Mango Minster, Here I Come

Mango Minster 2012 has officially started and the categories are; too darn cute, bad sport, cracker critters, adventure animals, too darn cute and working stiffs. The rules are;

1. You must have a blog that is about you.

2. ONE entry per household per category. Let's save room for everybody, OK, since I can only take 100 entries total.

3. It's OK to enter as a group.

4. Photoshop and videos are allowed.

5. Choose your category (see descriptions below).

6. WRITE A POST about why you are the best choice in that category (and post it - sheesh).

7. PEEMAIL ME at backupdog AT comcast DOT net to let me know you have posted. THIS ONE IS IMPORTANT, OK? Be sure to mention what category you are entering and whether you are a boy or a girl (some of you have the watcha call androgynous names and without an undercarriage check, well...).

8. Entries will be counted by date / time stamp in my peemail.

9. After you enter, be sure to pick up the official contestant picture from the sidebar to display on your blog.

Well I checked out all the categories and all of the competition and decided to enter in the

UMMMM HELLO DRUM ROLL PLEASE

BAD BLAIR CATEGORY

wait, wait, it appears someone messed up the categories

Mango what on earth is your Momma doing making a Bad Sport category?

I thought it was the Bad Blair category.......

Somebody had better fix this up and fast!

What do you mean that your Momma can't just change the categories now?

Who cares if there are other contestants entered!

Well fine consider this my entry to the....ugh.....bad sport category.

I guess I am a bad sport because I growl at Mom when she cuts my toe nails, pets me or hugs me

I suppose you could say I am a bad sport because I like to hiss at my family when they try to play with my toys

You might say I am a bad sport when I scratch my Mom during bath time

You would probably say "she's a bad sport" when I bite really hard and then walk away during playtime

I would let you call me a bad sport during family meals since I do not associate with them at all

I might be okay with you calling me a bad sport when I walk away from the flashy beast

You could probably call me a bad sport when I push Mom's face away when she tries to kiss me

You may call me a bad sport when I requested a name change for this category even with my prettiest face on

I guess since that name change isn't happening that I am going to be a bad sport about the bad sport category. Plus for all you dogs in the contest Mango named them CATegories not DOGegories so don't expect to beat all of us cats. Actually you better just enter in the poor sports category for when you lose.

So instead place your votes for a CAT like perhaps ME to win the Mango Minster Tiara!

What no tiara now? How about a crown? Jewels?

UGH

Mango this bad sport category is making me look like a bad sport instead of a bad cat!

I Blair truthfully declare that this blog belong to me and only me, my undercarriage contains only female parts and my photoss are not photoshopped in any manner.

Perhaps a scepter would be acceptable?

Just discuss it with the Momma

Me hit people with it.......I would never do that......lightly tap perhaps

VOTE FOR BLAIR

QUEEN OF MANGO MINSTER

He will be picking his personalized collar from

Our local petstore carries their awesome collection.

Milk will be choosing from the Yummy Collars collection.

And he also gets to choose three charms, so exciting.

I can't wait to see the finished product!

I hope Mom buys me a new collar too, since I may have misplaced my christmas one outside. Mom says that when spring comes I will find them all outside in the yard! We are still working hard on my party invitations and will be posting it soon. I can't wait to have everyone over!

Mango Minster/ Party

Just in case you forgot in all the excitement of the superbowl, the Mango Minster Show started this week. Congrats to all the winners of the Shameless and Diva Doggies! Please remember to go vote for the reader's choice everyday this week and to see all the different categories.

Also I just wanted to let you all know that I am amidst negotiations with my Mom and Grandma about holding a party after the Mango Minster is finished for all my friends. I really need your help though, I am wondering how I can mass order cheetos, whether the beer company truck will deliver to my house and how to download a free version of photoshop or what other kind of program everyone uses to fix up their pictures. ( You know like the get rid of the wrinkles and slim your tummy kind! )

Mango Minster Prize and other things

As you all know I managed to convince my Mother to put up a prize for the Mango Minster kitteh catergory. Now I was browsing at my local pet store when I saw these beautiful collars, and said Mom these are the most amazing collar's a pet could have. You can get them in all kinds of colours and even put charms on them!

Of course then my Mom said "Oh Blair these would be a perfect prize for Mango Minster". Needless to say she didn't buy one for me...ugh. But we are offering one collar for the first place kitteh decorated with some of these really cool charms.

We pondered about how many charms we should offer and decided that 3 would be our number and that the winner could pick any three charms and colour of collar. At this point Mom asked for the website and found out that...gasp....these were part of a DOG DESIGNER COLLECTION. I panicked for a little bit wondering if my kitty friends would be okay with wearing dog gear but Mom said that I have worn dog stuff lots and never minded so the thinks that it will be fine with them too.

So here is website where we will be buying the prize www.foufoudog.com , feel free to browse and maybe your parents will actually let you buy stuff for you.

My Mango Minster Post

This is my official entry post for this year's Mango Minster 2011. To start with my qualifications, I have my very own blog, I am writing a post, AND I Blair Cat allow Mango and his Mango Momma to use my pictures. Ok now that the legal stuff is over......

I am going to enter myself into the Kitteh CATegory and here is why I Blair should win.

I can survive through hamster attacks

(yes I did type that correctly, I was just looking when it launched itself at me)

I enjoy playing in the tub

(that is until Mom puts me under water and SHE comes out looking like a cutter)

I have my very own toy box and cat tent

(yes I have THAT many toys)

My Mom makes me do tricks for my treats

(She makes me do crazy things)

When I meow my Grandma lets me outside or inside or gives me milk or gives me treats

(Her training is going well)

I let my Mom play cat-fishing with me

(BEST GAME EVER!)

Finally I like to ignore my Mom when she is all like Blair come snuggle me and I don't want to. I enjoy meditating in the sun on Grandma's chair. I enjoy catching flies and chase them all over the place so I can eat them. I ask my Mom for all the cool toys on TV but my favourite is the toilet paper rolls or the kleenex boxes. I enjoy getting up on the counters to see what kind of foodables might be left up there for me to enjoy. And yes I do go to the bathroom in the litter box, unless it is dirty, then I leave it on the floor for Mom.

I also am able to give really good dirty looks, ruin pictures by walking away, and I have a special growl for my Mom when she is being annoying.

I hope that I qualify for the Kitteh CATegory and that I am kitteh enough otherwise just switch my entry to the DIVA/BAD SPORT sections.

LOVE BLAIR XOXO

Mango Minster 2011

Gosh I am so excited that Mango invited me to enter his really cool doggy and kitty show. Of course I will be entering the kitteh section, showing off all my kitteh badness and maybe goodness too.

(Have I mentioned yet that I enjoy watching people take baths and showers)

In fact Mom was so excited that she asked if we could sponser the winner of the kitty category!



We found some really pretty collars at the petstore that can be PERSONALIZED for the winners to have their name on. But if I win then the prize would go to the next winner since ...Santa just brought me a new one....WHOOPS....I mean since it is the nice thing to do.

Yes Mom and I can't wait to see all the entries and maybe meet some new friends!
