Photo Contest: East Hampton's and Portland's Crazy Cats!

Enter your favorite photo of your cat being crazy, funny, silly or adorable, and you could win a prize!

A wise man once said, “The Internet was created for people who love cat photos.” At Patch, we believe that to be true. And since our photo contests recently featured dogs, and then athletes, and then kids, it seemed natural that it was Kitty’s time to shine. 

So we invite you to share your favorite photo(s) of your feline friend(s) doing what they do best – acting silly. You can submit as many photos as you’d like. Photos can be entered from 4 a.m., Monday Sept. 17 until 5 p.m., Friday Sept. 21.

Patch editors will then choose their favorites – up to 10 – and on Monday we will post a new article featuring each Patch regions’ winners. Voting in a poll will commence at 4 a.m., Monday Sept.  24 and end at 5 p.m., Friday Sept. 28.

On Monday, Oct. 1, we will post the 5 regional winning cat photos, and voting in a poll will run from 4 a.m., that day through 5 p.m. Oct. 5.

The article featuring Eastern Connecticut’s Craziest Cat will be published Monday Oct. 8.

Please note that this contest is being run differently than the Top Dog contest because we had problems with some people not being able to behave themselves. So, we are not allowing commenting on any of the cat articles, and we are using our polling rather than commenting because it is more difficult to mess around with. You do need to be a registered Patch user to enter a photo and to vote in a poll, and you can do that by clicking the Sign Up button in the top right corner of the home page.

Some more important details:

  • Open to legal residents of the 50 United States, the District of Columbia who are 18 and older.
  • To enter, upload a photo.
  • All entries must be received by 5 p.m. Friday Sept. 21 Eastern Time.
  • You may enter as often as you like.
  • The winner of the last portion of the contest – Eastern Connecticut’s Craziest Cat – will receive a $100 gift card or a prize package of equal or greater value.
  •  Read the complete rules here.

1st of all - LOWER income community's " certainly Is not referring to places such as PortlandRead More or East Hampton so I'm confused why the writer implies it does since clearly it doesn't ! the other comment the writer chooses to include is "society lets kids down" referring to not allocating enough $$$ for supplies or education ..... THIS is JUST CRAZY !!!! on a Larger Level the USA throws more $$ at education thinking it will make a difference when it will not - and the results show it... 2ndly - has anyone that agrees with this Assertion actually ever looked at the Budgets these school systems receive ? it's clear that the majority if our tax $ goes to educators and the system - and it's mainly comes down to a few simple things when we talk about why teachers are taking cash outta their own pockets to buy supplies. it has NOTHING to do with not having the $$ it comes down to - the educators and Dept Leads NOT planning correctly. if they had planned correctly and put it in their HUGE inflated budgets they wouldn't have to go buy things .... Also it cones down to the administrators not working with the boards to put a system in place that if for some reason - something is needed - they have an Avenue To obtain it or get reimbursed for it Easily. So we really need To put a stop to continuing to put a slant on these types of stories - and just start stating the facts. the last thing I find VERY strange is that Nowhere the PTA is mentioned and What a great resource they are !!! The majority of the time these groups have plenty of $$$ ON HAND that they actually need to "" THINK of "" year after year what to do with it all...... they are great groups that really add to the overall assistance to the depts within the schools. last year alone for an example is that our PTO purchased over 1200 dollars in tee shirts for the 1st graders to wear at an Assembly as well as Utilizing their funds to purchase a $800 Color laser printer. So let's all take a step back and Realize Yes maybe our teachers are out there purchasing supplies however It is not due to a lack of funds with in the school systems budgets

In North Korea we have the Same old S - - T as we had with his Father and Grandfather. If they wantRead More to destroy their country, Bring it on! He is nothing but a BIG MOUTH. I feel sorry for the N. Korean people to have such a jerk as this dictator. It is too bad they don't have a good democracy.
