Welcome to Grey Tabbyz!

The Grey Tabbyz Pose Show is pretty straightforward. You may have seen pose showz on other Petz sites, and the GT show is basically the same thing.

We do have rules, though:

  1. Catz Only - no dogz, no bunnyz, and no catz hexed to look like other animals, please.
  2. Show poses only - This is the pose show, after all. For non-showpose entries, go to the other showz.
  3. No editing the picture - No matter how skillfully you may think you edit it, I will be able to tell. This is just cheating.
  4. If your cat places, please use a different picture if you enter the same cat in a show again. - This only applies to the pose show, you may use a pose show placing picture in the Story Show, or a Gallery show placing picture in the pose show, etc.
  5. Enter as many Catz as you like! - No, really. Enter your whole kennel if you feel like it!
  6. Please put the show number in the subject of the email. - This is a new one, but it would make my life a great deal easier if the subject of your entry mail was something like 'Pose Show 4'.

The Point System:
Best in show = 5 show points
1st place = 4 show points
2nd place = 3 show points
3rd place = 2 show points
Honourable Mention = 1 show point

It's very easy to enter the pose show - all you have to do is send me an e-mail including the following information (things in red are optional):

  1. Your name or handle:
  2. Your Catz' show name:
  3. Your Catz' call name:
  4. Your e-mail address:
  5. Your website URL:
  6. Your website name:

Don't forget to attach the pose picture to the e-mail! In .gif, .bmp, or .jpg format ONLY please, or I won't be able to open it, and please do not embed it in the body of the e-mail; actually attach it.
Also - a new rule - please please please put 'Pose Show 4', or 3, or 11, or whatever the show number is, in the subject of your email! It would make my life SO much easier. Thanks!

Now, if you've made it all the way down here and you still have a question, your question is probably about 'What's a showpose?' Am I right?
There are several Catz sites where you can find information on show posing. Here's my, rather briefer, explanation, courtesy of the wonderful Thursday's Child (although the pic is my own):

Show pose example, Fezbit

Cat's body should be in profile, with the head facing front.
Front legs as in line as possible (perfect will have only one showing), and back legs as far apart as possible.
Cat can be facing either direction.
Eyes should be wide or partially lidded, but never closed. Angry or scared is okay but not as good as neutral.
Eyelids should be as even as possible.
Head should be facing the camera directly, held high and proud.
Cat should be looking at the camera.
Tail should be slightly curved inward or straight (with the exception of Alley cats and Alley mixes, who have kinked tails all the time).
