Mina - Down Nose
Mina is absolutely delighted to have been crowned the Down Nose for 2023 and would love to take home the title on behalf of all the cats in Ireland. (Too many doggie winners so far! ).
As a cat who doesn't even wear a collar it took a lot of treats to get a photo of her in a sash, but Mina is a very good cat and wanted to put her best face forward for County Down to do everyone proud.
She keeps the house free from spiders, mice and flies and very generously leaves us gifts on the doorstep on a weekly basis.
She knows the price of oil is through the roof so she keeps us warm in the winter by lying on us in bed like a fluffy cat-shaped hot water bottle.
All the neighbours in the village know Mina because of her distinctive features- she definitely has a nose worthy of the title!
All the other entries are so adorable, Mina is pleased to have made it so far in the competition and would like to thank Insta friends and family for all their support. Mina for Nose of Tralee!
