Raining cats and dogs

A big, massive thanks to everyone (all 426 of you) for your participation in this week's Rain Day-themed EPIC Caturday Challenge! This was our single biggest challenge in this dedicated space (yet), and I greatly appreciate having all of you be a part of that impressive milestone. I very much enjoyed and was even deeply moved at many times by all of your individual takes on this challenge premise. I admire all of your hard effort, great talent, and tremendous artistic visions in crafting your pieces, and I hope you all valued seeing each other's fine work as much as I did. We shall return in less than 24 hours with an all new feline-centric challenge--same cat time, same cat channel!

Challenge results, in case anyone may be interested:
