Jackie,

Yes, I've noticed the same thing myself. Many times it's
not unusual for COTD to get 20+ postings, while DOTD is
lucky to get 7 or 8 posts & congrats to the dog.

I don't know why that is.I have both a dog & cats and love
reading about both in each forum. I just love all of them and
always try to offer my congrats & comments on both.
