The votes have been verified and counted, and I can now reveal that there is a tie for the choice of Boots’ new collar:
I know that the above chart shows the St George’s Cross to be the winner. However, I took this screen shot before I set the poll to “one vote per computer”, when the only way I could view the results was to vote for a second time. So, if we remove the illegal surplus ballot paper that I cast, we have a tie between Crystal Palace and the St George’s cross.
The solution, it seems, is to provide Boots with a supply of each but, in the time that has elapsed between researching the available collars and conducting the poll, there are no more St George’s cross cat collars available in the UK.
There are plenty of dog collars. However, they don’t have the safety mechanism required should the cat end up in a fix. (And Boots is a gadder-about, so he would really, really need this.)
So, for now, here is the large sod in his new, personalised Crystal Palace collar:
I think it might be a bit big (ahem), so Boots’ mamma plans to display this one rather than have him wear it (although it could work as a belt?).
And it’s back to the drawing board to find a properly-fitting collar for Boots …
