Vote for the Coolest Pet in PoPville
After a contentious battle the three finalists have been selected. Voting for the overall winner will be open until Wed., 11:59 pm. I know there was some question as to voting irregularities. So I’m gonna keep a close watch over this poll. Should obvious irregularities emerge the finalist will be disqualified. Of course you can have friends and family vote but no programming votes. All the pets this year brought lots of joy to lots of people so thanks for entering. Good luck to the finalists. Let’s keep the vote honest!
Dr. Dre
Ike
Calliope

Make it stop - who wrote the listing description for that house? What the hell does it...
There’s only one way to settle this: a battle royale between the pets.
Bet you’re all wishing you had opposable thumbs NOW!
even though he beat out my little Charlie, Dr Dre is by far the coolest pet in popville!
Before I vote for Dr. Dre, can I have confirmation that he is kept in a house/apt at least 1000 sf in size? Can I also have confirmation his man-sized turds are always picked up?
DRE! DRE! DRE!
Ike says bring it on! Thumbs rule.
Check out Ike’s other photos and a video at http://thumbcat.blogspot.com
Also at People Pets: http://www.peoplepets.com/photos/cute/two-thumbs-up-for-ike-the-cat/1
Ike is the friendliest cat ever. If he wins, you’re all invited over to meet him. He’d love that.
lobbying for your own pet is somehow unseemly.
I think it’s alright when your cat is a blogger.
It’s the cat people vs. the dog people!! Come on cat people!
I’m not a cat or dog person but Ike has a thumb. Who can compete with that?
Normally I’m a cat person, but I voted for the bird. C’mon, who can resist an animal that rides transit?
All I can say is that, on the one hand, Dre looks like the spokesdog for that luxury vehicle you definitely want to be seen in while Calliope is a spokesbird for the city bus. If coolness is your factor for best pet, this contest has a paws-down winner.
By the way, apropos of nothing, I just saw a guy panhandling with a lampshade on his head rolling down the center of FL Ave near GA Ave.
We like Ike!!!
This one dimensional cyberspace reunion falls short.
It’s not enough. These really cool finalists are pet neighbors deserving of better.
A real life reunion of all three together with their owners at Grant Circle (pictured above) for a couple hours on a Sunday afternoon every summer with subsequent on line voting could be a cool gathering of Petworth neighbors
-perhaps some bringing their good semi finalists like Oz, Lumpy, Winston, Oreo, and ferocious Oliver.
Just a thought, Prince.
Sodomize the cat
Come on cat lovers – unite for Ike!
that cat is fucking awesome. it has THUMBS. nothing tops that im sorry.
a cat with THUMBS? that’s bananas. and great. YES IKE.
Dre all the way!
How ’bout Matt Dunn doing a free Photo Shoot of the Finalists – He can call it “TOUGH Pets”
Sorry, the cat is lame. It’s being held in posed position by the photographer’s hand, for god’s sake.

That’s not true. He was sitting on my lap. I did put the fork in his paw, which he then gripped with his thumb and started biting. This was right before he started attacking the fork. My hand is simply petting his neck because well – he’s really soft.
For further proof of his gripping prowess, visit: http://www.peoplepets.com/photos/cute/two-thumbs-up-for-ike-the-cat/1
I don’t know either pet or owner, but posting photos would appear to be a violation of rules. The cat appears cute and holding a fork is a cute pet trick. Cute is not the equivalent of cool, however. The dog possesses the studied nonchalance, the “sprezzatura” that is the essence of cool.
CATS RULE. Birds can fly. Those other things? Not even good fertilizer.
IKE WINS!!! And deservedly so.
