~{The Feli}~ competitions - voting is over!

TheLeet · February 20, 2012, 07:54:27 AM

There's so many Feli on secundi and so little to do with them so I thought why not try out some sort of competitions? So yeah, we'll see how this goes and if all goes well and enough people are interested, there will probably be more Feli competitions in the future

How will it work?
This is a kind of beauty contest split into three groups. Over the next coule of days, you may enter one of your Feli. Afterwards, there will be a vote on the winners.

What can I win?
The winners of each group will have a little Rosette added to their agency information. Their owners will also be given a voucher for a minor lineart edit on a Feli of their choice.

Rules:
~ You may only enter one Feli (not one per group)
~ You may only enter your own Feli and it has to be named and grown-up
~ if you're not sure if your Feli fits the criteria for the group you'd like to enter it in, pm me

~ If you have a Feli entered in this competition, you have to vote once voting opens. If you do not vote, your Feli is disqualified.
~ You may only vote if you have a Feli entered into the competition
~ You're not allowed to vote on the group that your Feli is entered in, so make sure to only vote on the two other groups

~ If there's no clear winner after voting, I will choose a winner out of the Feli with the highest votes

To enter your Feli into the competition, please fill in this form and post it in bold:

Group1: Mackerel Tabbies

This group is for mackerel tabbies only. They can be mutated (longhair, bobtail, etc.) but they're not allowed to be mixed with other patterns (like bicolour, colourpoint or tortie, for example). Mackerel tabbies that also show ticked tabby are allowed.

Hee hee, Leet you are a genius! I have always wanted something more to do with my Feli, and showing them off in a cat show is just the perfect idea! ^^

One question, because I'm a total moron and I always get them mixed up: is the mackeral tabbies the one with the thin stripes all over, or the big thick stripes?

That's at least a start. I'd have a hard time picking which Feli to enter, too XD

It was SO difficult to choose! And I looked up mackerel's and I'm quite sure she fits the criteria, but if you want to double check for me, Leet, that would be awesome <3

This Contest idea is so great!!

TheLeet · February 20, 2012, 10:29:22 AM

She doesn't fit the criteria as she's also a bicolour and a torbie as well as a mackerel tabby. Sorry <3

I think the first thing I've learnt from this experiment is to not have the criteria for the first group quite as narrow. I wanted to be quite specific in the first group to give "plainer" Feli a fair chance but yeah, I think I went a bit overboard

I'd definitely do that differently next time.

Solistia · February 20, 2012, 12:36:24 PM

Just to check, because I'm fail at recognizing non-obvious coat patterns, are either of these Feli considered Makerel Tabbys that fit the criteria of the first category?

Ryuukokoro · February 20, 2012, 01:07:25 PM

I think those are both the fat-stripe kind of tabby, Soli. :\

Mackeral is thin lines, like compare Chigai to Savage here who is in the same pose, I think Savage is Mackeral: http://www.secundi.net/critterpage.php?ID=529530

Kadana Sorano · February 21, 2012, 12:33:51 PM

what kind of tabby is Jinx? I think his stripes look like the wider kind, but whats that called? Just "Tabby"?

http://www.secundi.net/critterpage.php?ID=548492

*wasn't aware of differing kinds/names of tabby* lol so now I am curious!

And I have trouble deciding as well, and I also have 5 to choose from lol One possible for the Mackerel Tabby category, and four possibles for the Anything Goes category. And yea, I'll probably do the Anything Goes category in the end rofl such a hard decision!

springacres · February 21, 2012, 12:47:30 PM

Kadana - actually that kind (with the swirly lines) is called classic tabby. (It also is my personal favorite tabby coloration.)

Ryuukokoro · February 21, 2012, 03:22:04 PM

I have a cat in real life with the big thick swirls for his stripes (he's a Maine Coon!), I always thought the big swirls were called the Mackeral and the thin swirls were called Classic, before the Feli were around. ^^;; That's probably why I always get confused!!

There's also spotted tabby, which is when the stripes are broken into spots. My kitten now is a spotted tabby! She adorable. X3

TheLeet · February 21, 2012, 03:43:15 PM

I didn't know what all the different tabby types were called before I started researching cat patterns for the Feli

I mostly used this site for reference:

Kadana Sorano · February 21, 2012, 05:22:20 PM

Cool, thanks! I've narrowed my choices down to 2 now, I can't decide between my Silky and Maiko (the only male I had in the running) lol If I can't make up my mind soon I think I might have to roll a die -.-

Ravvana · February 21, 2012, 08:48:09 PM

Are any of these mackerel tabbies?

And on the first one, is the white okay, or does even a little white make him bicolor?

Ryuukokoro · February 21, 2012, 08:59:06 PM

Rav: Your first two are classic tabby, the last one is mackerel (you can see the classic ones have a particularly thick dark area just above the hind legs, where their 'hips' would be, called a 'bull's eye'. That's what I always look for when trying to tell the two apart)

The white would disqualify the first guy from the group, but he's classic anyway. :3

CutieePiee · February 21, 2012, 08:59:35 PM

If I'm not mistaken, I think only the 3rd one is mackeral.

ETA: What Ryuu, said.

Ravvana · February 21, 2012, 10:04:13 PM

Well, at least I have one mackerel!

So pretty blue-eyed Fog it is.
