New Year's Eve...

Here it is... New Year's Eve... the end of EC101's first full year as a website! We've decided to piece together some highlights from the year as a reminder of everything we did.

January...
We posted our second "Which Cat Breed are You Most Like?" quiz! If you haven't taken it yet, do so by clicking here!

March...
Our contest was a huge success! Site viewers were challenged to come up with creative newspaper headlines/captions for a photo we posted on the contests page. And in...

April...
We had a vote among our viewers, and the winner of the contest was Maroonie=)'s submission of "It's a bird! It's a plane! It's SUPERCAT!" To see the runners up, check out the Contests page.

June...
We announced our challenge to come up with reasons why cats rule (shouldn't be too hard ;D) and posted it on the contests page. It's not really a contest because it never ends, so if you've got a reason to submit--it's never too late to do so!

July...
We celebrated summer with spotlights on certain cat breeds, polls, crafts, fun facts, photos, and even some charitable giving! Our MAKE A DIFFERENCE contest was a great success, and in...

August...
We held a bake sale to raise extra funds. By the end of the contest in...

September...
We ended up donating $106.75 to the Snow Leopard Trust! Thanks again for all of your help and support!

October...
We made a neat National Cat Day animation and posted lots of Halloween-related things.

December...
As the year comes to an end, we'd like to thank all of our viewers for supporting our site. We couldn't have done any of this without you.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy Holidays!

It's time to get into the holiday spirit! Here are some cute photos of our cats that are holiday-themed. If you have some photos of your cats that you'd like to share, feel free to email them to everythingcat101@gmail.com and let us know if we can post them!

And the snowcat...

How to make the snowcat:
1. Roll a medium-sized ball of snow to be the body. Roll a smaller one and place it on top to be the head.
2. Make two small snowballs and put them in front of the cat to make two paws. Make a snake-shape out of the snow and put it behind the cat to be a tail.
3. It's time to decorate! Snowcat's face can be made with all-natural materials...
     -We used two blueberries for the eyes and nose, but you could use small pebbles instead.
     -A little forked stick makes a great mouth!
     -Pine needles are cute whiskers.
     -We used half of square-shaped crackers for ears, but there are some triangular crackers that would probably work as well.
     -And finally, we used a long blade of grass around the neck to be a collar.

Have a purr-fect holiday season, cat lovers! Check back soon for a collection of the year's highlights posted on this page.

Ho Ho Ho...
