Any pet lovers out there?

[LoveMyCali]

I could use a little help, my cat Cali is in the running for Nestles pet of the month but is currently behind in votes to a couple of dogs (adding insult to injury)

If anyone gets a chance, please vote for him

3. voted but it didn't look like it registered the vote...

GORGEOUS cat, by the way.

[LoveMyCali]

5. Thank you

both for your vote and for the compliment. :) And may I add, Cali completely agrees with you.

[zanne]

4. I voted for Cali!

If she doesn't win, demand a recount.

[LoveMyCali]

6. I definitely think that Trio is a ringer

and I'm not entirely sure about Fitch either. lol

[zonkers]

9. Thanks for the support

Cali is gaining on second place. :woohoo:

[Rhiannon12866]

10. He's nailed it! LOL!

99 votes!!!:wow: DU came in for Cali, as they did for Keith Olbermann...:woohoo:

He overtook the little bulldog, his chief competitor! I really believe that they should have had separate categories for cats and dogs. I want to vote for all of them, so this at least gives me two votes... But I voted for Cali, The World's Most Patriotic Cat, and I'll re-post that, if you want me to...:evilgrin:

Rhiannon:hi::pals:

on edit: And now you have seen what DU is really like. They even helped you with the link. They are the most helpful and compassionate people that you will ever know...:-)

[LoveMyCali]

11. Cali passed the bulldog

but he's still chasing Trio. Come on, a cat chasing a dog should be good for a couple of votes.

BTW, for those who don't know, Rhiannon is calling Cali a patriotic cat because I adopted him after his original owner who is a marine was deployed to Iraq. Cali has cerainly sacrificed for his country. :patriot:

[Rhiannon12866]

32. I posted his patriotic entry, LOL. Please vote for my friend's cat...

From now on, he has to rely on his regal cat stature, which should serve him well, IMO. He is a very handsome cat, and everyone here will sympathize that his owner was deployed to Iraq, but will celebrate his amazing good fortune that he managed to find you...:toast::bounce:

Rhiannon:hi::hug:

[driver8]

12. No way! I'm not voting so a cat can pull ahead of the dogs...

Dogs Rule!!

[LoveMyCali]

13. Hey, I'm a big fan of dogs too

but Cali is just so darn handsome! And aren't we supposed to rebuff all things French? We can't let a French bull dog get the better of my patriotic cat!

[Arugula Latte]

25. You have good taste in 80s music -- but your animal priorities are skewed!

Take it back! Take it back!

Kitties rule and dogs drool!

So sez I...

:D

[driver8]

31. Dogs Rule and kitties...uhm...hmmm...

well, kitties do something!! :hi:

[Arugula Latte]

44. Yeah, they purr and look cute and feel soft and don't bark!

:hi:

[invitro-man]

14. Named cali but isn't a calico.

Man, what I disappointment. :p

Make that 107 votes.

[LoveMyCali]

15. Thanks for the vote

and Cali is short for California. Don't blame me, he was already 2 years old when I got him. I usually call him Cali Baba (and the 40 fleas). It doesn't sound so effeminate that way.

[MountainLaurel]

38. I have a Cali too

An orange tabby whose full name is California Sunset. She was 7 years old when I adopted her, so there was no changing the name at that point. However, I do alter the spelling sometimes because my husband can't see the name without thinking of the Colombian drug cartel.

[LoveMyCali]

40. She's beauutiful!

One of the problems I have with my cat being named Cali is that it is really girly sounding and he has kind of a girly meow so everyone always thinks he's a she.

[Lisa0825]

22. Welcome to DU!

:pals:

[peacebuzzard]

16. Yes. voted for your baby....

Looks like our DU kitty is winning!!!

[LoveMyCali]

17. Not yet ...

but he's in there fighting. It's been back and forth with Fitch for two days now and the votes for Trio are finally slowing down. Unfortunately they don't have different categories for cats and dogs, Cali is blowing the competition away as far as cats go.

[LoveMyCali]

18. Aaaagh!

Still behind Trio by FIFTY votes. No one is 50 votes better than my boy.

[Lisa0825]

19. KICK!!!!

Showin' Cali some looooooove!!!!! :loveya:

[elocs]

20. I voted and mine registered. Good luck. n/m

[kerry-is-my-prez]

21. Sorry - I'm already voting for the dog that's running against Kath Harris

It's a very cute golden retriever.

[Rhiannon12866]

26. Come on!

A Golden is much cuter than those two, yikes!, but Cali deserves your vote. His owner was deployed to Iraq, so this lovely cat became homeless! My friend adopted him. Please vote for the world's most patriotic cat!!!





Please vote for Cali!!! And his rescuer is my friend. Thanks...

Rhiannon:pals:

[LoveMyCali]

23. I know

that it's odd that I really care if he wins or not, especially since there really isn't any prize except he would be pictured on the main page of their web site, but I really do want him to win.

How can you resist this poor little kitty trying to stand his ground against those mean 'ole dogs.

[Arugula Latte]

24. Ain't gonna let no stinkin' DOG beat Cali!

:woohoo:

But did you guys see that first kitty, Bagheera? Holy Crap! That is an amazingly colored cat! Spots galore!

[LoveMyCali]

27. That's the spirit Oregonian!

I do agree though that Bagheera is a very cool looking animal, almost as good looking as Cali. :-)

[ganeshji]

28. Cali was at 119

after I voted a minute ago.

[Rhiannon12866]

29. I told you that Cali would be a big hit here!

DUers are huge friends of animals, but that doesn't mean that there aren't a few disagreements...:D

As long as a few more of us on DU vote for Cali, my friend.

Rhiannon:hug:

[LoveMyCali]

30. You know that I always take you at your word

my friend. :pals:

If only I had used your patriotic tact in his blurb instead of saying he is sweet ... :banghead:

[Rhiannon12866]

33. Hey, was I right, or not?! Cali is definitely popular here!

DUers love animals, especially cats. And we are no exceptions. I knew that you'd be glad if you posted Cali here. He's quite exceptional,. definitely worthy of our votes... I would have posted Cali, if you didn't. And you may even get few more votes..:D

BTW, did you notice my sig pic? It appears that someone did me a kindness while I was at the vet's. I'm quite happy with this, though I adopted all of my pets from rescue, mostly older animalas.... And I love both of my little guys...:loveya:

Rhiannon:pals:

[LoveMyCali]

34. For some reason

I haven't been able to see your sig pic today, I just get a box with a red x in it. You know how flukey my computer can be, hopefully tomorrow all will be well with it.

You should love your little guys, they have a very high cute quotient even if the two of them together don't weigh as much as Cali.

[Rhiannon12866]

36. I wondered if it was okay, since it was changed, but it's okay here...

It now switches from one little guy to the other, and they both wink at you, LOL. That was what was waiting for me when I returned from the vet.:loveya:

And Cali can't possibly weigh that much! Meneken is holding at 7.75 lbs., while Jack has gained a little, weighs 9.2!!!:wow:

[LoveMyCali]

41. i probably shouldn't discuss weight problems

but my still growing boy weighs 18.8 pounds.

[LoveMyCali]

35. OK Cat fans

... and I know you're out there. We need another push, Fitch the french bulldog just went up by one vote again.

[Rhiannon12866]

37. Cali is up to 126!!! But he's still behind the two dogs...

The dog from Hong Kong has 183...:crazy:

[Lisa0825]

39. time to clear my cookies and vote again!:-)

:kick: for a :patriot: kitty!

[Rhiannon12866]

45. Hey! I thought that we were the ones who were honest about voting!

I knew that there was a reason that I meant to crank up my computer as soon as I got home, and now I remember, LOL.:evilgrin:

on edit: This makes 136 for Cali, tied with the bulldog... but the dog from Hong Kong is still in the lead...:-(

[LoveMyCali]

46. You mean

there is a way to do this without physically getting up at work and running around the building using other people's computers. (I only did this once, I swear)

[ceile]

42. Done!

He's right behind Fitch and Trio.

[Ohio Joe]

43. Done - Good Luck - nt

[Lisa0825]

47. :kick:
