Chicago's Top Cat Contest

This is Winter, he is one of the cats that Young at Heart Pet Rescue has here at Best Friends, in the cat sanctuary. We think he is Chicago's coolest cat!

You have all heard the saying "cats are cool, and dogs drool". If you believe your cat is cool then this a contest for you. Sun Times Newspaper has a contest for Chicago's coolest cat. You can submit your cat's picture and a brief description and it will be posted on the website. At a later date they will vote to find out who the coolest cat really is.

The Real Deal

Hi everyone, it's me Toby. Well OK it's my mom, typing for me, but if I could type my commentary would be just as important! By now you all pretty much have gathered I am definitely an only dog, by my choice. Mom says I can be a bit of a snob to others in my house! I was here first, simple as that! That does not mean I do not love every animal out there, just like my Mom and everyone at Best Friends we are equal animal "lovers". Everyone and everything deserves love.
I personally have never met a cow before but I have heard stories of Mom's friend Freeway, a feisty shih tzu, charging at the cows and pigs on Grandma's farm. Geeze, Mom says I am a dog snob, but at least I am smart enough to challenge an animal my own size! All right enough picking on poor Freeway. There is a neat contest going on right now that allows you to pick the next California Happy Cow. It is more of a contest for the kids to go online and do, but thought I would mention it. Hey... I am black and white think I could pass as a Happy Cow? Can you imagine me being a movie star, all right off to my peanut butter rawhides I go. Have fun voting! Not to persuade anyone but Mom and I voted for April!
