And the winner is...

No surprises here... the hometown hero comes through in the end and wins the title of "Buffalo Blog's Feline Idol."

It was a hard fought battle across three fronts: Monkey got off to a quick lead, and then Mr. Sandwich put in a bid for first place before Shelby stepped in and carried the lead for the next several days. However, in the clutch, Mr. Sandwich was able to pull in some last-minute votes to pull out the win.

Thanks everyone for playing, but really, did you think Mr. Sandwich could possibly lose? I mean, seriously? And for any doubters, take a look at the final vote count.

In other news, I think Monkey has been leading a double life. Take a look at this video and tell me that isn't our very own beefy-boy climbing ladders to some catchy John Williams beats?

Nice video... You have to watch out for Monkey, she's a fucking ninja... And did you see that other cat in the video? That looks EXCACTLY like on of our other two cats (yes I fucking know I'm a fucking cat lady... blah, blah, and yes blah), Ella. Watch out for Monkey the ninja kitty.
Mr. Sandwich you may be the Feline Idol, but Monkey, she may attack you someday in the middle of the night, and no, you can't take her, she weighs as much as Austin, so watch your back...
But on a final note Senor Sandwich, kudos, I thought that Parker's cat was gonna win, and amen that she didn't, Parker I love you but get your own cat.
Come to Baltimore, there are three cats here up to date on their shots and free of charge...
No more talk of cats. I have a pirate joke but it will be posted on the other post for fun.

Hey Austin,
I don't know if you are still with us, but if you are I have a little bit of shameless self-promotion that I would like to send your way. I've got a website www.nathanielrogers.com, and I think not only should you visit it... but if I would link it on your blog I might be able to eventually make my way onto google. I know I'm totally tacky, but maybe you could do a post about it... I do miss them...
