These are officially the 4 best cat videos on the entire Internet
While I love all animals, I probably love cats and dogs the most. Growing up, my family always had cats, so they have a special place in my heart. Seriously, what on earth is better than cuddling with a kitten or playing with a ball of string?
For whatever reason, cat videos have become very popular on the Internet. Whether nerds truly love cats, or it is enjoyed ironically, the videos are clearly here to stay. Amazingly, Friskies cat food has an annual awards show to find the best cat videos, called "The Friskies". Here are the 4 best, according to public voting.
"There are millions of Internet cat videos but the best of the best were celebrated last night at an awards gala to honor the finalists and officially announce the winners of 'The Friskies' -- the renowned awards for the best Internet cat videos of the year. It was up to the public to vote on their favorite videos from August 11, 2014 through September 8, 2014 and America has spoken", says Friskies.
The cat food company further explains, "after months of competition and anticipation, the 12 finalists of 'The Friskies' gathered in Los Angeles, Calif. to find out which felines would take home a coveted catuette. YouTube celebrities The Fine Bros. and category captains Grace Helbig, Zach King, Will Braden and Jesse Wellens were also in attendance to honor the finalists and present the awards. By the end of the night, Friskies crowned the four category winners and the Grand Prize winner".
Here are the 4 best, in their respective category and location:
Funny: Cat vs. Flipflop starring Buddy; Palm Coast, FL
Res-cute: Cat and Baby Play Peekaboo starring Howie; Liverpool, OH
Epic: How Bob Gets His Exercise starring Bob; Atlanta, GA
Strange: Dumpster Kitty starring Cole and Marmalade; Tampa, FL
Ultimately, "Dumpster Kitty" won the $25,000 grand prize. However, the real winners are needy cats. You see, Friskies ended up donating 250,000 cans of wet cat food and $23,500 to shelters, which should go a long way in the health and happiness of the felines.
