Catstacked: Samson
Catstacker: Tami
Whatstacked: Baby toys
We love to see all these repeat stackers coming in! Today we have a stack by Samson. Though the addition of a baby to his family has left little time on the schedule for stackery, he has managed to work in a teetering pile of baby distractors. As you can see it’s incredibly hard work stacking AND avoiding the baby. Still, Samson remains ever alert and energized for the task at hand. Thanks Tami and Samson!
Catstacked: Mr. Boo
Catstackers: Corinna and Cara
Whatstacked: Toys
Mr. Boo, repeat World Champion stacker, is back today showing off by stacking a load of toys! While it may be difficult to notice for the casual observer, Mr. Boo’s eyes are filled with the raw glint of pure concentration that only extreme catstackery can bring. We notice these things at catstackers.com and applaud heartily. Corinna notes that Mr. Boo is currently being employeed as “the official transport system for all household toys” in order to earn his keep. Thanks, Corinna, Cara and Mr. Boo!
Catstacked: Miles
Catstacker: Angelie
Whatstacked: Mouse Collection
Miles and his stacking assistant Angelie have come through this week with a new stack for you to peruse! Miles has quite handily stacked his collection of mouse buddies. He’s even managed to open his eyes for a few seconds: impressive! And difficult! If those were real mice we can only imagine that Miles wouldn’t be as sedate. Angelie has also sent us a bonus stack! Her story for this picture is: “My brother came down for the weekend and while we were visiting my parents, he joined in on the stacking experience. He stacked my parent’s neighbor’s cat who was in the yard begging for anyone’s attention.” He certainly got some attention, didn’t he? Thanks Angelie, Miles and catstacking vict- I mean, friend.
Catstacked: Embla
Catstacker: Klaartje
Whatstacked: table mats and wooden spoons
This is Embla’s first stack! She is 2 months old and the new sister of Ask, who has been featured on Catstackers before. I don’t know what it is they put in Dutch kitties’ milk, but they sure are cute! Embla looks like she has taken to catstackery with an enthusiastic snarl: pep and energy are definitely something we like to see cats bringing to their stacks! Embla looks like she is training hard to keep up with her brother. Thanks Embla and Klaartje!
PS: Read about the origin of the cats’ names here!
Catstacked: Houdini
Catstacker: Sheree-Joy
Whatstacked: Office DVDs, candle, clock, small chest, photo frame
Houdini is back with some new tricks for you this week! Does he plan on making like his namesake to escape from this potentially crushing pile of endtablenilia? No! He’s sitting strong, at peace under a world-class bit of catstackery! His focus is so intense that it appears his eyes may be closing just a wee bit. Owner Sheree-Joy notes that Houdini really does like relaxing while watching The Office. Thanks guys!
Catstacked: Boomer
Catstacker: Admin and daughter of Admin
Whatstacked: CD case, pencil case, stuffed animals
Today we have a two-fer stack from Boomer! In the first of these stacks he is delicately balancing a CD case and a pencil case. This stack was completed by my 7 year-old and was miraculously sturdy enough to remain upright for 4 pictures. The second stack is a rare stomach stack. Boomer doesn’t like stuff being stacked on his stomach at all, but if he’s sacked out enough and the stacking material is unobtrusive enough he does a really nice job!
Catstacked: Tinky
Catstacker: Joanna
Whatstacked: Spookie
Food-stackee Tinky is back today and she’s been stacked with…her friend Spookie! Cats stacked on cats is a particularly difficult stack, unless the cats help you out a bit and get comfy during the process. Tinky and Spookie look like they’re enjoying a little respite from the rigorous world of competitive catstackery. Everyone needs a bit of summer vacation! Thanks Joanna, Tinky and Spookie!
Alright, you have spoken (thanks for your help) and we have a winner for the Food Stacking Contest! Both entries were bastions of edible catstackery, and despite some of your opinions, I think they were very close! But, in the end, there can only be one winner. Dash has claimed Supreme First Champion of Edible Catstackery with Tinkerbell coming in close behind! Thanks to cats and owners for submitting their stacks.
Catstacked: Dash
Catstackers: Bryan and Susan
Whatstacked: a package of bacon, bacon chocolate bar, bacon sunflower seeds, bacon caramel corn, bacon band-aids, bacon mints, bacon soap, a bacon magnet, and St. Anthony – the patron saint of bacon.
Susan added, “While this stack may not be very tall, it was difficult because the bacon was cold and very jiggly whereas Dash was warm and his fat is very jiggly as well. He actually purred when the stack was complete.”
Catstacked: Tinkerbell
Catstacker: Joanna
Whatstacked: helmet, hamburger, peanuts, and twizzlers
Joana wrote, “Tinky is an avid baseball fan, after all it is American’s favorite past time. She enjoys watching the game from the back of the couch with her eyes closed.”
And, of course, Boomer has to get in on the action. He was disgusted that he couldn’t enter the contest, but I told him, “It doesn’t matter. You’re still a cat.” and he went back to sleep.
Catstacked: Chewy
Catstacker: Mike
Whatstacked: Three remotes, one glasses case, one set of keys, and one “Die Hard With a Vengeance”
This morning we’ve got Chewy, stacked by Mike. Chewy isn’t Mike’s cat, but he saw a window of opportunity while visiting a friend and improvised a very nice stack! Chewy looks calm and at peace with his new vocation as a bonafide catstackathelete. Remember, if you don’t have your own cat, there are many cats in the world out there just waiting for you to come by and stack them. They love it! Don’t leave them in the darkness! Thanks Chewy and Mike!
Catstacked: Arty
Catstacker: Nate
Whatstacked: Phone
Little kitten Arty has been stacked with a cellphone! He is easily the youngest and quite possibly the cutest stack we have ever had. Of course, there’s not a lot of surface area there to work with, but Arty has managed! Nate says that Arty is “getting a taste of a long life of stacking to come.” We sure hope so! Thanks Arty and Nate!
