That was very cool! Thanks again to everyone who participated.

As you may know, previous months' winners had answers to what I thought were moderately difficult questions in only minutes after I posted them.
So I took it up a notch this time. Nonetheless, virtually nothing is sacred with all the search engines available to us. Heck, I had to use them to get this month's photos and names together.

There were a total of 26 possible correct answers, taking each and every cat, cat character, and catfish into equal consideration.
Several of you got many of them, but only two can win.

I'll post answers sent by the winner and runner up.

ryansmith83 sent in 18 of 26 correct answers. Way to go Ryan! You have $ 50.00 of fish credit towards your next order!

Honorable mention to aliu33 who did have the most correct answers (22), but sent them in at 3:45 AM EST.
I'm sorry, but I referred this dilemna over to the jury this morning (my kids) and they agreed - great job with answering, but a cut off is a cut off.

Had I left this open to answers for longer, I would have felt like a school teacher grading a pop quiz given to a very large class.
It was hard enough going through the responses I received.
I'd suck as a school teacher because I'd want to give everyone A's !


So here's the answer key for picture # 5
And yes, that's the anal fin of an arowana in the upper border of my photo.




and of course, there's Jerry the savannah cat

Woohoo! I've never won anything online. This is great.

Jeff, that was a really fun contest. I'd actually been researching wild cats (especially Servals) because I considered getting a Savannah. This contest was right up my alley, except for the actual fish portion of it. I'm horrible with catfish species. :D

Thanks so much for doing this! Congratulations to Sencion88, too.

Ryan

I did the same Ryan. That's why we have a savannah!
I was thrilled with the concept of owning a serval.
However, too many strikes against them for making a decent 'house pet'.
They may or may not use a litter box.
They may or may not be subject to spraying about the home.
Although a 30-35 lb athletic cat may sound so very cool, you can forget about keeping any decorations on top of tables, desks, etc.
You see the photo posted above with Jerry on the window sill? That's nothing compared to where a serval may go!
