Are we a nation of "Cat People" or "Dog People?" Join America's Pet Debate! Help Purina® Help U.S. Veterans!

Back when Zee & Zoey were conducting their Cat Ruler of the World Contest there was some barking going on about dogs. Who likes 'em, who doesn't and who just loves animals? From what I noticed in the comments, folks had LOTS to say!



Well Cat People, now you can make your voices heard!

HOT OFF  THE PRESS! I was just sent information from my friends at Purina and they want YOUR help to end the age-old debate as to who is better? CATS Or DOGS? Check out the info that I just received!


Purina® is calling all pet owners and lovers to join in the “America’s Pet Debate.” From now until Nov. 8, you can vote for your favorite pet at www.americaspetdebate.com once a day. Purina will proudly declare whether America is a cat or dog nation on Nov. 9, 2012.

For every vote, Purina will donate $1, up to $100,000, to Pet Partners’ Veteran Programs. The donation will help fund Pet Partners pet therapy teams for U.S. veterans by providing the mental, physical and emotional support of cats and dogs through animal-assisted therapy. There are more than 22.7 million veterans in America today. The current national vote tally is 54% for Team Cat and 45% for Team Dog with a total of 47,923 votes.

You can also join the conversation about America’s Pet Debate on Facebook.com/americaspetdebate.com, Twitter (@petdebate), Instagram and Pinterest using hashtags #VoteCat, #VoteDog and #PetDebate.

Now get out there and vote!

  1. Hi Caren and Cody,
    Not sure how this would work for us in Britain. However, the proceeds go to a cause that is dear to our hearts on a worldwide basis.
    I have forwarded your posting via social network sites and I hope that helps.
    Of course, I know who I would vote for. Arf! Arf! :)
    Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet star! xx

    @Maggie "cats are where it's at!!"

    @spitty I wish but I have serious doubts about that!
