It’s not just the people that are trying to get your votes this year! Dogs and cats are duking it out to find out who really is better!

Each “candidate” has their own platform and visitors to the sites may cast their vote and watch how the nationwide election unfolds in the blue (dog) and red (cat) states. The Web sites also allow guests to upload their own videos of their pets, as well as view the top ten reasons to vote dog or cat, and read humorous dog/cat centric stories. Visitors may also send a link to a fellow dog or cat lover. The sites were created to facilitate consumer dialogue; the dynamic will be largely user-generated, meant to give voters a real voice in this election. Pet owners have the right to vote and speak their mind! Visitors can participate via the blog or by uploading a video.

“We believe Americans should have a choice and the ability to vote cat or vote dog clearly provides that,” said Michael Bollinger, a Smith Brothers partner and Director of Client Services. “Dog and cat fanciers need to stand up and get the vote out in support of their favorite companion,” he added.

The dog platform is all about hope; change, a clear new path. Oh, and squeaky toys. Dog’s high priorities are: a fire hydrant on every corner; disability for working dogs; additional belly rubs; abolishing the leash laws; tax breaks for Frisbee manufacturers; equal treats for equal tricks; and expanded car rides.

The cat platform sees a future bright with promise; opportunities and nice big balls of yarn. Cat’s high priorities are: turning Gitmo into kitty condos; universal, affordable veterinarian care; legalizing catnip; no scratching post left behind; outlawing startlingly loud noises; funding for hairball research; changing the national anthem to ‘Honky Cat’ and longer naps.
