Ok this might sound weird but as we all know yesterday was national cat day. I would like everyone to take a second and check out this awesome pic of a cat dressed as a lobster. C’mon who has ever seen that? 31 yr old male here whose wide entered their cat into a Halloween photo contest. The contest is based on how many likes the pic gets so I’m asking everyone to like the pic of my lobster cat!! Thanks everyone. ---

So you rock up to a messageboard you’ve never contributed to before, and expect the folks here to vote for your dressed up kitty, why? Reported for **strolling**! ---

Sorry, I was half asleep when I wrote this. My wife “wide” is just super excited about the contest. I just figured any help would be worth it. No worries. With that said I actually like the forum and it’s members, pretty witty. ---

Thats a seriously bad photo, if you’re looking for votes. How is anyone supposed to judge the costume when they only get to see the cat’s face? Maybe you should try again? ---

It’s against the rules here to post links to try to further a cause, without prior permission, Mattpk, so topic closed and I took out the link. Don’t post it again without asking first\* \*and considering you’re new and seemingly only came here to link us, permission probably won’t be granted for awhile
