As suspected chosing finalists was not an easy task. If I had this much trouble for the other category I dread selecting the cats and dog finalists… Anyway, you will vote a winner for each category and then the winners of each category will compete against each other for an overall winner. The poll for “Other” category will be open until Friday night. You can tell your friends/colleagues to vote for your favorite but please only vote once, we’re on the honor system here. Cat finalists will be announced Wed.

Who puts that much fabulousness into a liquor store?!
Oh my gosh. It is completely unrecognizable! Look at that ceiling!
Damn! Could be turned into a night club on the weekends.
Dislike. x10000000
What a disgraceful omission of the true coolest pet in DC. It seems like prejudice has won the day, preventing the pet that would be the clear and obvious winner by any objective measure from even competing. Lets recognize that this is no more than a vote for second best. Viva Todd.
Fight intolerance and include Todd!
Agnes
Bear bigots!
Recount for Todd!
Todd is the greatest bear ever! No one denies this!
Agnus. I love the chickeeen!
Dan, you should probably post the images of the pets in the same order as the list in the poll to avoid confusion.
Is it only me or is it odd that POP posted this ‘Other’ pet poll followed by the bbq post? Coincidence? or a disturbed sense of humor at work?
Todd? Where did you go?
Flash !! Flash !! Flash!! Flash!! Super cool and super cool parents too! Flash!!
I’m so proud of you, son! Just making it this far is a huge accomplishment.
Where’s Thornton the boa??? I think any pet that can swallow all the other entrants whole ought to win.
WMATA should thank Calliope for all the positive press she is generating for them.
clads. obvi.
Claudius all the way!!!
who puts a bunny in a cooking utensil?
go claudius !!
Claudius totally kicks butt!
Claudius totally kicks butt!
Auntie Britny, cousins Chloe and Lulu are so proud of you! It is tough to be as cute as you are, but lets be honest cuteness runs in the family!
Agnes!!! All are great though.
Dan, thanks again for running this contest – it’s been a lot of fun. One minor suggestion: to avoid confusion and a repeat of the 2000 Presidential election in Florida, it would be helpful to have the names of the pets to the side of the picture instead of below. Having the name below the picture may cause some confusion about which name to vote for (i.e. some may think the name above the picture is the correct one). It would also be helpful to have the pictures in the same order as the list in the poll. I think the last 8 years are a testament to the terrible consequences that can happen when people get confused by ballot layout. Not that any of these pets are as bad as Bush/Cheney… Thanks again for running the contest!
that bird is kickin that pig’s heiny!
Cladius is the best! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scTj-oMJKPA&feature=related
@Michael. I completely agree. How else could a bird be beating these adorable others?

Glad you’re mom & dad are willing to share your cuteness with the world! Can’t wait for the wedding, “I’m soooooooooooo excited!”
Cladius is clearly the only animal worth its salt lick.
i’m a sucker for guinea pigs. hamsters? cladius is gorgeous. but you’re right, mr. PoP, it’s a hard choice. would have thought agnes would score higher.
Agnus looks like a muppet. Vote for Billie Jean!
@ Anonymous 9:48 Obviously the bird is winning because how can you resist a pet that rides transit? And uses a SmarTrip card, no less? Go Calliope!
Cladius is a real dreamboat… you should vote for him!
Oh no, I voted for Pat Buchanan! Dangling chads! Recount! Re-recount! Re-re-recount!
Where is my buddy Todd?
I vote the boa constrictor gets to eat the winner!
parrots suck
I heard Cladius is planning a victory party in Jamaica

Claudius is a swell fellow, and a lot nicer than his nephew, Caligula.
Boo! This voting is messed up. Agnes should be winning! Feel the ‘tude from that bird.
I voted for Agnes. Callipoe’s owners must have a lot of Facebook friends.
The Heights Life endorsed Cladius the guinea pig!

the piglet is catching up but the parrot is still on top!

Cladius! Cladius! Cladius! Cladius!
@Ellie – great photo. but it looks like cladius’ owners might have more facebook friends than Callipoe
LOVE LOVE billie jean
cladius!
Calliope: 1779. a great year for our fledgling country. Cladius: 1622. a year of tyranny and smallpox. Claudius = smallpox? yes.
Cladius was ROBBED! ROBBED I SAY!
ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony…..what a perfect pig….our vote goes to CLADIUS!!!!!!!!
