Contrary to popular belief (twitter.com/evilbilliejean) she is not at all evil. (The pet owner (me) had nothing to do with the creation of this twitter account).”

She had a broken leg from presumably being hit by a car. After I adopted her, her leg had to be amputated. Now she is a happy, healthy, tripod kitten!”

Tumbleweed

“This is my beloved, somewhat shy, and slightly neurotic cat Tumbleweed! She was rescued from a shelter in New York City after the roof fell in during the summer storms of 2007. She is making her way with me up and down the east coast having lived in New York City, Boston, and Washington, DC. This photo is from soon after our move to DC last summer (she stole my hair elastic). She is described by many friends as having owl like qualities especially at night her eyes are huge!”

Kirby

“This is Miss Scarlett’s older (and very patient) brother Kirby. He enjoys going fishing, riding in the Jeep, long runs on the beach, and chasing anything that’s round, bouncy, or otherwise can be projected through the air. He can get pretty much any girl he wants with those striking green eyes . . .”


Purrsey

“This is Purrsey Cat. He’s a tiger striped Siamese.”


Angel

“Carrie Chapman Cat[t], known as C.C., is named for a famous suffragist and is completely blind. She and her three kittens were rescued from an unheated shelter in rural Virginia by Homeward Trails, who even created a facebook group about how awesome she is. Now she leads a life of luxury in Southwest DC, where she enjoys long naps in front of a fan, belly rubs, and her squeaky mouse toy.”



Coolest Pet in PoPville 2009 People’s Pick, Ike

It is time for the Coolest Pet in PoPville 2010 competition! For those not familiar with this highly anticipated contest the rules are simple – you may send in 1 photo of each pet you own (no more than 3 total). There are three standard categories: Dog, Cat, and Other plus a new category this year – multiple pets. If you have a few pets feel free to get a shot of them all together for this new category. However the winner of the overall contest will come from the Dog, Cat or Other category.

Send a photo of your pet to princeofpetworth(at)gmail(dot)com and in the title please say “2010 PoPville Pet Contest – Dog” or Cat or Multiple or Other. If you would like to include a sentence or two about your pet that would be great but is not required. The process is simple – all pets will get an initial group post, if one is particularly striking let me know in the comments. A selection of 5-10 pets per category will make it into the finals for each category. At the very end the winner of each category will face off for title of Coolest Pet in PoPville. In addition to bragging rights, the people’s pick and editor’s pick will have t-shirts made up with their picture on the shirt. (Have you seen Ike or Dr. Dre shirts around town?) Here are the 2009 dog finalists, cat finalists, and ‘other’ finalists or all the posts from the 2009 Coolest Pet in PoPville competition here.

Good luck!
