Longest Sustained Crash--a "crash" being when they are washing
and suddenly stop, with one leg high in the air, and freeze.
Like a computer crash!

Mouse throwing - cat holds mouse's tail between his/her teeth, turns
in a circle 3 times gathering speed and then lets the mouse
go.........the cat whose mouse land furthest away wins (and gets to
eat all the other contestants mice).

I have long dreamed of a cat showing up during gymnastics to demonstrate
how things should be done. Clifford (RB) did have something of a balance
beam routine, in which he'd go upstairs hanging from the underside of
the banister railing. When he became aware of someone watching, he would
turn and give what we could only describe as the Demented Mary Lou
Retton Grin.
He did do high bar routines in the closet. I know of no Olympic gymnast
that would walk on that bar between flips.

A scored event (like ice dancing or rythmic gymnastics)
interrupting your human for treats. Points given for:
how fast you can get your human to stop whatever s/he is doing to give
you treats
degree of difficulty/irritation factor of manouver (knocking potted
plants off of shelf - 7; causing entire shelf to rip out of the wall - 10)
more points awarded if you can get treats *and* skritches
disqualified if you are shut out of the room/house with no treats.
Kibble hockey: individual and as a team sport

Oh yes, like "dog trials" but where the cat herds the hoomin to go get the
food and empty it into their dish. Style and speed all count. There can be
single and team categories.
And of course, loudest sustained yowl.

How about vocal variety? Some cats have a more varied vocabulary than
others.

Waffles would take the gold for ratting...
Francis would take the gold for purring (volume, duration & whisker
vibration)
Marble would take the gold for cat of small brain.

How about hide and you seek? We seem to have some world class hiding cats
here. Only none of them would bother to leave their hiding places for end
of game or medal presentation.

Some people already know of this, but for those who don't-there is
already an Olympic event for cats-The Silly Sleeping Pose Olympics.

BTW-congrats to London on the Olympics! From what I understand, the
English would be well served by getting advice from the folks who put
on the Olympics in Sydney. I understand the Aussies were recognized by
everyone as doing a superb job.

Hi,
I think we already have some Aussies in the bid team. I know Cathy Freeman
was one of the athletes in the London team backing the bid! We also had some
Aussies as senior advisors who had worked on the Sydney bid.

The Hundred Foot Zoom -- time trials rather than heats, because
even the cats wouldn't know when it's going to happen.
Pinballing -- shortest time to bounce off every piece of
furniture in the room.
The Human Trampoline Event -- points for the loudest grunts and
most air expelled upon landing and take-off.
The Under-sofa Crawl -- non-aquatic swimming event.

that.

Both Teti and his father are well trained wheelbarrow cats, i.e. they run on
their forefeet while I hold (and gently push) the hind legs. What about a 20
yds race? Points both for time and style, not falling over and so on... If
you don't believe it, it's true. When Loomis (Teti's father) was just a
kitten, I started to teach him this. He enjoys it so much, that even now,
when he is living with my ex-wife, he demands that she continues to walk
with him this way.
It always ends with the cat rolling over on his back and starting a
friendly, little fight... Cats have got a lot of humor, that's for sure!
