A Conversational Cat Contest

[BoozleTheCat]

Too late for the contest, but my vote goes to Ginger. :)

[DrNworb]

@BoozleTheCat Thanks!

[msgoodlistener]

Okay, here's the problem... #1 Panther needs to take lessons from Ginger, #2 I wouldn't talk either if someone called me Fatty, #3 Ginger is my pick because she sounds like she is saying "WHY??? are we having this contest!", #4 Jay...good growling. (I know I'm too late, but I love these kitties!)

[DrNworb]

@msgoodlistener Lol, thanks for the great comment!

[venniey]

Shameless, you are shameless! Ginger won in my mind before the video really got going, then I saw and heard Panther. Wow a 10. then I was going with Fatty, terrible name for such a handsome cat, but he sure has countenance. Ginger the cat I really, really like AND her voice too. Then Jay......gotta hand it to Jay, he lets his feelings be known. I respect the heck out of that.

I vote for Ginger.....no Panther, darn...a tie?

Ginger, I guess. I will bite the bullet and give you my vote.

[DrNworb]

@venniey Thanks for voting, unfortunately you were'nt in time to be counted into the "contest winners" video but we appreciate your taking part. Ginger will be very happy to hear you (finally) decided she was the one!

[MsRandomnotes1]

I vote for Ginger! her meow has character and is quite lovely...love ya Gingy:)

[DrNworb]

@MsRandomnotes1 Thanks for voting!

[shasams]

I vote for Jay!

[DrNworb]

@shasams Thanks for voting!

[ScriptorObscura]

I vote for Fatty! :D

[DrNworb]

@ScriptorObscura Thanks for voting!

[ShortyTheCat2010]

Hm, that's a tough one. Panther's purr-meow is sweet but no one can really tell you off like Ginger can so I vote for the Ginge.

[DrNworb]

@ShortyTheCat2010 Thanks for voting, bossy Ginger appreciates your support!

[jennifergwaine]

The contest is almost over and Pum'kin wants to know if he can put in a second vote...;)

[DrNworb]

@jennifergwaine I don't know, that might start a dangerous precedent, who's he gonna vote for?

[jennifergwaine]

@DrNworb He wants to put in a second vote for Ginger of course!! He's determined to win her photo!

[DrNworb]

@jennifergwaine Determined enough to offer a bribe to the comptroller? (Robot)

[jennifergwaine]

@DrNworb Hmmm that all depends...what does Robot want from us? Beer? Oil for his creaky knees? Some fresh flowers to run after Ginger with? Beekalmer???

[DrNworb]

@jennifergwaine He says all of those items will do just fine!

[jennifergwaine]

@DrNworb ALL...well that's a little greedy.

[DrNworb]

@jennifergwaine Robot has issues. =0/

[hippyable]

chatty panthy rawr. how sweet! and Fatty! Oh my god how many cants do you know! LOL

[DrNworb]

@hippyable Not enough!

[LakeTahoeWeather]

I vote for Ginger.

[DrNworb]

@LakeTahoeWeather Thanks for voting!

[moortje1991]

I have had a black cat called Moortje, she was not so friendly and a cat like Ginger (Maxie was her name) and she talked a lot. Both passed away. For me I vote for Ginger, because I think she is always talking about everything you ask and she answers.

[DrNworb]

@moortje1991 Thanks for voting, we feel it's the other way around, when Ginger talks and demands, we have to answer!

[KirneH004]

Ginger is good, but Fatty gets a point for the "don't mess with me, dude" attitude.

[DrNworb]

@KirneH004 Thanks for voting and yes, we agree, Fatty's full of real catitude attitude alright!

[FruittisMaris]

The strong silent type!

[DrNworb]

@FruittisMaris Fatty it is then and thanks for voting!

[hippyable]

@DrNworb Hey Ginger wins hands down!

[DrNworb]

@hippyable Thanks for voting and I kinda thought you'd vote her!

[superantonella63]

Wins..... Jay the Cat, because at 1:31 he says "FFFFFFFFHHHHH" as Penny! ^^

[DrNworb]

@superantonella63 Thanks for voting and I'm sure we'd all love to hear pretty Penny say "FFFFFFFHHHHHHHH" in your next video.

[phainopepla95]

I asked, and they both agreed: >mrow!<

My little boys are growing up. Ha! (They turn seven month tomorrow.)

[DrNworb]

@phainopepla95 Awww, they grow up so fast, don't they!

[phainopepla95]

@DrNworb ~No kidding! I look at Andy in the first two videos, and I barely recognize him as a cat. One lady at the senior care center actually asked, "What kind of animal is that!?" Ha! Anyway, they are growing into wonderful, amusing creatures. I'd like to break Dougy of trying to sleep on my arm while I'm on the computer though.

[DrNworb]

@phainopepla95 I'd love to have Dougy sleeping on my arm while I'm on the computer!

[phainopepla95]

@DrNworb ~ It requires a bit of adjustment. One-hand typing, for example.

[DrNworb]

@phainopepla95 I could live with that.

[Rakshaming]

I'd have to say Ginger wins!

[DrNworb]

@Rakshaming Thanks for voting and so far she is leading the pack of cats.

[phainopepla95]

Ginger, of course! She not only initiated the conversation, she kept it going with lots of exciting thoughts!

>Mrowmrowmrow<, Ginger! The kitten brothers, Andy and Dougy, think you are hot!

[DrNworb]

@phainopepla95 Thanks for voting, if you win the draw we can autograph a photo of Ginger just for Andy and Dougy if you like.

[ladybug687]

I have to say Ginger.......She did have alot more to say than the others. It was close though, but I think Ginger would always win !!!! Now of course if she wasn't in the mix who knows ?? I do agree with callas5.

[DrNworb]

@ladybug687 Thanks for voting and yes, Callas5 was right on with their comment.

[TheTheCatshow89]

=D

[DrNworb]

@TheTheCatshow89 Thanks!

[PennyFre]

Ginger! But all are lovely kitty!

[DrNworb]

@PennyFre Thanks for voting!

[callas5]

1) Every single furry beauty deserves my vote

2) Schatzi Ginger should be the winner

3) If there wouldn't be gorgeous Jay

4) And Fatty is a divine winker

5) But both the paw prints and the sweet little voice of Panther won my heart

6) So it's PANTHER!

[DrNworb]

@callas5 Thanks for voting, we're glad you noticed the paw prints, we thought they were very sweet too.

[piggyimp]

Panther!

[DrNworb]

@piggyimp Thanks for voting!

[Bebuvvter]

Amazing video with an awesome cat =)

[DrNworb]

@Bebuvvter Thanks, don't forget to vote for your favorite.

[Bebuvvter]

@DrNworb No problem =) Okay!

[Soralella71]

Ginger of course!

[DrNworb]

@Soralella71 Thanks for voting!

[ankex]

And the next vote is from Germany: Absolute favorite is ... Ginger!

[DrNworb]

@ankex Thanks for voting!

[jikkehond]

Hello, here is the vote from Holland and the jury decided to give the first price to.......GINGER.

♥♥Lady Shiva, Lady Mara and Jeannette♥♥

[DrNworb]

@jikkehond Thanks for voting!

[NeeruChat]

Can't vote, they are all sooo cute... =^.^=

[DrNworb]

@NeeruChat We understand completely.

[princessmadiro]

GINGER!

[DrNworb]

@princessmadiro Thanks for voting!

[TommyAndGracie]

They are all adorable but GINGER has to be the winner!

[DrNworb]

@TommyAndGracie She just pulled further away from the pack thanks to you!

[sylnanu]

Hey, Fatty winked at me:)

They are all so cute, even judge Jay, lol. And Panther has a really tender little voice.

But in the end, I will have to vote Ginger, because she ALWAYS talks and her meow is soooo fun!!!

[DrNworb]

@sylnanu I had to slow Fatty down and run him backwards to get that wink so I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for voting, the Ginger camp is happy to have you on board.

[DianeDi]

Panther, Fatty, Ginger & Jay  - choosing just one would be like picking your favorite *Beatle*.

I can't pick just one, so I vote for the "Fab Four" ;o)

[DrNworb]

@DianeDi As a free and independant judge you are allowed to vote for whatever "cats" you want, just good luck getting a personalized photo of sweet and beautiful Ginger out of that lot! =0D

[silverpoint16]

It's a hard choice but my vote goes for panther because he really has a conversation with and not at you and a love his silky black pantherness. Fatty is just too distainful, Ginger is too demanding and Jay despite being fluffy cuteness confuses me with his mixed messages.

[DrNworb]

@silverpoint16 That was a purrfectly spot on analysis as far as I'm concerned, Panther is the only one who understands that good conversation is a 2 way street.

Thanks for voting!

[beekalmer]

@silverpoint16 Ha ha the part about Jay has me in stitches!

[karenharrisonbinette]

Oh, this is so hard! In part I feel it's not fair to put anyone up against Ginger, the Yowler For The Ages, but each cat is a special conversationalist in their own way. I wanted to vote for Panther, but must go with Jay. *sigh*

[DrNworb]

@karenharrisonbinette I've always suspected you had an extra soft spot in your heart for Jay.

Thanks for voting!

[SandraB1000]

Ginger is a great yowler, but for this contest, I vote for Jay. He really gets the message across LOL!

[DrNworb]

@SandraB1000 Yes, there's absolutely no mistaking what he's saying, especially when it's punctuated with his killer left hook!

Thanks for voting.

[lulufullana]

Fatty has an Alfred E Neuman "what me worry? look. I am afraid of Jay. Panther speaks in Gothic nursery rhymes. Therefore, Missy G.

[DrNworb]

@lulufullana Thanks for voting and for your great comment, you really know how to sum up cat characters succinctly!

[KCKILLERCAT]

I like the strong silent type.. and besides he winked at me at the end ... ;o)

[DrNworb]

@KCKILLERCAT Yes, he winked just for you (I'm winking at you now too!)

Thanks for voting!

[KCKILLERCAT]

@DrNworb I know ... because ;o) we both know ..no-body can defeat Ginger !

[DrNworb]

@KCKILLERCAT So far it's looking that way but Fatty is making a surprising showing.

[ashleypurrs]

I love Ginger the most, but for this contest I am voting for .................

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

FATTY

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

[DrNworb]

@ashleypurrs Wow, the Fatty fans are really rallying, your vote just nudged him into 2nd place!

[VerusiunctiO]

Can't make up my mind between the first and third one although the latter is definitely louder. =)

[DrNworb]

@VerusiunctiO Panther and Ginger are pretty tough to decide between but you're gonna have to get off that fence at some point. If it's any help Panther is not doing as well as Ginger in the score department, in case you like to root for the underdog, or undercat in this case!

[VerusiunctiO]

@DrNworb Well okay, I'm rooting for the undercat here especially that he is black like my Spikey. =)

[DrNworb]

@VerusiunctiO Thanks so much, glad to know your a black cat supporter, we are too!

[RockyBDemilleFan]

My vote[s]? ... Fatty Jay, the Ginger Panther! =oD

[DrNworb]

@RockyBDemilleFan Ok, that's a good start, you've correctly identified all of the cats that appeared in the video, now all you have to do is narrow your choice down to one and I suggest you start with eenie and end with moe!

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@DrNworb hrrrumph! ... In THAT case my choice must be Panther since I count *a* as a word. [my sincere apologies to Fatty Jay Ginger ... I tried] =o/

[DrNworb]

@RockyBDemilleFan Thank you for (properly) voting and FattyJayGinger send you their sweetest "dis-hiss-yowl" of thanks for the support. =O{D

[catsri7503]

GINGER 

[DrNworb]

@catsri7503 Why am I not surprised!

Thanks for voting.

[sandrateager]

Ginger!  =)

[DrNworb]

@sandrateager Thanks for voting!

[sandrateager]

@DrNworb Welcome! =)

[beekalmer]

I have to go with Ginger because not only is she the best conversational cat but at 1:14, or was that 1:41 she did an impersonation of Alfred Hitchcock, that sealed the deal for me.

[DrNworb]

@beekalmer It was at 1:14 and you are absolutely right, her lower lip impersonation of Hitchcock was spot on.

Thanks for voting!

[gigi101060]

Ginger !

[DrNworb]

@gigi101060 Thanks for voting Gigi!

[frauleinvero]

Jay! >^^<



[DrNworb]

@frauleinvero Thanks for voting!

[CirSam]

I'm going with Fatty..she was cold and dismissive but then at the end she winked like she was kidding...I'm voting for the prankster..

[DrNworb]

@CirSam Thanks for voting, I was hoping I wasn't the only one beguiled by those sullen and dismissive good looks!

[celinne700]

Another vote for Fatty! Yes I am cheating but Fatty deserves another 'Thumbs Up". I hear he looks at a lot of those silent movies and has mastered the art of face and body expression along with the science of telepathy.

[DrNworb]

@celinne700 Very true but I am sorry, you only get one vote. (I'm sure he will momentarily be impressed with your extra support)

[celinne700]

Sorry folks I chose Fatty without hesitation! Fatty communicates through telepathy so he doesn't have to deal with the noise of human voices as they banter. He just sent his message loud and clear without opening his mouth: "Buzz off humin. Do I looks like the kind of dude ya wants to mess with? Didn't think so!"

To be honest I share Fatty's viewpoint about silent communication. Dude is a genius.

[DrNworb]

@celinne700 Thanks for voting and I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one smitten with Fatty and his dismissive yet mesmerizing ways!

[rmariejo1]

After much deliberation and frequently listening, we opt for Ginger. She speaks very loudly and convincingly. Her intentions leave no doubt ;-) But.... they all are so sweet with their own personality !!! After all they all are winners.

I am very curious about the results ;-)

[DrNworb]

@rmariejo1 Thanks for voting and you are right, they are all winners.

It will be a fun contest for sure!

[DietHobby]

I like them all, but if I had to choose the sound I'd most like to be around, it would be Panther.

[DrNworb]

@DietHobby Thanks for voting and I agree, his voice just melts one into submission, unlike Ginger's, hers is more like a battering ram!

[Suzan4B]

GINGER GETS IT PAWS DOWN!

I liked Chatty Panther alot and his " dialect! But Ginger really has a special way of expressing herself and holding the flow of conversation!

[DrNworb]

@Suzan4B Thanks for voting and I'd say it's more like Ginger controls the flow of conversation and at an ear deafening volume at that!

[ThePawerLine]

Aww, all of them are very sweet, it's difficult to choose ^.^

[DrNworb]

@ThePawerLine But choose you must if you want to win a prize! (Don't worry, the cats are completely unaware of the contest so no feline feelings will be hurt)

[Jamesdurbinrules]

Aw cute

[DrNworb]

@Jamesdurbinrules Thanks and don't forget to vote!

[lomlloyl]

Paws down it's got to be Ginger!

[DrNworb]

@lomlloyl Thanks for voting!

[tinasattler1]

your welcome

[tinasattler1]

i vote fore the black cat

[DrNworb]

@tinasattler1 Thanks for voting, you've made Panther very happy!

[tinasattler1]

@DrNworb your welcome panther

[tinasattler1]

verry nnice good job

[DrNworb]

@tinasattler1 Thanks!

[DrNworb]

@AgentThis99 Thanks for voting for the (usually misunderstood) strong and silent type!

[AveryMilieu]

Ginger. Panther isn't as talkative as Ginger and Fatty was clearly uncommunicative.

Jay's just a grumpus with all that growling and hissing.

[DrNworb]

@AveryMilieu Thanks for voting, for me Fatty communicates everything with his eyes and though he always eventually snubs me, I feel honoured for the brief moments he stops and ponders my existence.

[Elena98506]

I wish i can vote for all but if i have to choose i prefer Ginger !

[DrNworb]

@Elena98506 Thanks for voting and by taking part in this silly contest you are showing your support for all of these sweet kitties!

[emeliUK]

I vote for Fatty! She looks so sad

[DrNworb]

@emeliUK Thanks for voting, It's hard to tell if Fatty is happy or sad but he/she seems pretty content most of the time.

[janwalsh1000]

They are all so adorable.....I really like Panther's talking and voice, I also love Jay's attitude and hiss...Fatty is precious...but, I have to vote for Ginger...I just love her meow and she is the oldest and deserves some respect....Jan

[DrNworb]

@janwalsh1000 Thanks for voting and for supporting the elderly!

[jennifergwaine]

What a fantastic idea! As much as I love the voices of Panther and Fatty....and that wonderful little hiss of Jay's, I'm going to have to go with Contestant #3 - GINGER!!! Pum'kin is doing a little happy dance right now at the thought of getting a photo of Ginger. ;) You should hear HIS meow to put in his Ginger vote. MEOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[DrNworb]

@jennifergwaine Thanks for voting and why am I not surprised that Pum'kin has been a big influence on your decision!

[jennifergwaine]

@DrNworb Well, it was a close one...Storm was trying to put his vote in for Jay since he had the most original submission (not to mention great technique), but Pum'kin wrestled him to the ground and won the vote...no one is coming between Pum'kin and his new love Ginger!!!!

[DrNworb]

@jennifergwaine LOL!

[AAR112008]

PANTHER has such a shy, cute voice! If I have to choose, I choose her (or him, Thomas?), lol (but really, it's very difficult to choose among all those lovely cats. I don't like to be in the jury!)

PS: has Fatty said anything? :D

[DrNworb]

@AAR112008 Thanks for voting, Panther is a he and really appreciates your support.

Though Fatty has never vocalized anything to me he conveys a world of understanding through his slighty sad eyes and almost complete indifference to my obvious love and affection for him. I am smitten!

[ibsunnysha]

Second comment, and I vote for Jay! Ginger, while being my favorite, couldn't possibly be called an amatuer...if it was just for Pros, I'd lean toward Ginger. However....Panther, really fun, and Fatty, super cute. I make a lousy judge!

[DrNworb]

@ibsunnysha All judges are allowed to choose their own criteria and will not be judged themselves.

Thanks for voting!

[hanssue]

I think the cards are stacked in Ginger's favour so I suspect she has the inside track. You should have shown Jay talking to the birds!! I of course, love Jay above all others and think he gets his point across here very well, on a conversationalist point of view. However I will vote for Panther anyway because he has such a smooth, silky voice and I would not want anyone to think I chose Jay just because he is my love.

[DrNworb]

@hanssue Thanks for voting Susan and it would have been ok if you voted for Jay but we're happy you chose Panther too.

[hanssue]

@DrNworb Ok, then I change my vote and go with Jay. I know what a great conversationlist he is because we chat all day long to each other.

[DrNworb]

@hanssue Ok but that's it, no more changes,even if members of Ginger's team offer you free cat food for a year. (Really, how can you pass down this fabulous offer!)

[hanssue]

@DrNworb I don't think Ginger has to much to worry about. Panther is the only one that might give her a challenge but I still think she has it locked up.

[DrNworb]

@hanssue Ginger is in the lead at the moment with Jay and Fatty tied for 2nd and poor little Panther has but one vote, so you may be right!

[DrNworb]

First comment and I vote for Fatty!

[DrNworb]

@DrNworb I change my vote to Jay!!
