I did not see anywhere to submit my LOLcat pic? I filled out the form and submitted thinking the next page would have it but... nothing?

Hey Vikki,
Sorry, I didn't know you had to click ""Yes, I have more to share" in order to add photos. I've since added that info into the post, but if you'd like to send in your photo you can send it to me at sonia@apartmenttherapy.com. We're hoping to post the best pics in a future post!
Sorry for the confusion.

Mine was delivered yesterday. I'm going to set it up later today. Or maybe after the kiddo goes to bed tonight. Very enthused and amused. It will be interesting.

Cassis,
You do not want Damian. I think her name tells the story...

My cat's favorite product (after FOOD!) is a feather on a long metal chain. They love to jump for it or chase it. I collect robot figures (and I love sci fi) and I would be thrilled to win this.

Damian? That's hilarious. I call my one cat Zizi, short for Jezebel, and one that lives with my parents Lucy-fur. What is it about crazed black and white girls?

I love Evolution cat food (for my two kitties, not for me!).

Please. Tuxedo cats are the epitome of sane compared to the madness of the "ginger monsters" as my British cousin referred to my beloved deranged David. But I have a companion animal now. Lucky knows he's lucky and he knows his duty. He is everywhere I am, beside me or on me. But for fun, his favorite product is a nice mouse. Or another cat, which he also believes is a mouse. His power position is atop the seat of the stationary bicycle.

My cat product (or rather my cat's favorite product) is this large scratchy grey square of material from PetsMart. Apparently it retains body heat or something, but cats love it. I have two pure black cats and a cat that looks similar to Damien!

This looks really cool but I don't know if it would work for my kitten. He likes "standing" up in the litter box with his front paws on the back of the box so he can get some leverage to do his business. Strange cat, that one. But this would eliminate all worries of the dog sifting through and looking for treats...

I have one of these already that I purchased and it is my favorite thing in the world!!! One of my cats hates a dirty litter box and if it's dirty he will go other places, grrr. We got this because of this reason and we absolutely love it. However, we still have to have another litter box because we have 3 cats, so if I could win it would be perfect because then we would have 2 of these and not have to worry about the regular litter box!

My cats love pens. Don't leave a pen or pencil out. It's no longer yours.

We have 2 Litter Robots (bought 1, had a slight problem with it a year later; the company said I was still under warrenty and sent a part to fix it and a brand new unit). I would love to have a third to give to my sister (seriously, how does she live without one?).

In honor of the server names at work (mspdev01 for minneapolis development 1, camdev27 cambridge development 27etc), ours were christened campoo01 and campoo02.

Campoo01 has an apple sticker. Campoo02 has a redhat sticker. I have no idea why.

We've toyed with the idea of adding some rotation sensors to measure the distance each robot rotates daily. We joke a lot that 'production is up', and I'm amused by the idea of data to prove it.

I'm not really interested in the end product or the data. It just seems like a particularly hackable product.

Three cats have different favorite products.

SensitiveLongHairedPonyTailGuyCat like hair elastics. He steals them from me all the time. Sometimes I come home and find a pile of 10+ waiting for me in a little scupture. When I really lucky, he adds a hairball to give it a more personal touch. He also likes anything black as he LOVES to show off his flyaway white fur.

FluffyHappyGoLuckyCat really likes string and cardboard boxes. Best string thing ever was when DH was doing some light wiring, and couldn't figure out what pulled the wire up from the basement (which was a big help). It looked like string popping through a hole in the wall, which as far as the cat was concerned, was the best thing ever. So he pulled and made the project easier. We couldn't convince the cat to repeat when we rewired our new house recently.

PolydactylLarcenousAggressiveButAlsoReallyScaredCat likes corks and lazers. Kitten soccer and kitten hunting are rad.

My favorite cat product is clumping litter...what a great idea.
I love the prize...my Yorkie could no longer collect Kitty-Litter treats for himself with the Litter Robot.
Thank you!

Thank you for the contest! I have one picture of my kitty in my PC but for whatever reason that LOL generator is taking too long to upload it, not sure if I'm doing something wrong? I submitted my entry without it, I hope thats not a problem! I love LOL cats! Good luck to all!

I guarantee my 2 cats will be in there the moment it's set up. I keep warning them about "curiosity and the cat". but they just won't listen. Anything they are not supposed to mess with instantly becomes their favorite thing, especially electrical cords. Thank goodness for Bitter Apple or I would have had fried kitties long ago. They love to play with everything, especially cardboard boxes and those little furry mice, which they can throw remarkable distances. My cats also have an extreme distaste for dirty litter, so the Litter-Bot will be perfect.

Our Pusswhatie loves to be in the center of the action...and the kitchen table in front of the window is his spot...Often, we have a vase with flowers or other things, and he wraps himself around them...

What a fantastic prize! I certainly could use this. My 90 year old dad is still able to live in his home. My sister and I check on him and he is at one of our homes every evening. He has two cats and this would be much easier for us to help him with than what he uses now! Please enter me in your drawing. I really appreciate it! Thanks, Cindi

I just adopted three cats this would sure help me out. Cats are the greatest they are worth every bit of work they sometimes are but would always like something to help make things easier.
