3rd place - Hobbes, Calvin and Hobbes
And Salem probably won in his own head and doesn't need anyone to tell him otherwise

I'll be sure to keep you updated on any future competitions I'm intending to host, but for now I really should focus on the @original-cat-showdown so if you want to see cat-themed original characters that's going to be a great place to start ;)

Yes my disciple, we are alive. Thank you for spreading our gospel. Your efforts will not be in vain.

The poem:
Home
I am a house cat, simple and plain
I was born to run in the meadows
But he locked me away in a barren room
And it is so lonely to run alone
I am a house cat, and I was unloved
Abandoned by the one I cherished most
As he crossed the ocean with my children in hand
I waited at the water’s threshold, and wondered if I would drown
I was a house cat adrift from the world
Afraid of the tragedy that followed my stride
But they came for me when I was lost and alone
And the world is not so frightening by their side
A child with hair the color of salmon,
Her laughter bringing light to my chest
She runs with me through rows of flowers
And tells me that I am loved
A man with hair as wild as the grass
Always moving, always searching for more
He holds me close to him at night
But does not force me to stay
These are the people that make my home
And I am a housecat, happy at last
I stare up at the sky from gentle arms
And there is no shadow to block my gaze
The sun is warmer than I ever dreamed
And my family is the warmest of all
Here is Shoe’s video!! He might not be animated the way Wagahai is, but isn’t his meow just adorable? I love him so very much.
Please!!! Please tie them!!!! I love all three of them and this would be incredible!!! We just need one more vote for Shoe and Wagahai!!!!
today i stubbed my tow very hard against my dressor but didn't feel anything #numb🤘
Propaganda 3
I’m back with more propaganda for my aa cats! I mentioned in the last one that Wagahai has kittens—kittens that we DO have pictures of!!!
Here they are!!
Can you spot them in the picture of the great ace attorney cast?? Worry not, here are some close ups!!
Kitten 1, making a home of Herlock’s shoulder! Look at those wide little eyes 🥺
Kitten 2 hiding behind Kazuma, looking curiously out at us. What a precious little kitty! And of course, kitten 3, climbing up to Ryunosuke like a little gremlin. Look at those tiny little paws!!
And here we have Wagahai, tired out from watching over her little kittens. Such a sweet, sleepy kitty—isn’t she just adorable?
Here are the kitties again, climbing up Soseki’s arm like little gremlins, tapping each other with playful little paws. Aren’t they just the cutest thing you’ve ever seen?
And here they are staring maliciously and mischievously in court. “You are not prepared for us”, their glittering little eyes say, and they are right.
And finally, another picture of the aa family. Look at Wagahai’s little paw, raised in greeting!!! Look at her little smile!!
And here is a close-up of the kittens on Ryunosuke’s head like little gremlins. Look at those eyes!!! They hold such innocence in them….but what is kitten 1 staring off at?? Something only a cat can see, I suppose. How mysterious, and how adorable
In conclusion: vote Shoe and Wagahai!!! Look at her kittens!! They were taken from her, but she will always love them, and we will always love her!! Please do not abandon her—she has already lost so much. Do not force her to lose this as well 🥺
Propaganda 4
It’s me again!! I know I’ve already posted a lot of propaganda, but Shoe and Wagahai are everything to me, so I’m back with more! I promised videos a while back, so here are the links to them!!

I hope you enjoy the videos of these adorable little kitties!! In all seriousness, I’m so happy they have made it to the semifinals, although I am devastated that it was not with Catbus. They hold a very special place in my heart, and it makes me so happy to see so many people supporting them so enthusiastically!! There was a moment last round where I really thought they were going to lose, and I felt so helpless, knowing that there wasn’t anything I could do to stop it. But I’m not the only one rooting for them–so many people were reblogging and commenting and begging their followers to vote in the poll, and people came out in spades to support these little kitties!!! Ultimately, it seems they were a little overeager, as we overshot the margin and didn’t tie with Catbus….but the fact that so many people love these cats, and wanted to be there for them when it really counted…that made me cry a little.
This is just a silly little cat poll, I know. It’s not supposed to be serious, and most of the time it isn’t!! It’s just a place for cat-lovers to come see cute kitty cats!! But this last round really meant a lot to me. So many of us came together just to support these silly little cats!! We are all connected by our love for them, which runs so very deep. They are just two little kitties, but they are loved. No matter what happens, they are loved, and there is something about that that made me cry. Wagahai was abandoned by her original owner, who took her kittens with him. We never find out what happened to Shoe after his owner was put in jail for hiring an assassin. Both of them were left behind, and one of them was forgotten about entirely. But we didn’t forget, and we won’t let them go without a fight.
Nobody thought we would make it this far, least of all me, but I’m so happy we did. I’ll keep fighting until the end, whatever that looks like, but even if we don’t make it to the finals, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who brought us this far. Thank you for loving these cats the way they deserve, and the way their original owners didn’t, or couldn’t. Thank you for supporting them, for fighting for them, for staying by their side. No matter what happens next, we will always love them, and that’s what really matters.
It's me again! Here is a collection of all the propaganda from previous rounds!!! So many people have fought so hard to get them this far, and their dedication really shines through in this collection!! Please, for us, vote Shoe and Wagahai.
