Are You Addicted To The World’s Coolest Contest?

We are completely addicited to voting in the World’s Coolest Dog & Cat Show. It is amazing how many fun photos have been submitted. I wonder if we’ll get to 1,000,000 cast votes! That would be stunning. It may seem like there is too much compitition, but with 30 categories, I’d say everything is still up for grabs.

Finalists will be chosen by their average vote, so it’s not a popularlity contest but by the top five entries that average out closest to a 5. So it’s not too late to enter and take home some loot! And since each vote goes towards your final average each vote you cast really matters.

We are so blown away by how much fun it is voting! We don’t even have a clue who is going to make it to the next round yet. It’s just too soon to know! So get in the contest and get your friends and pet pack to vote for you. We want to make sure everyone gets in on the prizes!

Once the finalists are chosen our judges will be picking the winner in each category, but the Best In Show of both dogs and cats will be determined by you! So staaaaaaaaaay tuned!

Super Secret Show Sneak Preview

Oh boy are we barking double mad about this one. We have just quietly launched The World’s Coolest Dog & Cat Show which is a free online photo contest open to all cats (and dogs). The categories are truly crazy and the prizes are unbelievable. And you get to vote on all photos in all categories. The top five vote getters in each of the 30 categories will be voted on by our official judges. Though the Best in Show for dogs and cats will be determined by you!

Entry and voting begins now and will last until November 17th.

We just made this public right now for the first time so there are almost no entries yet. Check it out, enter when you are ready and contact us at show@dogster.com and let us know what you think.

Since you’re our best doggies we thought we’d give you a sneak peak before we publicaly announce this.

NYC Area Kitty Call for WNBC News

Hello kitties!

WNBC’s ”Today in New York” show is doing a story about Catster and Dogster that will air this Friday morning and hey would still like to do an interview with a Catster user. They will come to your home and film you using Catster, playing with your cats, etc. while asking you questions about the site. So far they have been very nice and professional.

The catch is they need someone who could be at home Monday or Tuesday, maybe Wednesday) probably during the day.

If you are available, use Catster a lot and would like to be on the news, email us at ted@catster.com and give us the URL of your cat’s/cats’ page(s) on Catster.

Pass the meow on to your NYC Catster.

Tail waves!
