The counter initializes the variable to 0, and next it increments one by one:

{% load counter_tag %}
{% for pet in pets %}
    {% if pet.is_cat %}
        {% counter cats %}
    {% else %}
        {% counter dogs %}
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}
# cats: {{cats}}
# dogs: {{dogs}}

from django import template

register = template.Library()

@register.tag(name='counter')
def do_counter(parser, token):
    try:
        tag_name, args = token.contents.split(None, 1)
    except ValueError:
        raise template.TemplateSyntaxError("'counter' node requires a variable name.")
    return CounterNode(args)

class CounterNode(template.Node):

    def render(self, context):
        try:
            var = template.resolve_variable(self.varname, context)
        except:
            var = 0
        deep = len(context.dicts)-1
        context.dicts[deep][self.varname] = var+1
        return ''
