To be eligible for today's prize, you must first answer why would KATKWIZ be giving away such a seemingly strange amount of points? And then you must answer today's question AND tell how you found the answer on The Cat Site from right here in four clicks or less. The reason for this is because the purpose of KATKWIZ is to teach our members how to use the features of The Cat Site so we do not want you googling to find the answer!


Lots of us have dogs as well as cats. Did you know that you could find out information about dogs using The Cat Site? Well, here is today's question:

What country is the breed of dog known as a Basenji come from


I again urge our members to submit answers. I have noted that sometimes as many as a hundred people will look at the question but not answer because they assume the answer already given is correct. It may not be, so submit your own answer because the other day, over a hundred people had looked at the post before we got the right answer!

If you have not played KATKWIZ before, please click on the link below for details.

IT'S AFRICA! I had a female named Keyla (shown as Ilybo Princess). You can find it by going to pet pics and then the thread call introducing....basenji.

Lots of points cuz that's the price of a gift.

1. That's simple - it's the cost to give a gift. Click on vbplaza Menu, vbplaza main, miscellaneous options, and then view under gifts. I'm sure there are other ways of finding it, but I knew where to go to look for it.

2. The basenji originates from Zaire.

Okay, the first answer is 211.66 is the price for purchasing a gift (with tax.) And I got to the dog breed (which is an african breed) from here by first clicking on TheCatSite.Com at the top of the page, then clicked on dog breed at the bottom of that page, then clicked on dog breed in CanineCrib: The Dog Corner, then I clicked on the actual name of the breed of dog

OK, now we all know it costs exactly 211.66 points to buy a gift for somebody.

But, do we have a winner yet?
Perhaps. Perhaps not.
There is lots of time left to submit your answer if you think not.

I think we've had a few winners! I misunderstood the first question, so answered the number of clicks for that. However, we've had people on since that have (I think) correctly answered.

Q:Why would KATKWIZ be giving away such a seemingly strange amount of points? A.The amount of points are the total cost of points to buy a gift for a fellow friend on thecatsite.com.

Tell how you found the answer on The Cat Site from right here in four clicks or less.

OKAY wasnt sure if you wanted 4 clicks or less on how to give a gift, or 4 clicks or less on how to find out about the dog breeds so Im answering both.
To Give Gifts
1.Click VBPlaza Menue.
2. Click Give Gifts
3. Put in Gift, Name of receiver, message
4. Click Purchase

To research dog breeds.
1. Click HOME in top righthand corner.
2. Scroll all the way down to the bottom right hand corner to OUR PARTNERS and click BREEDS.
3.On the left hand side at the top click DOG BREEDS.
4. Scroll down through the list of dogs until you find Basenji. Click the name. It will give you all the information you need about the breed including the origins of Central Africa.


Q:
What country is the breed of dog known as a Basenji come from?

A. Country of Origin: Zaire
History: Basenji-type dogs are depicted on the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs and date back to early 3600 B.C. Many details of their origins are unclear, but the Basenji is thought to have come from a purebred dog used by the Pygmies for hunting in the Congo. The Basenji was imported to England in the 1930's and then made their way to America in 1941.

I replied to this earlier, but it seems to have been lost.

211.66 points have been deposited into your account (let me know if you did not receive them, I was charged for them but something is not working perfect this morning) because you are the winner! You are the only person to answer the question as asked.

You gave exactly the four clicks to get to the answer of where the breed came from and you gave exactly the right answer on the country of origin (Africa is not a country.)

Watch for the next KATKWIZ, it could come at any moment. And remember this:
KATKWIZ will be giving away over FIFTY THOUSAND POINTS between now and the end of the year, so keep coming back!
