I know you're all going to say
What - only 10 votes!
but we have a system of number of votes to number of entries. Our number was in the high end for 10 votes, but I thought, our members love a challenge, so we should go with the protocols. :biggrin:

Now I will run away and hide ....

That is not a problem for me. Because this is a Begging Cats photo contest, I looked for real begging poses and expressions first, then if a picture was good quality IMO. But that does not make other pictures any less cute!

Are you able to see who voted for what?

I agree with you - this time it was not too difficult to pick out 10 begging cats from simply cute cats. I did try to take a photo of one of my cats sitting up and begging - something she does regularly - but she never gives me enough time to take a photo before she's worked out that she'll get what she wants much faster by pouncing. 🤣

Okay, I did it, but don't think I didn't want to vote for EVERYONE. I did as gilmargl gilmargl said. Because, well, it's a contest and it's about beggy cats.

Cats beg in different ways. The dog way of begging is of course to sit up on her back legs, and we have some great examples of that in the competition. But cats can beg with a look or a gesture.
We wouldn't have put this as a photo competition if it simply meant 'begging like a dog' (however those who managed that did very well!).

Except when they are hunting or perhaps "playing", aren't cats always begging for something - even when sleeping? Mine always seem to be asking for: a tickle under the chin, a door to be opened, a game, foooooood, a lap, .......! It's no easy task being a cat owner. 🤣

It's too bad this wasn't videos of cats begging. It's not the same without Sparkle's whine.
