It's back!


ROUND 3 OF THE TCS TREASURE CHALLENGE




Got those thinking caps on yet? Or in some cases, have you remembered your medication?




This Challenge gets us back to the basics.
We all know our ABC's.
We all love cats, and their often unusual names.

Now's your chance to put your research skills to the test, using both the ABC's and cat names.

We have selected one unique cat name for each letter of the alphabet.

Each set of clues will have no more than 5 letters in it. One clue will be given for each letter, consisting of the first two letters of the owner's username.

Find that name, then find their unique cat name that corresponds to the letter of the alphabet. You'll need to make a list of the names, in alphabetical order.

You can PM either icklemiss21, crittermom or myself during the Challenge to verify you have the correct username, but it will be up to you to get the correct cat name.



(For Challengers under the age of 18 that cannot use the TCS PM system, please email your answers to AbbysMom, a moderator who has kindly volunteered to assist you.
Her email address is abbysmom (add @thecatsite.com)


Once your answer has been submitted via PM (or email if you're under 18,) contestants with the correct answer will be awarded 1000 points and assigned a random name based on the amount of correct answers.

A poll will be posted for ALL TCS members to select a name.

The name with the highest amount of votes will be declared the winner,
and awarded 10,000 points!


As usual, you may stumble over special prizes along the way, so be prepared to win!


In the case of a tie, the contestants will be contacted with one bonus question to answer, given to them all at a mutually agreed upon time, so as to eliminate any influence due to time zones.
First to answer will be declared the winner.

To be honest, with my A.D.D. I can't even understand your instructions, let alone find the cat or the owner. The instructions are complex that they don't even make sense to me.

you have to look through usernames to find the unique cats name.(The letter has ONLY ONE UNIQUE cat named with that letter.)
example, let's say there is a username --named Lolosoft.He has a cat named Percocet. The clue would be
P--Lo

To make it really simple...

You get the first two letters of the persons name and need to find their cat beginning with whatever letter is beside it. So if you got

A. -- Ho

And you guessed HopeHacker, the cat would be Angel as all of the others have names that start with S.

So, let's say if the cat were Magnum, the clue would be

M=Ic Is that right?

good luck with that! I'm beginning to suspect TCS is a major shareholder in Dyson, the way they're talked about on here....

I may even attempt this challenge, now the rules have been spelled out.
