The Dewey look-alike contest: We have a winner!
Drumroll, please! After six submissions of absolutely beautiful orange kitties, we've named one the winner in the Dewey look-alike contest.
Kim, my editor, deliberated carefully over the contestants, considering both resemblence to Dewey, the cat made famous in the book, Dewey: The Small-town Library Cat Who Touched the
World, and how each kitty's personality paralleled The Dew's.
The winner of the new Dewey children's book is: Sydney!! Marge's 11-year-old kitty not only looked like Dewey, but his story similarly tugged on a cat-lover's heart-strings. Someone cut off the tips of Syd's ears and a portion of her tail. Congrats to Marge and Syd.
However, because such an overwhelming flurry of sup
port came in for Oscar, the fluffy one who passed away two years ago, his owner is getting a copy of Cats' A.B.C. -- which happens to be about three cats, one of which is named Oscar! Plus, the little guy is pictured sitting on a folded up copy of The Sun -- how could we resist that. Congrats Teri!
Now we wait for the Dewey movie starring Meryl Streep!!....

Sydney thanks you from the bottom of her heart for this great honor. While Syd is a beautiful cat and almost a body-double for the late, great Dewey, her mother will NOT be winning the Meryl Streep look-alike contest, should you hold one when the movie comes out!!!
