Why am I a top contributor in cats, but not on the top 10 list, but I am not a top contributor in birds, BUT I am on the top ten list?

Because you are number 5 in zoology, God bless you. Keep up the good work and become number one!!!
You see I am number 4 in zoology with 261 and number 8 in ecology with a little over 100 and number 6 in botany with around 90. But zoology does not appear on my profile, only ecology and botany, my most recent activities past two or three months. It goes back and counts only in my opinion the last 100 or 200 best answers you got, what you've been working on recently in the past couple months; not all the work you've been doing since you first started.

The more you answer in a particular category, and the more Best Answers you get (not the percentage) the more likely you are to get a "top contributor" badge next to your name, up to 3 categories. Levels, and points have nothing to do with it. I have it for answering in Yahoo 360 and Yahoo Answers categories, neither of which am I on the leaderboard, but I have been answering alot of questions in these categories recently. I do lead the category DIY and I do not have "top contributor" for that category, but I haven't answered much in that one for a while.
Here's the link to the latest blog entry from the A-Team explaining, in a little more detail, "Top Contributors".

Can't tell you the answer to your question, except yahoo answers is probably a little slow. You are definitely a top contributor in birds to me, don't know about cats. I'm a bird lover too, just don't know a lot about them. Don't really care much for cats though.
