And the winner of the Big Kitty Photo Contest is Merry!! Congratulations to this beautiful girl! She and her friends at the Forever Home Feline Ranch in Springfield, IL will get to choose either the Big Baby or the Big Baby Jr. Scratch’n Slumber Comfort Lounge from Brawny Cat. We hope you enjoy your new lounge, Merry!
The folks at Brawny Cat enjoyed seeing the photos of all your big kitties so much that they have some other special surprises. The other four finalists are going to receive a Big Baby Jr. Comfort Padlet as a thank you. And that’s not all! Everyone else who orders any size Scratch’n Slumber Comfort Lounge between now and September 3 will also receive a replacement padlet for free! That’s at least a year’s worth of scratching, because you can use both sides of each padlet.
When you place your order at www.BrawnyCat.com, you don’t need to add the extra padlet to your shopping cart. Just leave a message in the comment field when you check out with PayPal saying that you read about this offer on Moderncat and you will get the second padlet for free, including shipping.
Thanks again to everyone who submitted photos, and thanks to Brawny Cat for sponsoring the contest!

Yay, Merry Noel won! I’m hoping that all this exposure will lead to her being adopted… I wish I could.
And double yay for the people at BrawnyCat, really nice for them to give away that many goodies.

Merry Noel would like to thank everybody that participated in the contest. She says it was an honor and a pleasure to be in the company of such purrfect nominees. Merry would also like to thank Diane Lyddon of Crafty Dog Designs for taking her picture and nominating her, Kate at Moderncat, Andy of Brawny Cat, and everyone that voted. Merry wants all the humans to know how much the cats appreciate their unique and individual purrsonalities. She said she will share the lounger with the other cats at the Forever Home Feline Ranch and will nag the ranch hands to send pictures.
Purrs and Paws to All – Cheryl (ranch hand) and Merry Noel

I’m so happy that “Merry Noel” can know that all of us
cat lover appreciate her. My wish for her is that she will get
adopted and have many more Scratch’n Slumber Confort Loungers to sleep on for many years to come. My Bossy was one of the first group of the 204 picked. I was so excited that I have been calling him “Iternet Boy” and “Mr. 177″ He came from my neighbor’s cat that had kittens and 14 months later we got his brother from the same Mommy. He also has
two sisters that we did adopt. Adopted animals seem to know they
finally have a place where they can be loved, and it is so rewarding to be able to give them that love. My cats “own” me…!
Happy Slumbering Merry Noel.

Congrats to Merry, I’m glad to see that the majority voted for the picture that really showed how BIG of a cat she really is. The original voting really should have been only for the BIG cats. I really think that only 2 of the finalists really looked like big cats the rest you just couldn’t tell from the photo and when you are voting on a photo people judge a pictures cuteness as opposed to the point of the contest, which was the cuttest BIG kitty. With saying that, Merry would have been my first choice of cute big kitty, so I’m glad the voting went the right way in the end! Congrats

Wonderful win Merry, and kudoos for all you do. I had a kitty many, many years ago with the same coloring, same size or more called Bimbo. My nephew wanted him from my kitty’s litter. She always had the same color babies. Long ago passed over!
