The theme for July 2009 is: “The best toys in life are free!†or Cats in bags or boxes!

Basics:
NO CATS CAN BE HARMED FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS CONTEST! Mildly annoyed , yes, but not actually harmed (pretty much goes without saying).


1.Only one entry per month, but you can change your mind and submit a different photo during the submission period.
2.No photo that has been featured in a past TCS Calendar can be submitted again. However, photos that were not in the top 3 (or 4 as the case may have been) can be resubmitted if they apply to the theme of the month. Additionally, photos can be submitted for more than one month but can only be voted in to the Calendar (top 3) once.
3.Rights to the winning photographs are granted to www.thecatsite.com for use in future TCS projects made available for purchase to other members and the public.

Photography

1. Photo and all rights must be owned by the submitter.
2.Photo entry must be at least 480 x 640 pixels, with higher resolution/size availability (by email) preferred.
3.Photo must be clear, focused, not manipulated by Photoshop (basic altering such as cropping, brightness, etc. is allowed) and apply to the theme of the month.
4.Photos that do not necessarily meet #2 and #3 can be entered, but will not make the final voting rounds.

Please be sure to tell us the name of the kitty(ies) in the photo, for award/future purposes.

The prize will include points, a custom signature and bragging rights for having the first, second and third place Ms. or Mr. July. The 1st place winner will also have a copy of the 2010 Cats of TheCatSite Calendar sent to them when it's finished. The calendar will include at least the top 3 place cats (possibly more depending on how close the votes are) from each monthly contest!

We also need to mention that winners will be asked to email full sized versions of the photograph to a moderator, and winning images will be used for future TCS projects made available for purchase to other members and the public (see above).

Deadline for submission is July 24, 2009.

All members, moderators, admin, and site owner are eligible for this contest.

I have no idea how she managed to achieve this amazing feat, but it is well documented!

This is Maggie inside an empty soda can box...and yes, the hole her head is poking out of is the only hole in the box...she got in head first, turned herself around inside, and popped her head out again!

This is a first time ever entry for me. I saw the theme and knew of the perfect picture. I've never done this before, so if I do something wrong (even though I read the 1st post thoroughly) please let me know.

I received a package in the mail and opened it up on my bed. As I unwrapped the tea kettle and tossed the paper aside, Ansel figured the box was for him. None of this was staged. The packing paper was as it fell and he got in the box and turned around.

Swat really enjoys hiding and then attacking (swatting) at whatever passes by. I tried to catch him with his paw flailing out of the hole but when he saw me with the camera, he just peered back at me.
