Dogs or Cats? That is the Question.

Cats on the Cover

A while back, DogEvalshad an ongoing ‘thing’ about dogs and cats: which one  appeared more often in just-regular magazines. And, of course, dogs won!

Dogs vs Cats or Cats vs Dogs

I picked up an old Real Simple (May 2016 [couldn’t find the cover online so here is the 2018 May cover, sans cat])

magazine for 10 cents at a flea market recently and noticed beaucoup dogs in the pages, then I saw the “Cat on the Cover”! (First things first, of course.)

Results

So, DogEvalsdecided to revive the competition and here are the results:
