Is the United States a cat nation or a dog nation?
That age-old debate may be settled in a vote sponsored by St. Louis-based Purina.
Through Nov. 8, 2012, pet owners may choose to become a member of Team Cat or Team Dog at www.AmericasPetDebate.com or www.Facebook.com/AmericasPetDebate and stay up to date on the competition at the Pawlitical Blog http://www.americaspetdebate.com/blog. For each vote cast, Purina will donate $1, up to $100,000, to Pet Partners, a Bellevue, Wash., nonprofit group that provides animal-assisted therapy to military veterans.
Participants unsure about their vote may take a brief quiz to determine whether they’re with Team Cat or Team Dog.
The American Pet Products Association’s 2011-2012 Pet Owners Survey appeared to show more love for dogs than cats, with canines in 46.3 million households and felines in 38.9 million households.
You can guess where I stand: Dogs Rule. Cats Drool.
I love my dog. I miss you jazzy!!!
