I have a confession to make, until I saw the submissions to the Crazy Cat Picture of the Week contest, I was a dog person. Now, I am a dog and a cat person. Your photos of cats were compelling,cute, funny, beautiful and honest.

Now, it is time to vote!

Here's how to vote:

There is one vote per person.

If you want to comment and tell us why you cast your vote, please do.

Voting runs through Monday, Oct. 15, at 9am.

This is part of Patch’s Picture of the Week series, where we’re asking you for your best pictures on a certain topic each week.

We’ve added a little incentive. The winning submission will get a $75 gift card to Barnes and Noble, plus bragging rights.

We’ll be taking photo submissions each week from 5:44 a.m. Monday through noon Friday. Voting will begin at 4 a.m. Saturday and end at 9 a.m. Monday, so make sure to check back over the weekend to vote for your favorite picture.

For more information about the rules, please see the rules document attached to the article. If you have any questions, please email margaret.carroll-bergman@patch.com.
