So many polecats, so little time
 Moving forward with the caption challenge, we've got a "pole cat" on our hands. The word "polecat" is a many-splendored term that can refer to many things: a relative of weasels or skunks, an early '80s rockabilly band, an unmanned aerial vehicle, a lady of the evening and a standard barbershop song. If that list isn't long enough, here's one more definition to add to the stack.Larry Richardson of Booneville, Arkansas, sent in this I-Report photo of Vampire the nearly saber-toothed cat sitting atop a pole and looking down on the fiefdom below him. Chased up there by a feisty rat terrier going by the alias of "Pete," our furry friend stayed up there for six hours. Keep in mind that Richardson says the cat weighs about 20 pounds and is 7 years old. Plus, this daytime sojourn took place during broad daylight. The midmorning hours aren't exactly prime time for vampires.  After seeing and reading about this cat's tenacity, Warp CNN readers responded with an assortment of creative caption ideas. There were some vampire puns, a reference to geocaching and comparisons of the cat to birds. In the end, it was tough, but we narrowed it down to our favorites from Gary, John G., "Anonymous" and a person we'll refer to as "Anonymous Number Two." We can only hope the anonymous contributors aren't the same person, or an actual "anonymous number two," for that matter.Now it's your turn to vote on which caption you think is the funniest. Make your pick and show us who's got the best line about a cat on a stick. 4 Comments

To quote Bruno Kirby in "Good Morning, Vietnam": "Sir, in my heart, I know I'm funny."
What happened to the traditional "This post is sufficient"?
CNN has inadvertantly stumbled accross one of the fastest growing internet subcultures with this story.
"Anonymous" is guaranteed to show up any time there is a funny cat picture posted online. Anonymous loves cats. "Anonymous" is a name proudly used by the legion of internet anarchists from 4Chan and similar communities. Word of caution though: Anonymous is not nice. Anonymous does not forgive. But thankfully anonymous loves cats, especially on Caturday (the day after Friday).
