Get bragging rights for your pet with Cute Fight

My dog Charlie is The Cutest Dog. He’s sassy and scrappy at the same time. He hates getting wet and loves to be cuddled, but he’ll dig a hole six feet underground and rip cardboard to shreds. …What’s that you say? Your pet is cute, too? Let’s take this to the internet — with Cute Fight.

Cute Fight is the creation of Derek Powazek, who some of you may remember from this post on Offbeat Home & Life, and some of you may have read about in the Offbeat Bride book. Here’s the scoop:

Cute-Fight is an online game you play with your real life pets. Members become “managers” and create profiles for their pets (aka “fighters”) and then challenge others to a Cute-Fight. The winners of these fights are determined by the community vote. Winners get special trophies and everyone has a good time.

Give your pet a nickname, a special move (Charlie’s is “The Bed-Takeover), and rally the troops to vote via Twitter to ensure that he or she comes out on top. Don’t worry if your pup/cat/lizard/bird/etc. loses a Cute Fight, though: the consolation prizes are just as cute as the winners’ trophies. So what are you waiting for? Make a profile and meet Charlie in the arena!
