That’s right — I’m in the Cat-O-Lympics boxing competition! This is not my first time. As you can see from this photo from several years ago, I competed against Light Heavyweight Binga.
This wasn’t quite fair, since I was (and still am) a Featherweight. Even so, there was no clear cut winner, and no medals handed out. This caused quite a scandal. Personally I think Binga should have been disqualified; as you can see from our match, she hit below the belt.
Binga and I are both back in action this year and will be battling it out for the gold medal. Here are our stats:
Binga, aka La Gata Loca from Lacy St. (as in L.A. Animal Control on Lacy St.)
Weight: 12 lbs., 0 oz.
Class: Light Heavyweight
Length, Nose-to-Tail: 19″
Tail Length: 13″
Waist: 16″
Binga specializes in throwing her weight into her blows. She also plays dirty, as this training photo with a dummy reveals.
Sparkle, aka The Terrible Tornado from Temecula
Weight: 5 lbs., 15 oz.
Class: Featherweight
Length, Nose-to-Tail: 19″
Tail Length: 13″
Waist 13 1/2″
Sparkle’s specialty is her dangerous left hook. She is known to leave her claws untrimmed before a bout, landing a nasty surprise on her opponent’s nose.
While the two cats have similar lengths, Binga has a clear weight advantage. Sparkle, however, is known for her speed and agility, and what she lacks in poundage, she makes up for in ferocity.
May the best cat win!
Purrfect Form!!! 10 and 10 and 10!!!
We’ve posted our second (more traditional style) boxing entry on our blog! Sorry, our human’s a little slow at typing today!
I don’t know if we have what it takes to defeat you two though!
This could be the battle royale! What a great match up!
Wow ! Your paw look very strong! 😉
My money is on you Sparkle, small but scrappy.
I’ll mention your event on my Monday post. Thanks for playing!
We can’t believe Binga started a boxing match over a loving head butt. She may not be someone you want to mess with Sparkle!
Looking forward to the action!
You got pretty good technique, Sparkle! It’s gonna be a good fight!!
We’re sponsoring the Sychronized Snoozing competition…details on Monday!
Sparkle… I mean this in the nicest possible way… don’t mess with the Binga. I wouldn’t even wanna mess with her. She is bootiful and all, but you can see in her eyes that she just wants it more – that never ends well for her opponent.
I am pulling for you, Sparkle! 🙂
