No, this is not a rival competition. Although, given that all cats are meant to be working towards feline domination of the world, perhaps it should be (unlike other world domination plans, we feel we don't have to keep ours a secret. It's going to happen whether or not you know about it, obviously). However, being the creature of refinement that I am, I am enjoying playing your little word game. I have caught up with all previous words and used this week's, as you can see.
I appreciate that I have no House, and thus cannot win, as it is a house points competition. All I ask is that my entries are marked and considered fairly. If you would deem them to have won, had I been eligible, just let me know, for my own personal catisfaction.
I have deemed this worthy of its own thread, rather than replying to this week's topic, as it applies to the word of the week as a general concept. And because I am a cat and thus your superior.
