Gosh, I'm not even qualified to be a loser... I'm a "pre-loser" since this is my first challenge entry. Because I didn't know any better, I uploaded my photo assuming there'd be an intervening up/down decision before my photo appeared. Nope, it showed up immediately. So my cat is here under false pretenses. To whom do I make my confession?

Read the rules jimrpdx, "I might consider allowing entries from beginner participants if their entry is on par with the rest of the field". I am sure there are photos entered from people who have not won yet and have not been DQ'd.

Wow, losers need not apply. What fun. :(

I would love to see dual coloured cat eyes. It's fascinating.
