Sorry Kitties

Hi everyone, Katie here.

I'm sorry to tell you that "Katie Is...ACCUSED" will not be winning any of the cool prizes or awards in The Friskies competition. No golden kitty, no fame and fortune, just a few cans of Fancy Feast.  Now hold on...don't go all crazypants. We have something much more important. We have YOU.

We want to thank all of our wonderful friends for voting & sharing & laughing with us.  We do this stuff for fun and we do it for all of you to enjoy. And for that we feel like winners.

Out of respect for the other entrants, we ask that you please keep this news to yourselves and not share it on Facebook or Twitter until after the awards show later today.  It was really important to Glogirly and I though, that you hear it from us first. 

Even though we had lots and lots of votes & love, the judges went another way.

I think they were probably lost and didn't bother to stop and ask for directions. 

But the good news is I'm out of the slammer now. 

Exonerated of all charges. I just might keep these handcuffs. 

Allie says if I add a little bling, they'll make very stylish fashion accessories.

Saturday Photohunt *KITE*

WAFFLES:  Um, Boss?  How come you tole me to go fly a kite?

KATIE:  Waffles, if you have to ask...

WAFFLES: Um, everyone? The Boss wants me to say thank you for all of your votes and shares and posts and support of "Katie Is...ACCUSED," the cat video I wasn't in.

KATIE:  Waffles, the cast needed SOMEONE to make the Catbucks runs.

WAFFLES:  But, I thought--

KATIE:   That's the trouble, Waffles. Just don't think. It makes my head hurt.  Ok, continue.

WAFFLES:  Ok, um. So thank you everyone for all your--

KATIE:   Waffles, you already said that.

WAFFLES:  Um, sorry Boss. Alls we have to do now is wait for The Friskies judge people to figure out who the winners are. And cross our paws and stuff.

KATIE:  The winners are being announced at a special event in Los Angeles next Wednesday, November 14 at 2:30pm PST.

WAFFLES:  Um, Boss?  I can't feel my arms. How long do I have to cross my paws?

KATIE:  Waffles, if you have to ask...




Today's Saturday Photohunt theme is *KITE.*  Wanna play? Just go to The Saturday Photohunt Blog. But you probably shouldn't ask Waffles for directions.

Exclusive Behind-the-Scenes Closing Statement

Hi everyone, Katie here.

It's the home stretch for "Katie Is...ACCUSED" in the frenzied race for Purina's 'The Friskies' Best New Internet Cat Video of 2012. Voting closes today, Friday November 9 at 12:00 noon, EST.  If there's anyone on the planet you know hasn't voted yet...human, feline, even CANINE... as long as they have an email, it's time to strong-paw them!

Today, most appropriately, we are going behind-the-scenes with my only lead attorney, the Stunning Counselor Cathy Keisha.

KATIE:  Ms. Keisha, what was your favorite part of the video?

CK:  The parts with me in it, of course.

KATIE:   Of course.

CK:  TW loves Gloman's voice but who cares what TW loves.

KATIE:  Yeah well, TW has never heard Gloman rip into the TV ads and losing football team here. I'm pretty sure I'm suffering from permanent nerve damage.

CK: The plot. The plot holds the viewer's interest, IMSO.



KATIE:  What are the other animals in your house saying about the video?

CK:  All the stuffies around here are my political enemies so they're jealous and said they won't vote for it. There are gonna be a lot of stuffies going down the chute today unless they change their minds.

KATIE:  Never trust a stuffie.  Ok, Ms. Keisha, the $15,000 question...Guilty or Innocent?

CK:  Who you looking to blame for this? I'm innocent due to my not being guilty. Oh, you're talking about Katie.

KATIE:  *sigh*

CK:   I'm KATIE'S LAWYER! Of course she's innocent.

KATIE:   *phew* Ok Ms. Keisha, any final thoughts?

CK:  I'd like to make a closing statement to the jury. This case has dragged on long enough. I'd like to ax you to ignore all the lies you're heard from the Prostitutor--Whatta you mean, objection? Sit down you liar?--and his witnesses.

Did any of you see any spit on that shoelace? I didn't think so and IF THERE IS NO SPIT, YOU MUST ACQUIT.

Now look at my client. The innocent look, the pleading little kitten eyes, and ax yourself if she could've done what she's been excused of. On the other hand, look at Gloman. A grown man, who doesn't know enough not to leave his sneakers all over the floor. He's got a cat, a sweet, innocent little cat and yet he entraps her cos he knows that a cat is going to be curious. No jury of cats can find her guilty of BEING A CAT!!

I find Gloman guilty of negligence and breaking Cat Rule #97 as put forth by Sparkle Cat: "Anything left on the floor any length of time whatsoever is considered property of the cat, and the cat can use it for any purpose deemed appropriate."

Katie broke no rules and must be released NOW. Thank you.

________________________________________________________________________________

Thank you everybuddy for all of your votes, shares, shameless pulgs and support.
We love you SO much and the joy you bring to us is better than any award, EVER.

Voting is closed and now we wait with paws joined and crossed.

Behind-the-Scenes with Zoey & Twix, Jurors #5 & #9

Hi everyone, Katie here.

Can you believe it? Only 2 more days until The Friskies voting comes to an end. And only 2 more days to go behind the scenes with the cast of "Katie Is...ACCUSED." Today we're zeroing in on Jurors #5 and #9, Twix & Zoey.

You may not know Twix, a.k.a. Juror #5, but I bet you know about his famous Cat Balls!  NO, not THAT kind of balls! Twix's human is the creator of Jennas Red Rhino's Cat Ballsl!

Our second guest is Zoey, the beautiful bengal serving as Juror #9. Most of you will recognize her from The Chronicles of Zee & Zoey.  ...they're the ones that hosted the Cat Ruler of the World contest!

KATIE:  Twix I'd like to start with you.

TWIX:

KATIE:  Twix??  TWIX!!!

TWIX:  *muffled mew*

KATIE:  Twix, if you're ready to join us...we'd all love to know your favorite part of my video, "Katie Is...ACCUSED."

TWIX:  Oh, sorry. I was busy cat balling. My favorite part? Well I love the sound in your video!






KATIE:  Your kidding, right?  That piano dribble that Glogirly made up?  She can't even tell me what key it's in. If her piano teacher sees this video, she'll have some splainin' to do.

TWIX:  I also got a chuckle out of the newspaper headlines. "IF THERE IS NO SPIT, YOU MUST ACQUIT."

KATIE:  Gloman says those were HIS idea. But we all know they were MINE.  Ok, Twix...the $15,000 question:  Guilty or Innocent:

TWIX:  I feel the trailer is suggesting that the DOG got Katie framed...just sayin'.  Ok, gotta get back to my Cat Ball.

KATIE:  So Miss Zoey, thanks for being here. What was YOUR favorite part of "Katie Is...ACCUSED"?

ZOEY:  Well Katie, I must say I was quite partial to the fashionable tie that Cathy Keisha was wearing in your signature pink color. Being the diva that I am, I feel a properly accessorized feline is essential to one's image and I even thought your silver cuffs were quite becoming.

KATIE:  *tilts head, pats wrist with paw*

ZOEY:  That being said, I am quite disappointed that whoever created this video did not find it necessary to stylize me to the hilt while I was in the jury box, on camera. I wasn't even given a tiara...

KATIE:  *whispers under breath*  DIVA??? Well THAT's an understatement.

ZOEY:  I'm sure it was an oversight made by that inept charming assistant of yours, Waffles, and I hope if I am in another one of your law breaking escapades (which is bound to happen, given your prior propensity to breaking the law), that this glaring oversight does not happen again.

KATIE:  So Zoey, if you're done talking about yourself, how about you tell us what the other cats of Zee & Zoey are saying about the video.

ZOEY:  Truth be told, they are saying nothing. To this day, I don't think Zee even realized he was part of your Real Housecat Series, as he napped through the whole episode and we do not allow the kittens to watch videos, especially those that are FG rated (Feline Glorified.) I would prefer to be the star in our house.

KATIE: Ok, I'm almost afraid to ask. Guilty or Innocent?

ZOEY:  Why guilty, of course.

KATIE:  Of COURSE???

ZOEY:  What sensible cat could possibly resist pulling and chewing a good shoelace?  Oh dear, wait a minute, that came out wrong.

*gasps, meows, howls echo throughout the townhouse studio*

ZOEY:  Everyone, please calm down - let me rephrase. Why innocent, of course. On the grounds that it is engrained in the very nature of our feline being to pull and chew shoelaces. Cats cannot help themselves and therefore, KATIE IS INNOCENT. I rest my case - can we please go home now and nap? I need to polish my jewels.

Behind-the-Scenes With Juror #12, Allie

Hi everyone, Katie here.

Wow... the response to Juror #10's Q&A (Jemma The Chihuahua) was...well, extreme. All the cats are standing in behind me in solidarity, while the dogs are acting like...well, DOGS.


Today we're behind-the-scenes with the glamour kitty from A Tonk's Tail, Allie. Allie represents the feminine and well-mannered side of the Tonk's trio of cats. I'm certain her brothers Maxwell and Faraday, anxiously waiting in the wings, will have a few words for us as well.


KATIE:  So Allie. Nice nails. Love the pink.

ALLIE:  *tilts head, looks up to the side*

KATIE:  Allie, what was your favorite part of my video, "Katie Is...ACCUSED?"

ALLIE:  My favorite part?  Well, personally... *pats coif* I think the jury's simply STUNNING.

FaRADay:  *gagging noise*

MAXWELL:  *fascinated look* uh, Katie...those handcuffs. I can open any door, and drawer. I'll bet I can open those too *hoists lawn clippers*

FaRADay:  *unintelligible screech*

MAXWELL:  Dood. Girls don't usually do cool things like chew on shoelaces, so we think she's innocent.

KATIE:  Well I guess innocent trumps cool. Still, I like to think of myself as one-cool-kitty.  So, Allie? About those pink nails...

Only a few days left to get all your friends, family, and the neighborhood dogs to VOTE for "Katie Is...ACCUSED!" The polls close Friday, Nov 9 @ 11:59pm EST.

Get Out And VOTE

Hi everyone, Katie here.

Today comes but once every four years here in the US. Glogirly takes a walk to the local elementary school, looks at the construction paper cutouts of kids' hands on the wall, and the tiny little classroom chairs. She waits in line with friends, neighbors, and strangers to check the little boxes. She's thankful for living in this great country and prays those little boxes make a difference.

"Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves and the only way they could do this is by not voting."

-Franklin D. Roosevelt

_________________________________________________________________________________

Those of you who are kind enough to come and visit me day after day know there's another VOTE going on.  For the past two weeks, Glogirly's been asking total strangers to vote for our video, "Katie Is...ACCUSED."  Out of LOTS and LOTS of total strangers, only one grumpy elevator man looked at her like she was nuts. Everyone else- the grocery store guy, the post office lady, the car repair guy, the cashier at Target, even the Delta Airlines check in agent (and they're almost ALWAYS grumpy) were happy to help. They all promised to watch and vote. They all smiled big and wished us luck.

So as your human is standing in line to cast their vote in the presidential election, how about they ask just one person to watch and vote for Katie. All they need to remember is TheFriskies.com and Katie Is...Accused.  Click HERE for a small reminder card you can print! This is just the kind of thing that can turn strangers into friends.

Behind-the-Scenes with Jemma the CHIHUAHUA?

Hi everyone, Katie here.

Who IS Juror #10??? Enquiring minds WANT to know. Enquiring minds NEED to know. Today we are going behind-the-scenes of "Katie Is...ACCUSED" with Juror #10, a.k.a. Jemma the ...wait for it...CHIHUAHUA.  Yes, that's right. A dog. A BLOGGING dog.

So much for a jury of my peers.

I don't know how she EVER made it through the Jury selection process. I'm certain the prosecution was slipping catnip under the table when this ringer was seated in chair #10. Well I've got news for you, Jemma. We know who you are, we know where you live, and given your relative size and weight....well, the rest of the jurors just might confuse you with a bag of tasty Temptations.

But today I'm putting aside my personal feelings (and better judgement) to bring you an exclusive Q&A with Jemma. The Chihuahua. Joining Jemma is Tofu the cat, her brother and better half. heh heh.

KATIE:  Welcome Jemma and Tofu. Thank you for joining us today. Jemma, I'd like to start with you. As long as you don't bark or yap. Jemma, what was YOUR favorite part of the video, "Katie Is...ACCUSED?"

JEMMA:  My favorite part of the video? Of course it's that Judge Lily is a doggy and that the jury panel has a doggy too...me!  Our presence is needed to keep the courtroom impartial.

KATIE:  Great. I think I'd rather have you just bark and yap. Impartial??? Whatever.

KATIE:  Tofu, certainly you must have something more insightful to share with us.

TOFU:  Katie, there is CLEARLY some jury bias in the jury panel (*meow* Jemma *meow*) and a new panel should be selected ASAP for Katie's (your) sake.

KATIE:  Tofu, I couldn't agree more.

TOFU:  AND, my sister Jemma is not the biggest fan of cats...

KATIE:  I KNEW it!  That's it...where's my legal team??? I'm smelling a mistrial.

TOFU:  I'm not naming names, but it might have something do to with the fact that SOMEdoggy taunts SOMEkitty in this household ALL the time, just to provoke her.

KATIE:  You heard it here first, kitties! Juror #10 is anything BUT impartial. She's a kitty-taunter!

JEMMA:  Uh, Katie?  Isn't this interview supposed to be with ME?

KATIE:  So Tofu, the $15,000.00 question....Guilty or Innocent?

TOFU:  Despite what my sister Jemma, I mean Juror #10, says...Cats are ALWAYS innocent and everyone knows it.

KATIE:  Thank you Tofu, I really appreciate you be-

JEMMA:  Not so fast. Guilty or Innocent?  Not sure yet. I need to examine the evidence first. A good sniffing will tell me whether there's any cat paw scent on the shoelace.

KATIE:  Hmmph. Someone thinks she's a regular CSI.

Kitties, please visit our friends Tofu and ...what's-her-name... at their blog, Jemma the Long-Haired Chihuahua & Tofu the Cat.  Jemma is even featuring us today! Just tell them Katie, the ACCUSED, sent you.

Behind The Scenes With Clooney, a.k.a. Juror #3

Hi everyone, Katie here.

We're going back behind-the-scenes today with another great cast member of The Friskies-nominated "Katie Is...ACCUSED."  Meet Juror #3, Clooney, a.k.a. George Clooney of Clooney's Num-Num Fund.



KATIE:  Thanks for being here today, Clooney.  With a name like George Clooney, you're certainly no stranger to the limelight! What are your favorite scenes from the video?

CLOONEY:  Katie, I like all the stills of you being lazy before that Island Cop gets there.  I must say the scene with Police Cat Wally was fun (sorry) wo that is my #1 FAV.  I also like the scene with Katie and CK outside the court.

KATIE: How about Neytiri?  She must find it challenging sharing a house with such a celebrity cat.






CLOONEY:  Neytiri thought that Katie's mugshots were pretty and that she made a glamorous jailbird (her FAV scene.) Neytiri's ears went out of whack with the phycho music near the end of the video...so nice touch.

KATIE:  Ok, Clooney, the $15,000.00 question... Guilty or Innocent?

CLOONEY:  We BOTH KNOW that Katie is INNOCENT!

Copycat

Hi everyone, Katie here.

All it took was a couple of comments yesterday about Glogirly's apparent memory lapse over the holiday du jour...and then THIS happened.

One pair of furry black cat ears, a black eye crayon and six whiskers later... Halloween portrait time.  You can see the full portrait in all it's glory on our Facebook Page.

At least she didn't take Mr. Black of The Kittini Boys' suggestion and make me wear HER ears. Well, she actually DID photoshop human ears on me, but it was so creepy looking we both had to look away.  Still...

Help me.

Hi everyone, Katie here.

Sheesh. Miss a little holiday and the whole blogosphere goes wild. We (translation: Glogirly) got busy and we (translation: Glogirly) somehow missed the fact that today is October 31.

And NOW look what you've done. She's wearing MY ears. Do you SEE what I have to live with???
There had better be little trickery and lots of treatery tonight.

Behind-The-Scenes With Juror # 11

Hi everyone, Katie here.

Welcome back to another exclusive behind-the-scenes Q & A with the cast of "Katie Is... ACCUSED."  Cody from Cat Chat, a.k.a. Juror #11, joins us today to share his own impressions of the video.



KATIE:  Welcome Cody. First let me say how sorry I am that your hometown Tigers messed up so badly. You look like you can't believe what just happened.

CODY:  Swept away like kitty litter, I tell you.

KATIE:  So Cody, onto bigger and brighter things. What was your favorite part of "Katie Is... ACCUSED?"

CODY:  Seeing my face...of course.

KATIE:  How about Dakota the dog?  What's he saying about the video?

CODY:  Dakota says why you would choose a dog OTHER than him as Judge is BEYOND him!




KATIE:  Apparently the District Attorney felt Dakota would have to recuse himself from the bench based on the fact that you'd already been cast in the role of Juror #11.  Just try not to go too crazy with all the autographs and stuff in front of him. Don't make him fetch your Sharpies.

Ok, the answer we've all been waiting for:  Guilty or innocent?

CODY:  Innocent...but of course!
