But does this mean I should cancel the ears contest? I mean it's all in good fun...I don't want to hold a contest where we get like, 5 votes max and everyone else is against it.

Micki, That's how I would feel too. But I don't feel bad voting for pets. Like, I know it's a game...people who take it WAY to seriously really shouldn't be taking part in it. If they're going to hold a grudge against me because I didn't vote for them, or start crying because they didn't win, well that's just a bit far...what's gonna happen now?
