Seeking UK’s Most Adventurous Cat
Perfect for venturesome felines!
A nationwide search for Britain’s most adventurous cat is now underway with the launch of the ‘Bobo Awards’.

The eponymous Bobo Awards, launched by Go-Cat, have been established in honour of Bobo – the acrobatic, free-running star of the food producer’s latest TV ad, to celebrate fearless felines that live life to the full.

Go-Cat Brand Manager, Alison Ashman, says: “We’re looking for cats of all ages with bucket loads of cat’itude, who live life to the full and have extraordinary adventures. Whether they’re intrepid explorers, plucky climbers or give the neighbours’ cats a run for their money, we can’t wait to read your stories.”

The closing date for entries to the Go-Cat BOBO Awards is the 7th May 2010 and the winning cat will be announced in June 2010 on the Go-Cat website. Winners could win a trip to the wild safari lands of the Masai Mara in Kenya to see really big adventurous cats in action. There’s also a whole host of runner-up prizes that will keep the most adventurous cat lovers entertained – from a day learning circus skills to an afternoon hovercraft flying.
