Wowmypetdidthat receives certificates of excellence

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Wowmypetdidthat.com is happy to announce that we recently received two Certificates of Excellence from the Cat Writers’ Association for entries in the 2019 Communication Contest.

Our first entry was in the L. 4 Cartoon Category. Our entry was the Cat-urday Night Fever Dancing Cat gif.

Here’s feedback from the category judges:

Really enjoyed this one and it did make me laugh. Keeps the interest utilizing bright colors and comical characters. Great use of special effects. Very entertaining!”

“Toughest category of all! I’m way too “wordy” to be able to convey a thought in cartoon style and admire anyone who can!”

Our second entry and certificate received was for L.6 Illustration Series.

We entered the Paper Doll Cat Care Kit.

Free cat care and fashion paper doll kit

 

From the judges: “A really creative and fun way to teach kids the basics of cat care.”

We want to extend our sincerest thanks to the judges for taking the time to look at and provide feedback not just for our entries, but for all the many entries in all of the contest categories.

We’d also like to thank:

CWA President Deb Barnes, for working so hard to bring the contest and awards ceremony (which was online for the first time this year) to all entrants and Cat Writer’s Association members.
