BUNNY THUMPER CONTEST

Thank you Lisa my secret pal from SP 11 at Purl This: http://www.purlthis.blogspot.com/ for letting me know about the bunny thumper contest over at: http://kitkatknit.wordpress.com/2008/01/10/bunny-thumper-challenge/ which "involves measuring your cat's "bunny thumper" - from the tip of their longest rear toe to their "heel". Presumably the length of the "sole" if you were insane enough to knit a pair of socks for your cat".
Here is a photo of my Solara's thumper. This is the best I could do. It measures just a bit more than 4.25 inches which really surprises me as she is a tub of lard weighing over 13 pounds. She will be 2 years old March 2 or 3. Now her tail is an entire other story. It is 10.5 inches to the tip and with the bit of hair beyond the tail bone it is a bit over 11 inches. You should have seen her take off when she saw me with the tape measure. LOL
