The Modesto Bee has opened voting for its cutest cat contest in Stanislaus County. Readers were invited to submit photos and information about their cats, and now the public can vote for their favorites.
“Rally your friends, family and fellow cat lovers to help your favorite kitty climb to the top,” The Modesto Bee stated.
Only four cats will make it to the final round before one is named the winner. The champion will be featured in a story on ModBee.com.
Voting is open to all and there is no limit on how many times someone can vote. Voters can refresh the page to cast additional votes. The first round of voting closes at 11:59 p.m. on Monday, October 20. The second round begins Thursday, October 23, and ends Monday, October 27. The winner will be announced on Monday, November 3.
The contest is part of a larger initiative taking place at more than 20 McClatchy newspapers nationwide. Winners from each local contest will advance to a national competition for the title of Cutest Cat and Cutest Dog in the country, starting Monday, November 10.
The poll is intended as a lighthearted activity rather than a scientific survey.
