, because I have a cousin kitty named Wrigley and they even look alike.


Happy Halloween everyone!

I can't believe I haven't put the bitey on anybody. How humiliating. *sigh*

Anyways, if I was to win I'd sponsor Scooter.

Here's my Entry. I'm a Fierce Viking Kitten, returned home from the hunt. To my left you can see my prey, a vishus deer I've skinned and made into a rug (you can see it better on my blog). Behind me is a traditional viking shaggy cloak, worn by Viking Jarls. I'm not wearing it because it's too big for me, but I do have a brilliant scarlett cloak, a colour so expensive only the most powerful Vikings could afford it (it's also my favourite colour!). I have my trusty vishus deerkilling sword Hreinarsbana (Reindeer's Bane) close at hand. I don't have a horned helmet because my Opposable Thumb Wench says they didn't really wear those, and anyway, what would I need with horns? I have big pointy ears (though not as big as Skeezix's).

To see a few more picture from the photoshoot, come to my blog and and say hi!

If I win I want to sponser Sammie.
https://www.bestfriends.org/donate/detail.cfm?sponsor=1685&source=

He has weird drinking habits like me. I don't like having the water poured on my head, but I use my tail to make a pool to drink out of in the sink, and I like my water running too. I don't know why he hasn't been adopted. He seems like a good drinking buddy to me. And we all make mistakes sometimes.

If I wins, I'll sponsor Marvin cuz he sounds like a sweetie an he looks like me.

Are you kidding? ME, wear a costume? PUlllleeeeeze. But it's to help homeless cats find homes... ofur than MY home. Getcher own! Grrrrowl!!!! Hiss, hiss, hiss! What are you DOING to me?!?!

Ok, so if I were to win, I would sponsor Lois. She sounds like my kind of cat - anofur attack tabby.

I think I look hot in this Vampire costume. I told Meowmie that I didn't need a tuxedo cause I already have one on, but she insisted I wear it. I'm a little shy about being the center of attention. You can check out my other photo's on my Catster page.


If I win, I would like to sponsor Scooter cause he's seems like a cool cat that I could hang with and he's got some sweet fangs that would be great with my Vampire costume.

Read about Scooter here

So this is my new Princess costume. I love to play dress up and I have been begging Meowmie to take me Trick-or-Treating this year in my stroller. I think it would be so much fun! You can go to my catster page to see some of my other pretty outfits.


If I win I would like to sponsor Scooter because he is a really sweet kitty.

Read about Scooter here

Scooter was born without back legs. But he's a happy guy ... especially when he gets visitors! Every time someone comes to see him, he gets all excited and scoots as fast as he can to be a good host. His eyes are huge and alert ... they look almost crazy with enthusiasm when you pet him. His purr is snorty and cute. Some of us think that with his gigantic head and funny fangs, he looks something like a Sesame Street puppet!

Scooter was born in 1997. He was a 'clinic cat' in Arizona, keeping a vet staff company and greeting visitors. But because he had no back legs, some of the clientele reported feeling disturbed by his appearance. So the poor guy got fired as welcomer. Now we're happy to have him here, welcoming our guests at Kitty Motel.

I am now Jacques, a French artist.



















Notice the Skeezix beanie button that I wear on my beret.


















Oo, la, la, vote pour moi, all you sexy kittens out there.















I would sponsor Mama because she's so nice to all the other kitties. When I was a little kitten, I had a much older sister named Precious and she was very nice and motherly to me.

As I said on my blog, this was torture and an indignity, but here I am as a hula girl:




















My back feet with claws extended tell you how much I enjoyed posing for this. (If only Mom had Photoshop so I could have done this virtually!)










I do know it's for a good cause.
Like some other entrants, I'd like to sponsor Cinders because she's elderly and has a lot of health problems.












I'm fortunate that, at 15, I have my health.

~Bathsheba (catster profile)

Hi! My name is Tiggy. I'm 7 months old and I'm new to the innernets. I just started a blog becuz I like Skeezix's blog so much. Here it is. My Mommy blogs a lot, she has a lot of piktures of me on her blog. I want to have a cool blog like Skeezix and that hamsome man cat Kismet. He is so cool and hamsome. When I saw him in his Hugh Hefner Robe, I knew I had to be a Playboy Bunny. My mommy said I was too young to wear such a sexy costoom, but I mrowed and mrowed until she said yes.

If I win the contest, I want to sponsor Buckaroo, because she was a wild cat just like me!

I am the Good Witch of the West!



If I were so lucky as to win this contest I would pick my BEST FRIEND to be RASCAL.

WE'RE OFF TO SEE THE WIZZER??? ... DaisyMae Maus and (some of) the Feline Americans stage a demented version of the classic "The Wizard of Oz" taking MAJOR liberties in plot, characterization, dialog, sets, ... species.

So ...
QUIET ON THE SET!
Cue the MUNCHKINS ... ??
ROLL MUSIC!
AND ... ACTION!

All: "Weeeeee're off to see the Wizzer! He's hiding beneath Momma's bed ... !"







DAISYMAE MAUS --Superstar -- in her Sheba™-nominated role as the Wicked "Weee-yotch!" of the Extreme Southwest

"I'd BETTER get my Screen Actors' Guild card after all of the pain and suffering I endured for this publicity still! Not to mention combat pay for having to deal with the incompetent 'talent wranglers' ... And don't get me started about the set decorator/costumer!" Sniped the Feline Primadonna from her trailer. "Get me my agent and a couple of Flying Monkeys to kick! I'm feeling PECKISH!!!"
















SPARKY FUZZYPANTS as the Prince of Semi-Darkness
"What was I supposed to ask the Wizzer for? Oh, yeah ... A FLASHLIGHT! Gosh, it wouldn't be so hard to remember if I only had ... um ... uh ..."

Daisy: "Some talent?"



















Acting phenom and chameleon-like wunderkind LUCKY CHARMZ makes his cinematic debút as the Cowardly Triceratops.






"Acting? Uh, yeah ... It gets me out of six hours of school, so ... uh, whatever. I'd do this for free, but since they pay me anyway, I plan to donate my salary ... uh, yeah ... winnings ... to Best Friends Sanctuary to support my friend Thumper."













Finally ... PUMPKIN as that perennial favorite ... that icon of literature and film ... HARRY POTTER (with apologies to J.K. Rowling and Daniel Radcliffe, too).

"Hey, Effurrybody! I'll use my wand to get us out of this cinematic cesspool! Think happy thoughts. Catnip. Stinky goodness. Fev-vers. Fuzzy mice. Sponsoring a cool cat like THUMPER. Hold really still ... Zzzzzzzaaaaappppp!"














And introducing ... THUMPER!!!
Thumper lives at Best Friends Sanctuary. After a horrible attack by a dog, Thumper's spinal chord was injured severely and she was paralyzed. Her back legs don't work, but that doesn't stop her from leading an active life greeting visitors, playing, and being a normal cat. DaisyMae Maus and the Feline Americans have supported Thumper in the past and will continue to do so.



Best Friends Sanctuary
Our blog: DaisyMae Maus & the Feline Americans

Hello, all! You will notice that I finally decided to cooperate with this Halloween thing when Mom explained to me that all I had to do was slip into a digital costume! I was so relieved I even allowed her to place those silly glasses on my face! Besides, she said I was providing a very important service to catkind, so I'd best get back to watching for a cat to show up looking for a parking place.


Haiku:

The parking cattendant
ready to be of service
looks this way then that


If I should win, the cat I would like to sponsor is Opie, described below (because he's been through some really bad times):

Opie must be a Lord of the Rings fan, because he does his best to look like Gollum! When he's not skulking around, you'll find him hunched in the corner, looking suspicious. And he has had enough adventures to fill a book! Before he came to Best Friends, he had been wandering around Venice, California, dazed, hungry, and thirsty. Suddenly, he found himself trapped in a storm drain. He couldn't jump out! He was desperate. Little did he know, a dog would be the one to come to his rescue! A particular little dog and his person went for a walk every day past where Opie was trapped. And whenever they went by, the dog would stick his nose in to say hello. His person began to wonder what was in there. When she looked, she saw Opie! By the time he was rescued, he was really skinny - nearly dead!

After Opie was found, he was brought to the vet where it was discovered that he has diabetes as well as a spinal injury from having once been hit by a car! Because his diabetes was untreated for so long, his back legs don't work so well - that's why he couldn't jump out of the storm drain. Opie had been tired, thirsty, and hurting for so long that he never thought he'd be happy again. But now that he's at Best Friends, he finds his mood improving every day. And it turns out that despite his sulky looks, he's a very personable cat. And he would love nothing more than for you to be his sponsor!

Sophia, the Diva Kitty, decided to really stretch herself this year for Skeezix’s Costume Contest. She dyed her fur, had her ears elongated and has tucked her tail, in a very uncomfortable way to dress as Fiona Bun.

You can tell it’s Sophia by ‘Her Look’ of disdain…



Sophia would like to sponsor Jessica if she wins.

Jessica longs so much for affection that if you won't pet her, she'll rub her own face against a window sill and stare at you, imagining that you're giving her attention. What a sweetie! Black and silky white, this darling purrs beautifully. But watch out -- she has a frisky streak too! She may not be a kitten anymore, but she's definitely up for playing.

Jessica was born in 2001. She came to Best Friends as a result of a trade with an Arizona rescue group. They took some cats from us whom they felt they could easily adopt out, and in turn, we took two cats with feline leukemia, including Jessica. Back in Arizona, she was a proud mom to two healthy kittens without feline leukemia, both of whom found good homes. Jessica has never been adopted. But she would like to be!

Okay, of course I didn't actually SIT for the costume... AHEM! We are talking about ME! However, I like the mask. I like the movie..! And yes, it really is ME, Cheysuli!

If I should happen to win, we'd like to sponsor Cinders because she looks like she needs someone to care about her.

Mrs. B purrs: Who knew you could get so many treats for putting on a hat!



Meowmie says: Bubbles you are Gandalf the Grey.
Bubbles growls: Get this @#$*& thing off my head NOW!

I needed me a costume A contest for to play, An’ Skeezix is my best friend, That’s why I look this way! Mom sez I’m a suck-up, But I don’t really care, ‘Cause Skeezix is my best friend, An’ he dresses with such flair! I really do admire him An’ the mooveys that he makes, His contributions to us cats, An’ the stroller rides he takes. So here’s my little entry, My picture for to see. I hope you like my costume And cast your vote for me!

(please come visit me & the other meowers from missouri here. we love to make new friends!)

an' if i wins, i'd like to sponsor Scooter. his story just made me cry:

Scooter was born without back legs. But he's a happy guy ... especially when he gets visitors! Every time someone comes to see him, he gets all excited and scoots as fast as he can to be a good host. His eyes are huge and alert ... they look almost crazy with enthusiasm when you pet him. His purr is snorty and cute. Scooter was born in 1997. He was a 'clinic cat' in Arizona, keeping a vet staff company and greeting visitors. But because he had no back legs, some of the clientele reported feeling disturbed by his appearance. So the poor guy got fired as welcomer. Now we're happy to have him here, welcoming our guests at Kitty Motel.

An' a note from ALL the Pierce Kitties: phooey on those "clientele" beans who were "disturbed". They're "disturbed", all right; you couldn't PAY us to be THEIR kitties. an' phooey on the clinic beans who "knuckled under". an' g*d bless the Sanctuary beans!!!

I am Merlin Schumacher and this is me in my jesters costume. Mom got it for me last Halloween and I'm wearing it again this year.

If I am chosen as the winner then I will sponser Buddy
because I like his eyes and he looks like he would be a best bud if I knew him.

Visit me and my fellow fluffies at Poi Rats, Cats, & Bun
blog. We all take turns posting soes you should get to meet all of us. We have meece too, but they don't post much yet.

Here's good lucks to all of us in Skeezix's Halloween Costume Contest.

~Merlin =^..^=

Hi evuryone, it's Cheeto!

Just as my sistur Rosies entrie says, owr lady says we shuldnt win because its not a "reel halloween costuum" but I still want to share it with yoo cause I went "on locashun" to the jungle to pose fur the picktur.

Aftur much thawt, I've decided that I want to be a Monkey fur halloween. Here I am dressed in my monkey sute.

I went "on-locashun" in my monkey sute. I went into the jungle and made TONS of frends including: mr. monkie, three tiger piggies and a red fee-vur! Skeezix asked if I saw lions or bares...I didn't, but if I had the big cat Jake and I would have exsplored furthur into the jungle.

If I win, which we hope I don't cause owr lady says its not a "reel costuum", I want to sponsur Jean cause she's vary shy yet vary perty!

My Mommie says I am a lobster - I think from this picture I am a "Crab"

I would love to sponsor "Lois" wouldn't she be perfect in my "Crabby" costume - MOL, everyone needs a friend.

RIPLEY

Since the dopey kittens ALWAYS get to talk I'm going to make this entry. Despite our demands mom only bought us 1 costume so we had to share. I have to say that I really looked the best in it AND I was the best behaved so I think I win from within our family at least. The last photo is a bonus 'cause everyone always calls Kaze a bat so I made her one. Hehehe....

Latte

Kaze

Oh, and if we win we want to sponsor Latte because it just makes sense (and Latte would throw a hissy fit if we didn't). She seems like a nice enough kitty but she has feline leukemia so she has to live with other infected kitties. She doesn't like other kitties that much but she really likes people which I can certainly understand.

Hey everyone! I'm the last cat in the family to post my Halloween costume! I decided since imitation is the best form of flattery, I'd dress up as Hello Kitty!

Normally I'm shy, but I wanted to pawticipate in Skeezix's contest:) You can learn more about me here: http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=347497&j=t

If I'm the winner, I want to sponsor Mia as she is one of the 300 animals rescued from Beruit thanks to Best Friends Animal Society! Pawtastic! https://www.bestfriends.org/donate/detail_pfp.cfm?sponsor=4424&source=pfp

Hey everyone! I'm the baby brother of Boogers. I was originally going to be the pumpkin but I really thought my new costume looked pawtastic! So I am a Fairy Godcat! I had a wand, but I actually ate that last night when I snuck into my pawrents closet. You can learn more about me here at http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=366270&j=t

If chosen, I'd like to help sponsor Exema as he was one of the 300 cats rescued from Beruit and you can learn more about him at https://www.bestfriends.org/donate/detail_pfp.cfm?sponsor=4376&source=pfp

Look furrrward to seeing everycats costume!

Hey! Boogers here! After many failed attempts of putting on this costume, I gave in as I wanted to pawticipate in my friend Skeezix's contest! So alas, I am a pumpkin!

I met Skeezix on Catster.com and if you want to learn more about me you can vistit my page http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=347487&j=t

Best Friends is a pawtastic organization and if picked as the winner, I'd like to sponsor Loulou as he is new to Best Friends as he along with over 300 animals were rescued from Beruit. You can learn more about him here: https://www.bestfriends.org/donate/detail_pfp.cfm?sponsor=4413&source=pfp

Hi frends, Rosie here....

Furst of all, owr lady says we shuldnt win because its not a reel halloween costuum but I still want to share it with yoo because its the scariest costuum EVUR!!!

One of my best frends, Luxor, mentioned that my striped tale could have been because my mom was a non-stinkie skunk.

If I win (which I can't cause my lady says my costuum is illegal)...but if I do I will sponsur Bonito cause she's an older kitty (8 y/o) and deserves to be taken care of.

**NOTE: Pleeze be aware, this took a lot of preplanning to ware this costuum with the vishus deer surrownding me. I also sprayed Mao and Rocky's vishus deer repelant to make sure I was not in dangur!

If I win, I would like to sponsor "Cinders" at https://www.bestfriends.org/donate/detail.cfm?sponsor=4002&source because she's an older girl with lots of special needs and I would like her to know that she is loved! She looks like she wants a nose kiss too!

Heres my page on catster: www.catster.com/?279001.

Happy Halloween!

You will need to click on my photo and look at it bigger to really get the full effect!


If I win, I want to sponsor Maria. I like Maria because in her picture she is giving you a look like "What are you talking about? JUST OPEN THE CAN." I can relate to that. I also like her because she is from Europe (A WOMAN OF THE WORLD!) and she lived on the streets, like me. Maybe some of my chiwahwah homeboyz know her.

>> Kismet's Blog

Is there a category for the most unwilling participant? If so put me in that category!
Here is the cat I will adopt if I should win with this dreadful entry! https://www.bestfriends.org/donate/detail.cfm?sponsor=3566&source=
His name is Ash and he is a whisk broom of a black cat purrfect for the season I might add!
Thanks for your support

Calvin as Cinderella's Pumpkin Coach

If I win this contest, I'd like to sponsor Totoro because he worships the sun just like me! His idea of a good time is finding a big patch of sunlight to take a nap! He has seizures, so I want to sponsor him so that he knows there is someone who loves him even if he isn't perfect!

• Calvin's web page

Samoa as Cinderella



If I win this contest, I would like to sponsor Uma because she has the softest fur of any cat at Best Friends. My Catster motto is "softest fur in the land", so I think Uma and I would be good friends!
