We would make a contest to be just one vote per cat, but it's Zeus' contest and if he wants to count all those votes, he gets to make the rules. <BR/><BR/>When we left the polls this evening, after leaving another THIRTY votes (with reasons) for Skeezix, it was up to 339. For us, it was a lot of fun to try to come up with DIFFERENT reasons for voting in each comment posting. It really forced us to be creative, which is not one of our strengths.<BR/><BR/>We just hope all of us kitties will remain friends after this fierce competition.<BR/><BR/>~J&BJake and Bathshebahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06969341067459085303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861097998399076304.post-47479194569985525412007-02-28T17:18:00.000-08:002007-02-28T17:18:00.000-08:00I voted once, but I don't think my vote counted be...I voted once, but I don't think my vote counted because I forgot to add my reason why! <BR/><BR/>All this thinking is making me sleepy.Luxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15503176171948984599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861097998399076304.post-83092669459586649282007-02-28T16:47:00.000-08:002007-02-28T16:47:00.000-08:00I think you should be able to vote all you want, b...I think you should be able to vote all you want, but it still has to be a secret vote. <BR/><BR/>So many of the kitties in the contest are furiends.

But we agree that whoever runs the contest can make up their own rules. (To be fair, we think 1 cat (or human), 1 vote is the way to go when Chey has her presidential voting.) Skeez is a great guy and has done a lot for the blogosphere so he'll probably win in landslide.

And...I have been thinking and thinking about this. And I have concluded that, as long as it is part of the rules for the contest, there is nothing wrong with voting as often as you wish. Every cat has the same opportunity to stuff the ballot! Besides, nothing could stop my fuzzy fingers from voting as much as I can for Skeezie. I think if I had a contest, I would limit it to one vote per cat. But, since the girls' litterbox contest allowed unlimited voting, then it is only fair to allow the same for the boys, in this case. Anyway, that's just my opinion.... I could be wrong.Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00412703583921658038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861097998399076304.post-6033412406213385732007-02-28T08:44:00.000-08:002007-02-28T08:44:00.000-08:00You must have just missed my update!

I have to say though, it is discouraging if you know only the most popular cats will win but Meowmy says that is pretty much like high school so its kind of a fact of life. But all of the entries are great cats so whoever wins certainly deserves the title! <BR/><BR/>LatteLZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18395326253362300647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861097998399076304.post-22758963463598748992007-02-28T05:52:00.000-08:002007-02-28T05:52:00.000-08:00We figgers it's Zeus' game so he can make the rool...We figgers it's Zeus' game so he can make the rools.
