And we take you now to the interspecies semifinals, between Ivana Leekya from Catsylvania and Helen Ratigan representing the UK. Experts are predicting that the size difference could play a deciding factor in this matchup…

Ooh, can I spin the spinner, Cass Z.?

Do you get extra points if you can put your entire body on just one spot? Then Helen wins!
“Ivana Leekya”. Ha. I love your wacky brain, NTMTOM.
I second that !
I third it!
Motion carried AGAIN! Helen Ratigan. Brilliant.
I fourth that!
OK, so I just read this comment as you saying you wanted to lick Mike’s brain.
I’m suffering from an infected cat scratch today, and it seems my own brain is not functioning all that clearly.
*…Wonders if licking Mike’s brain would be like licking those toads that cause hallucinations? Hmm, Probably. But we’d probably see psychedelic hedgehogs, hamsters in top hats and tails, slow lorises and sloths moving really fast, and marmalade kitties in the Oval Office…*
Hey Nikki, if you ask him very nicely, maybe he’ll unscrew the top of his skull for a minute and let you try it.
Yoo Hoo! Mike, do you have a second?!?
Helen definitely looks ready to go!! Ivana, on the other hand, just looks annoyed.
Yeah, there’s some wackadoodle eyes and the begininings of some pissed-off ears going on there…
Ya, this cat looks about two seconds away from a quick turn, an even quicker swat and/or the potential for a “fatal” move. Even if it loses the “game”, it’s a winner!
I see CLAWS.
P.S. Thanks for a rattie pic! More, please.
“Orunj paw on khaki dot” …..
Those are some determination ears there.
Oh, Ratigan, oh, Ratigan!
The rest fall behind
To Ratigan, to Ratigan,
The world’s greatest criminal mind!
Dumbo Rat! <3
He looks like my Sinjin, also a dumbo with a rex coat. Love the ratties!
My boy Pirat loks just like that rat, too! Seems the rat is looking at the camera and the cat is looking for a way out..teehee.
I love the fingers on that cat. Cat fingers are my favorite snack.
You can’t get to me! I have a big cat here!
Oh, I know that look from the cat…
Move away from the cat very very slowly.
Ivana here is my twin and my debt collector. I want the cheese you owe me right now.
Actually, most cats are not interested in rats for food. They’re too big and they can fight back.
I concur. I have two cats and two rats. My older cat thinks rats are a dumb idea and ignores them completely. The younger cat is fascinated, but moves away when the rats approach him.
My cat’s name is Ivana Kilya.
A game of cat and mouse… er cat and rat. Now all we need isa bat and a gnat.
Rat: Let’s play Twister!!!
Cat: You’re SO annoying!
