CATS

we all love to have them in our lives!

and to show them to people to. and see them. here is your chance! make your cat (or not) compete with others and look at other people's cats

CATS THAT ARE ACCEPTED:

- your cat

-your mum's cat

- anyone's cat really

- meme cats if they are real

- actor cats

- any other cat that have lived at any point of time

CATS THAT ARE NOT ACCEPTED

-fictional. there is a bracket for them already

EDIT: - imaginary cats. sorry guys not real enough

the final number of cats depends on the number of submissions. you can submit a cat several times but seeing as this bracket will have many cats with just one sub from their owner I decided to choose them based only on me liking them. don't worry I like a lot of cats.

CATS THAT ARE AUTOMATICALLY INCLUDED because I am biased

- miette

- a stray I befriended (once I manage to choose just one of them)

submit your cat here!

EDIT 3: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't use instagram links or link sharing services. they either don't open for me at all or will all expire by the time this form closes. either use a different link or straight up dm the pics to me. except imgur imgur is fine. just in general check if it's long-term

forms will be open until 7th of April 16:00 (4 pm) UTC

EDIT 2 gogdammit I am forgetful: multiple submissions are allowed. you can also submit your cats as a duo/trio/etc if they truly are a duo/trio/etc or For A Bit but only if it's a really funny one

I am not banning cheating because honestly cheating over a silly cat bracket made to see more kitties is insanely funny

BUT. don't harass other people. this is unacceptable behavior. we are all here to have fun and be silly

and remember! every cat is a good cat :)

tagging for exposure and also because they inspired me: @best-fictional-cat (!!) @aroaceswagcompetition @artificialkids-2k23-official @orangecharactersmackdown @macbeth-murder-match @heterochromiasmackdown @bunnyrabbitbracket @divine-swag-summit @homoeroticbetrayal (!!) @blorbopoll (miette is here sweeping guys)

FORMS ARE CLOSED

wow jeez that was a long time. i am typing this a little earlier because phone keyboards are evil and I'll probs be a bit busy but rn i have 682 submissions (haha lizards)

i did not expect this bracket to get big. i thought i will have like a hundred submissions will choose some funny cats and have a classic 64 bracket. well i got somewhere around 250 subs in one day. and as i’ve been reading your descriptions of your cats in the first hours i realized just how important they are to you. i can’t leave any cat out. 

THEREFORE

ALL REAL CATS (sorry milton i don’t have proof that you existed) WILL ENTER THE BRACKET

yes all 600+. some of you guessed this already but i had to ignore you all

here’s how this will work. right now i am going through cat submissions. i write down every cat. i check every link. i work on descriptions

by work btw i mean that i edit “I” and “my” to “submitter” and “their”. it feels wrong to cut out anything you wanted to say about your cats. which btw means that there will be mentions of cats that already has died and the description will explicitly say that they did. they will be tagged with de/ath ment tw

of course i take more liberty with famous cats. and also any cat submitted more than once cuz just because i allowed it doesn’t mean i won’t be poking fun at it

 this is all done for two reasons. first, i will have the cats easily accessible and that will allow me to make polls faster. second, i will get the exact number of cats and they all will get their own number.

after i will have that exact number i will start making polls. we will have 16 brackets with approximately 32 cats each. there will have to be 3-ways in the first rounds that i will evenly distribute between all the brackets. basically we will just have 16 small tournaments separately

AND THEN i will take all the winners and put them in the final, seventeenth bracket. 

which cat will go in which bracket will be decided by a number generator so that the cats that has been entered the first day and literally today will have equal chances to get shown earlier. because that’s still the main point. show cats look at cats

please remember that harrassing others is not the way to go. if i catch you doing that i’ll ban you

[irlcats-bracket]

absolutely nothing. a certain confusion is like enrichment. there are two chloes out of five in the bracket right now. they can do whatever they want

[irlcats-bracket]

now when the first round almost ended some tricky situations emerged. in this bracket we support democracy therefore the desicion will be made based on the choice of the masses

QUESTION

how close should the votes be to be considered a tie?

[irlcats-bracket]

IT'S CAT PERCEIVAL TIME

in an hour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[irlcats-bracket]

LESS THAN AN HOUR UNTIL THE FORMS CLOSE

hurry up and submit the cats you wanna show!!

[irlcats-bracket]

HOW SHOULD THE POLLS FOR OUR FIRST BRACKET BE POSTED

[irlcats-bracket]

when my cats bracket starts, how would i go about sending catpaganda? do i dm you or reblog after the first round and then u show my rb if theres a round two? or smth else?

okay so that depends on when are you doing it. if you send me your propaganda before I roll out your cat's poll for I add everything you sent to the post

if you send me the ask after the poll is out I post it immediately (or well more like when I see it) so that voters could be swayed when it matters.

if you reblog the poll to add propaganda I reblog your propaganda when I see it.

you don't need to wait until the end of poll round. in fact it's better not to!! propaganda is encouraged to be posted early to maximize its effect!

and of course if your cat passes to the next round I gather all of it's propaganda from various sources and add it to the next poll.

[irlcats-bracket]

when does the cat voting start?

probably this weekend my dude. i am almost done with sorting

[irlcats-bracket]

tumblr tragically lied to me about the fate of the third poll so ig you guys will get two polls at once this time. i'll go change the shedule so that all the others will be posted once per hour

sorry for the confusion

[irlcats-bracket]

Regarding questions about cats getting in

i got several simular questions about this.

guys. i can't actually tell you that. i can check if your links work and if i got the submission but i get new forms every day! i haven't even decided on final number of cats!

i skim through forms a lot casually when i feel like looking at cats and that's how i find some broken links but i literally can't tell if your cat gets in. i don't know.

if i misled you in some of my answers i apologise. the only decided cats are still miette and a stray i befriended, no one else.

i will not tell you if your cat gets in, sorr, but please don't ask me that anymore

[irlcats-bracket]

FORMS ARE CLOSING SOON

16:00/4 am utc!!

before closing I will make another cat check and I kinda said it will be the last one but nah. if you guys still will want to check I will still check

[irlcats-bracket]

Regarding links

i wil update the pinned post as well but  well when i said i will accept all the links i was wrong

PLEASE DM ME YOUR CATS IF YOU LINKED THEM VIA

1. instagram. i don’t have an account and it’s blocked in my country and i really don’t want to spend hours on trying to access them or finding the person who can resend them for me it’s just not worth it

2. short-term link sharing services. these links only work two days and i can’t keep up with every single form i don’t have THAT much free time and some of them are already broken as i type this. EDIT: i have no idea what kind are actually considered short-term except that linksharing.samsungcloud is and imgur isn’t so please check that before sending. i am not going to reject cats based on having broken pictures but you will get a crude drawing instead and while my drawings are wonderful you might want to show your cat’s beauty in full. or maybe not idk.

[irlcats-bracket]

do you want a physical description of the cat or to describe their personality? (or both)

personality mostly! smth like "stinky man" will also suffice but i really will need physical description only if you don't provide the picture

[irlcats-bracket]

is it cheating for the cat reference picture to be a collage of a few pictures? to really highlight their complexity

no idea but to be funny let's say yes although cheating is allowed so does it really matter?
