Hi BC. I think that's how it was done last year allowing three votes per thread I think and we had a number of rounds over a few weeks. It was really good but can well imagine it took the mods lots of time as there were so many categories.

blackcat · « **Reply #35 on:** April 20, 2008, 16:50:12 PM »

not sure how you did it last year, but if you create a thread for each class with voting buttons inserted later once the entries are in, then the computer can do the counting for you

It also reduces the possibility of people voting 50 times for their own cat

Oh dear so Linda and Lottie are entering all classes

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #33 on:** April 20, 2008, 15:24:55 PM »

I agree the classes where much to big last year, you had so much work. If there are no seperate classes for pedigrees i assume they are going in just one of these classes?

Also - just an idea for a 15th category: Funny/Cute videoclips! (mustn't be too long though - a minute or so)

berties mum · « **Reply #29 on:** April 20, 2008, 13:10:33 PM »

Ooh, I'm v excited. I don't think I was around when you did this last year Gill (I had a long break with no computer and came back in August), so can I ask a stupid question - can the same cat enter more than one category? (With different pics, I mean).

You are very welcome and am sure that you will send some of his pics in. We had a lot of bridge babes in last years show and its up to each individual to decide whether they want to have their cats competing aginst others.

Its all for fun and the voting is fun and it made a whole load of money last year for good cat cause.

You are right it helps us to concentrate on things that are not so sad but in our hearts our Bridge babes are always there and never for gotten.

maryas · « **Reply #25 on:** April 19, 2008, 23:27:45 PM »

Ta chuck.

Really looking forward to this - takes my mind off Smudge a little bit, although I am sure I will be sending pictures of him.

Mary

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #24 on:** April 19, 2008, 23:25:20 PM »

You dont need that yet, you just sort your pictures out LOL

Full instructions and the entry form will be put up shortly when all the itty bitty little things have been sorted. The dates and everything will be there.

This is just the advanced notice so peeps have no excuse for not sorting out some pictures

maryas · « **Reply #23 on:** April 19, 2008, 23:14:58 PM »

No, you're right Gill I only joined November 2007 even though it seems I've been chatting to you all for years. You all did a brill job by the sound of it. Well done to you all.

Let the fun begin.

Mary

P.S Where's the entry form?

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #22 on:** April 19, 2008, 23:01:16 PM »

Ok here we go, a little pre-info for you but most important for the happy snappers, the classes

So here are temporary very draft rules!

1. The Purrs Cat Show 2008 will open on ..........and operate a bit different from last year and there will be much fewer classes for a start

2. This year as many pictures of each cat can be entered in any class that fits the cat. However the cat must have belonged to you or be cared for by you at somepoint in its life.

3. Entry will be £1 per picture per class.

4. Money will this year go to .............................

5. Entry should be on the Cat Show 2008 entry form and money should be sent to ...................

6. Pictures with captions where appropriate should be sent to ................and pictures should be 500 pixels on largest side and no greater than 125kbs, together with your completed entry form. Please do not send midgit pictures cos they have to be big enough for people to be able to see and vote on. If you are unable to resize your pictures please contact me by PM and we will discuss the best way forward.

7. Money, entry forms and pictures must arrive by....................at the latest, to allow time to put them on Purrs ready for voting.

8. The classes for the Purrs Cat Show 2008 will be as follows:

Class 1 Long/Semi longhaired cats of any colour
Class 2 Cats with stripes/spots
Class 3 Sleeping/snoozing cats
Class 4 Shorthaired cats of any colour
Class 5 Lolcats with a caption
Class 6 Cute cats
Class 7 Chatty/Singing/Smiley cats
Class 8 Cats up to tricks/No good
Class 9 Kittens under 6 months
Class 10 Older Gentler Felines over 14 years
Class 11 Me and my friend
Class 12 I am so innocent!/I didnt do it!
Class 13 Boy cats
Class 14 Girl cats

I hope the categories are wide enough for any cat to fit somewhere

Get snapping and write some great lolcat captions......they do not have to be put on the pictures, just sent in with the photo.

We need millions of entries so we can raise oodles of money and when I sorted it out with Tan, I will tell you what is happening to the money........................................all coming to me

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #21 on:** April 19, 2008, 22:55:09 PM »

Thank Heavens for that! yep between 4 of us, it was so busy I don't think we even had time to go piddle

It was fun, so whatever happens this year, I am certainly looking forward to showing off my Purrfect Princess.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #20 on:** April 19, 2008, 22:53:08 PM »

Mary , I dont thinkyou were a member last year when we had the cat show and it took weeks to set it up and 4 of us to work every night between rounds and it was lots of fun but exausting for Purrs staff.

However WE ARE HAVING A CAT SHOW

Its been approved and there will be 14 Classes this year and I am gonna change the tiltile of this thread and give you some info

maryas · « **Reply #19 on:** April 19, 2008, 22:34:11 PM »

P.S. - the most collected hair from cats is not allowed as I am sure you would win that one

paws down!!

Mary

maryas · « **Reply #18 on:** April 19, 2008, 22:32:20 PM »

C'mon Gill get those catagories posted, what do you mean MORE WORK FOR YOU?.........I'm sure you can manage with 2 hours sleep!!

Mary

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #17 on:** April 19, 2008, 22:09:07 PM »

I am sure that bot Bertie and Minxie will be able to fit into one of the claasses I have on the list

Tan has given approval and I just need to sort out one class name and then you can all get snapping and brains zinging

Watch this thread for the class names

berties mum · « **Reply #16 on:** April 19, 2008, 21:02:24 PM »

Ooh, this is well exciting!!!! After Bertie's recent Whiskas-winning appearance in Your Cat magazine, I don't want to break his winning streak so please can we have a Fat & Ginger category? And a blind cat category please for Minxie

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #15 on:** April 19, 2008, 20:54:47 PM »

I dont think so but if its agreed, I have one vacant class at the moment

If its gonna be on I will give out the classes so everyone has some time to get pictures ready

Team Svartalfheims · « **Reply #14 on:** April 19, 2008, 20:50:13 PM »

I'll get snapping straight away then lol. Will there be a fluffy toes class

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #13 on:** April 19, 2008, 20:41:41 PM »

Ummmmmmmm no LOL

I hope you can cos there are classes that will fit your cats to a T

Mind you I dont have Tans approval for any of this yet LOL , just testing the water but have to keep the number of classes down this yearbut would be great to see more entrants and lots more voting

Team Svartalfheims · « **Reply #12 on:** April 19, 2008, 20:38:35 PM »

Are classes being split into ped and non ped and then adults and kittens in each one again this year with the misc classes for all? At least this year I should actually have time to get some pics together for it as I didn't manage it last year.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #11 on:** April 19, 2008, 20:35:21 PM »

5 or 6 categories

Ummmmm how about 14

It was 84 or something last year

I think one lol class and a few additional ones as well...

My thoughts exactly, the lol class could be any pic as long as it was LOL captioned. There were still be the 'normal' categories so we would have the best of both worlds and as a result more entries and more £ raised for the rescue fund.

blackcat · « **Reply #7 on:** April 19, 2008, 19:33:35 PM »

those of us with less grasp on lol-speak may be at a disadvantage ... besides, there are lots of lovely dovley pix of our babes that don't necessarily lend themselves to lol so fewer entries all around. I think on lol class and a few additional ones as well...

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #6 on:** April 19, 2008, 19:28:39 PM »

Sorry , as I said I lost my original post and in that it was said that there would still be different classes, but was thinking on the lines of all of them being lolcats.

Dont you think thats a good idea?

maryas · « **Reply #5 on:** April 19, 2008, 17:56:54 PM »

Yes please Gill.

Teddy please don't eat Ducha.

Mary

Bazsmum · « **Reply #4 on:** April 19, 2008, 12:02:47 PM »

Yeah defo a lolcat Class! Im getting meself all excited for this year's event!

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #3 on:** April 19, 2008, 09:34:16 AM »

I think a 'lolcat' section would be a good idea but not sure about an entire lolcat show, reason being the aim is obviously to raise as much money as possible for the Purrs rescue fund. If we had 5 or 6 different categories (including a lolcat one) then I think we'd have lots more photos entered and as a result raise much more money.

blackcat · « **Reply #2 on:** April 19, 2008, 07:11:23 AM »

hmmmmmm, good idea! and we could compile them to create the calendar or diary for the end of the year

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #1 on:** April 18, 2008, 23:26:38 PM »

Just lost my post grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

On anotherthread you were saying you would like another cat show this year so a thought for your comments

How about a cat show with a difference and have one where you send a picture plus a caption a la lolcats

Caption

I ees dozin wiv my bear but he ates me!
