Yay! Neatorama’s weekly Caption Monkey game is here! Caption this cute photo of a swimming cat and you can win a Free Monkey (or any other animal) Drawing by Ape Lad of Hobotopia.

Contest rules are simple: one caption per comment, you can submit as many as you can think of. You can also vote for your favorites (but please not your own).

The funniest caption will win a free monkey drawing: you name the monkey (or other animal) and Ape Lad will draw it for you. If you don’t win, you can still get one directly from Ape Lad for a nominal fee (it’s worth it – the pic is very cool).

Want to learn more about Mary Scribe’s swimming cats? The Register-Guard has the story: Link – via Cute Overload

Update 9/13/07 – Neatorama reader Nick shared this picture of his cat Lucy who also can swim (no training, just instinct) – Thanks Nick!

Update 9/14/07: Congrats to Tom #60 with the subtle yet very funny caption:

“The single web search result that has caused the most disappointment for male browsers age 15 to 24.â€Â

    There’s a lady who’s sure all that glitters is gold
    And she’s buying a stairway to heaven
    And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
    With a word she can get what she came for

    Woe oh oh oh oh oh
    And she’s buying a stairway to heaven

    There’s a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
    And you know sometimes words have two meanings
    In a tree by the brook there’s a songbird who sings
    Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

    Woe oh oh oh oh oh
    And she’s buying a stairway to heaven

    There’s a feeling I get when I look to the west
    And my spirit is crying for leaving
    In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
    And the voices of those who stand looking

    Woe oh oh oh oh oh
    And she’s buying a stairway to heaven

    And it’s whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
    Then the piper will lead us to reason
    And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
    And the forest will echo with laughter

    And it makes me wonder

    If there’s a bustle in your hedgerow
    Don’t be alarmed now
    It’s just a spring clean for the May Queen

    Yes there are two paths you can go by
    but in the long run
    There’s still time to change the road you’re on

    Your head is humming and it won’t go in case you don’t know
    The piper’s calling you to join him
    Dear lady can’t you hear the wind blow and did you know
    Your stairway lies on the whispering wind

    And as we wind on down the road
    Our shadows taller than our soul
    There walks a lady we all know
    Who shines white light and wants to show
    How everything still turns to gold
    And if you listen very hard
    The tune will come to you at last
    When all are one and one is all
    To be a rock and not to roll
    Woe oh oh oh oh oh
    And she’s buying a stairway to heaven

    There’s a lady who’s sure all that glitters is gold
    And she’s buying a stairway to heaven
    And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
    With a word she can get what she came for

    And she’s buying a stairway to heaven, uh uh uh.
