As reported earlier, Cat Scout Mau has entered the Cardwood Derby with his Cat Scout University security vehicle. We haven’t been promoting, but he could use your votes to to get in the derby finals. If you are so inclined, you can vote for him here. Several voting categories exist. Mau is listed in each category. Here are the photos of his car. Voting ends tonight at midnight.
I don’t know how to say good-bye.
I thought you were invincible; though,
You used up many of your nine lives.
You ruled us all with an iron paw;
Never took “no” for an answer
And always got your way.
If not, you’d bark to signal your
Displeasure and sometimes raise a paw.
I always joked that you were bi-polar.
When I told people you were a calico
They immediately understood what I meant.
Today was unnaturally quiet in the house.
Can a home seem empty with eight cats?
I will miss waking up at night to find you
Sitting next to me and staring at me.
I will miss you yelling at us as you did
When you wanted breakfast and dinner.
I will miss watching you lounging and snoozing
On the porch settee on a warm afternoon.
But most of all I will miss your kisses!
When kitten Sawyer befriended you,
We suspect you were imparting your
Wisdom and secrets for controlling us.
Time will tell if he was a good listener.
But whatever he may have learned,
Neither Sawyer nor any other cat
Can or will replace you in our hearts.
Lily Olivia, you were one-of-a-kind.

If only that window pane wasn’t there! Then, we could really see who the victor was, right CJ?! We hope Fiona is getting used to her meds now and that all is getting better for everyone. XO
the critters in the cottage xo
What great pictures!!! Is there anything cuter than a squirrel?
CJ Congratulations on the stare down. Congratulations to your mom for getting such great pictures.
CJ you made that squirrel look away first; brilliant technique CJ! And Mau your car looks faster than the speed of a run away bunny
Cute! I love this.
I nominated you for the Three Day Quote Challenge. You can read about it on my blog. I hope you do it. You had me do a quote challenge a while ago! HUGS!
My gosh, that squirrel has a death wish. Or at least a “I wanna wrassle” wish!!!
Good for you CJ – show em who’s boss!
That was a great stare down.
Ha! That squirrel is a wimp!
Well, well, well… nicely played!
WOOF!
Great job C.J. I voted for Mau for at least one category, there were so many great entries, I wanted to spread out my votes.
WEll done C.J.!
That squirrel had no chance against you ! Purrs
Whoa! That stare down was awesome! We’re not sure we wouldn’t have rushed the window and bonked our heads!
You showed that squirrel a thing or two, Calista Jo!
We tried to vote, but the link doesn’t seem to work. 🙁
That squirrel is so close! It has to be so hard not to just pounce through the window. My kitties would probably bonk their heads on the window trying.

PeeS: The link to vote for Mau didn’t work for us.
You get the bestest channels ever! We’re so jealous!
I love squirrels. Unfortunately where I lived we don’t have squirrels – the only time I saw a squirrel in the wild was in England.
I tried to vote for Mau, but the link doesn’t seem to be working.
Great job, C.J., you sure showed that squirrel who’s boss. And I love your security vehicle, Mau!
Good job! We already voted.
We love squirrels too! Unfortch our owner doesn’t seem to share our enthusiasm. WHY?! They look like lots of fun! BTW we tried to click on the link “here” again but not working. We WERE able to vote last week though (we think) We just love all those boxy cars. What a perfect activity for cats!
I tried to vote but the link didn’t work. I hope he wins tho!
Wow ! Is the squirrel hungry?
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
I tried to vote but the link didn’t work!! I hope you win Mau!!
Squirrels! It’s easy to win with them – they have the attention span of a gnat.
You and that squirrel are very close!
Way cool security vehicle, Mau!
Calista Jo! You sure got a good view of that tree rat, OMC!!
All the cars in the derby are so clever and creative. That is one brave squirrel.
