There's a war raging right now and you probably don't even realize it. Cats and dogs are competing to take over the internet. Cats took first place, until recently, when dogs have now surged ahead. Whether you are Team Dog or Team Cat, you may have spent at least some of your time online watching one (or more) of the over 4 million cat or dog videos on YouTube alone. Do you watch dog or cat videos online?

One of the newer celebri-pups is Piglet who is both blind and deaf. He's a double dapple Dachshund Chihuahua mix and was born blind and deaf with 37 other puppies in a hoarding situation. When Melissa, a veterinarian from Connecticut, adopted Piglet, she wanted to make sure he "had some bigger meaning," which is why they came up with the Piglet Mindset and the Piglet Mindset Outreach program. Melissa and Piglet visit young children at schools to teach them about overcoming challenges and how to maintain a positive mindset. Have you heard about Piglet before this survey?

How many of these famous cats online do you follow?
Lil Bub -- Runt-of-the-litter Lil Bub started making waves on the web in November of 2011 after photos of her were uploaded to social sites like Tumblr and Reddit. She's a cat with dwarfism so she doesn't look like the average cat. Her short little legs, big friendly eyes and pink tongue that sticks out all times are just some of Bub's adorable characteristics that made the web fall in love with her.

Standing Cat -- A tabby cat named Rocky went viral after a video was uploaded to YouTube featuring him standing upright on his hind legs, seemingly staring out a window for just under a minute. The video is made even more hilarious by the strange music that plays as Rocky tries to hold his balance while his eyes stay hypnotically fixated on something out of view. The original video was uploaded in November of 2009 and has over 7 million views as of August 2019.

Of course, no cat list could be complete without one of the most famous cats ever. Grumpy Cat, whose real name was Tardar Sauce, was known for her permanently "grumpy" facial appearance, which was caused by an underbite and feline dwarfism. At the time of her death, Grumpy Cat had 1.5 million followers on Twitter, 2.4 million on Instagram and 8.5 million on Facebook. It's hard to browse the web these days without seeing at least one picture or video of the most famous internet cat of all-time. Tragically, Grumpy Cat passed away this year from complications of an infection. Did you follow Grumpy Cat?
