Does your Cat have Human Characteristics - Winners

Our Human Characteristics competition ended – but we had hundreds of entries that made us realise how closely our furry friends resemble us! Thank you to everyone who sent in their entries; we will be posting some of the best on the site in the weeks to come.

Congratulations to our winners – your cats can be truly counted as members of the family!

The grand winner has won a $150 Cat Hamper – congratulations to Pamela in NSW!!

Pamela of NSW; My cats meow sounds like ” muuum”

With my kids has a morning hugs.

Owns his own toys( but steals my sons).

He thinks hes one of us.

When hes sick so loudly he cries,

He carries on like hes barely alive!

When nanna visits hes first at the door.

Dont try to push in , he brings out the claws.

Reading my son books, he jumps on the bed and lays his head on the pillow.

Dont try moving him he flops like a willow.

Does he know hes a cat? my family say.

We wouldnt have MOMO any other way!

Runners up receive a toy hand puppet which will entertain both your cat and you for hours!

1. Carol of VIC; apparently he leaves the fridge door open, switches on all the lights, wears kids clothes, puts holes in them and hides anything I might be looking for. That’s what they keep telling me anyway.

2. Michael of VIC; My cat Ranen who is 10 years of age since a kitten has showers with me at least once a month i will hold her and she enjoys the water on her and then she will get scrubbed clean shampooed and towel dried and she never complains about it i think she sees its good for us so what about me!!

3. Brett of QLD; If our cat thinks that we are sleeping in too late he will go into the ensuite and flush the toilet to wake us up and get some attention. Also if there is chicken in the fridge he will open the fridge by digging his claws into the seal and pull out the chicken. We had to buy a child lock for the fridge.

4. Cathy of NSW;
My Tabby Maggie thinks she is human and everytime I have friends over she sits and eavesdrops on our juicy conversations. She hides just out of sight but we see her tail and ask her to leave so she moves into a less obvious spot.She has to know all the goss!!!

5. Lyn of NSW; My cat has two human qualities, firstly a love of red wine and secondly the very human ability to embarass me in front of guests. She jumped onto the shoulder of a guest at dinner, leant over and put her nose in his wine glass and started to lap.

6. Mike of VIC; My cat “Alex”, dissapeared during the bushfire of 07/02/09. He returned 4 days later with just a singe eyebrow. He is the Arnold Swarznegger of the cat world.

7. Karina of NSW; My cat is a princess who likes wearing fake nails!

8. Rachel of VIC: My cat loves chips. One day he had snuck into the cupboard and I had found him eating a small packet of potato chips. Only thing strange about that was that he was standing on his back legs like a human and he had managed somehow to open the packet with his front paws. He had his whole head emerged in the chips while holding the packet in his two paws and on his back legs and there were crumbs everywhere. He cleaned them up after her had finished the packet though. I couldn’t believe it.

9. Taylor of NSW; My cat had a suspected bladder infection, but I didn’t want to believe it. My cat then came up to me meowed and rubbed against me to alert me to follow him. I did and he went to the toilet in front of me. I didn’t see anything so I went back inside. He followed and did the same again. This time when he went to the toilet, I noticed there was blood. A clear indication of a bladder infection. He wanted me to know he was sick.

10. Sharyn of VIC; She’s a survivor,recently on a trip away she accidently got locked in the house for 10 days without food & water,she was able to keep herself calm despite the trauma and need for food and caused very little destruction inside,she is a true legend and this bought her much closer to the members of the family
