Contest: ENTER SF&F Avatar Contest: This is for the Cat People

[theenglish]

Cats are found all over Science Fiction and Fantasy. They play roles in space based shows, medieval fantasy settings, urban fantasy and horror, and even in super-hero stories. This contest is looking for the best cat images, and the cat may not be a cat. It just needs to look like an earth based house cat. No lions or tigers or other big cats. Just (seemingly) friendly, cuddly, purring cats you might welcome into your home. Source material can be live action, animation, anime or comics.

I have some many ideas that I am going to wait to post my second and third entries later in the week, but I do want to post an image of what inspired this contest--

The Flerken from The Marvels

Standard Avatar Contest Rules:

--------------------------------

Max image size 200x200px.

How about this totally original, never seen before entry?

"Déjà vu" cat, The Matrix

Do we allow re-entries normally? I am fine with it if nobody objects--it fits the category and for a lot of people, it will be one of the first things that comes to mind.

Oh, yes. Very much.

Thomas Kincade Brannigan from the Doctor Who episode Gridlock:

gif from the opening credits to a short-lived series called "Tucker's Witch". The cat would come to her, she sensed it had information, she's look it in the eyes and get information.

The entire series, as well as the unaired pilot (different leads and some scene changes), are legally up from the production company on YouTube.

It's also got an insanely infectious and memorable orchestral theme by Brad Fiedel. Of note: the unaired pilot features a completely different arrangement of the theme, more harsh.

Sorry--I admire the ingenuity, and at the same time, the contest is for images of house cats or variants thereof.

There's still some cool cats out there. I'll be closing the entries and posting the poll sometime Sunday afternoon PST, so please consider this to be the last call for entries.
