Meow-za! That's more than half!
I wish I had been keeping an accurate record from the start. I also wish that I would have kept track of dogs appearing illustration. I would love to know definitively which is more common in Caldecott award winning illustrations, dogs or cats.
The world just doesn't have enough dog vs. cat competitions.
As a cat-person who now owns a very sweet dog, I feel conflicted about which team I would cheer for.
However my gut says cats rule the Caldecotts.
