How did you come into your owner’s life? They had to say goodbye to their 20 year old cat a few months before and they needed love in their lives.
What makes you the most pawtastic pet ever? My loving, fun and friendly nature. I’m the best companion and I always make my human smile, even through the sad times.
Why did you decide to enter the Nose of Tralee? We just thought it would be a lot of fun and a good way to celebrate the relationship we have together.
How did you prepare for the contest and get votes? We set up a new Instagram account, advertised on all our local community social media groups and we messaged everyone we knew every single day and some we didn’t know. We also put up posters and handed out leaflets with a bar code. And we got an article on us in the local newspaper.
What did you enjoy most about the Nose of Tralee? Meeting other contestants, being a little bit famous and but mostly creating lots of new memories together.
What advice would you give to the next Nose of your County? Have everything ready before hand especially your social media accounts and just have fun!
How are you handling your newfound fame? With dignity! Ha ha
If you could be any superhero who would you be? The flash .. as Zoomies are a special gift I have!
