You should have closed it when cats were winning. This last vote for dogs happened clearly with time expired.
Yep, even if one wins that says nothing since they aren't mutually exclusive. In fact one of my favourite kinds of stories/pictures are the dog+cat ones since they are just cute. Example: http://abcnews.go.com/Lifestyle/siberian-huskies-adopt-cat-best-friend-pack/story?id=36407385
Not Cat and Dog, but this is another cute picture I've posted elsewhere but think I have to post here as well:
My cat has died this morning. It was 16 and a half. He was an ugly, misanthropic beast, but he loved me in his own way, and I loved him too. Farewell, my friend.
Man. That really sucks. Sorry bro. I hate it when that happens. After 16 years like your pet, losing it is like losing a kid!
