Sarah E BourneKona has lost her head! Oh no!
(This would have been a strong contender for #CatSleepingContest )
Mikey Reppy
tor_haxsonThat is a wrap for today.
Summary:
fireworks? No
Gymnastics? No
But in this fast pace world where some Sleeping Contests have been full of fire and fury it is important to remember that at the end of the day we are watching cats sleep. So set your expectations accordingly.
Oh and of course once the contest is over our cats will all sleep in a pyramid, or standing on their heads, etc.
Also note the undercover move still has the judges perplexed as how to rank it.
In third place we have Fergus, performing a nice tight curl.
Note the tail that finishes the circle, such a classic. Also note the paw protecting the nose.
Yes this curl could be tighter, and a "tail over nose" is nice, but all things considered, nice move Fergus

Final Results,
In second place we have "Polar Opposites"
In a new twist on team sleeping we have these two cats who seem to be suffering from some form of quantum entanglement. They (physicists) say quantum entanglement is "creepy action at a distance" but these cats just take it as another way of sleeping.
Polarity, Antipodes, pick your term, but whatever else you pick, also note they are second place winners today.

After much deliberation we have the winners.
This will be a thread.
First Place goes to
Kona,
Her Side Surface Face plant puts her in first place today.
Congratulations to Kona

The judges will give participants about 10 minutes to get any last minute submissions in, and then they will deliberate.
Please, no bribes, not even a gift of baked goods. Have to keep this on the level.
We have an update,
Check the hashtag and note that Kona has mixed a face plant with a tuck.
As today's contest goes that will put her on the leader board.
Actually it may well make her the leader.
Current Leader Board.
1. Kona
2. Polarity team (wobs)
3. Fergus (tight curl)
Honestly the judges are having a hard time figuring out how to rank the Hilo undercover maneuver. So there will be some deliberation.
@tor_haxson Her sister Kona is more accommodating, even though she left it for the last minute! A nice side-surface face plant an a nice tight oval tuck!

Submissions
Wobs, "Polar Opposites"
A new take on team sleeping, in which two cats take inverse positions.
Hilo, "Under Cover"
If we could have audio of purring, that would be powerful.
Girl Trouble, "Smile in Basket"
Fergus, "Tight Curl"
Stroopwaffel had something but it is not impressive.
So here is the leader board.
1. Hilo Under Cover
2. Polar Opposites
3. Tight Curl
We have a few more minutes, so take a look and see what you have.
