Wow! We never expected the nose-rubbing enthusiasm for this new feature that allows members of the Catster community to vote for their favorite cat pages. We’ve had a ton of votes already! This is so cool. Isn’t it such a fun way to view the cats?

We have made a few changes to the feature since we launched it a week ago in ‘beta’ mode. We have changed the scale from a 1 to 10 scale to 1 to 5 paws. The main reason for this is that we want to emphasize that you are not rating the cat but the cat’s page (i.e. photos, favorite nap spots, arrival story, biographical information). We want to know what entries are the most compelling, the most fun and the most interesting. We want to encourage the cutest pix, the most riveting arrival stories and the best cat personalities in the cat diaries. If we were rating the cats themselves, it would be pointlessÔǪ all cats on Catster are perfect tens! Meow!
