Tonight’s the night, award-show lovers! It’s time for the Academy Awards, the Oscars…time to watch the stars walk down that red carpet. Time to stay up half the night waiting to see if your favorite is going to win Best Actor. Time to watch with bated breath to see who will win Best…

Oh, who cares?

You know who really deserves an award? Cats. Because cats make life better day in, day out.

You know what I’d like to see on that red carpet? A cat. Napping. That, I would watch.

 The 2016 Cat’s Meow Awards

Because cats are so terrific, I recently partnered with Meow Mix cat food to recognize the year's top four-legged performances in The 2016 Cat's Meow Awards .

That's right – this year's most anticipated awards show honors a flurry of furry faces. 

Meow Mix brand received more than 25,000 submissions from all over the country for the Cat's Meow Awards , which was established to celebrate the best cat moments of the year and the one-of-a-kind bond that only cats and humans share.

Check out these clips from the awards show that matters, The 2016 Cat's Meow Awards:

Con-cat-ulations to the all of the 2016 Cat's Meow Awards finalists and winners! 

But let's face it, cats couldn't care less about glory or fame... that's why Meow Mix brand created a new line of Irresistibles treats so that you can give them the award they're really looking for. With real meat, a wide variety of flavors, and both soft and crunchy textures, your cat will be sure to thank you in his acceptance speech.

Now Presenting the Ultimately Irresistible Cat: The Wild Cat Card Winner

Cats deserve awards. Lots of awards. Admit it, every single day your cat does something so irresistible you just want to give him an award. The way she talks to you…the way she lies on her back and observes the world upside down…the way she gently touches your food and then licks the luscious flavor from her paw while you wonder if you should still eat that salmon … You know what I mean.

Seriously, who wants to watch Leonardo DiCaprio being eaten by a bear when you can watch a cute cat instead?

With so many outstanding kitty performances out there,  Meow Mix thought there's no reason why the human actors should get all the glory.  So they created the Cat's Meow Awards, the first-ever awards show dedicated to the one-of-a-kind bond between cats and their humans. (Scooch over, Leonardo—the cat wants a spot on the awards sofa!)

If you’ve been following along as you should, you’ve already seen the winners of the aww-worthy Best Cat Cuddle and the gasp-inducing Best Cat-hlete. Now, I present to you the award for the most irresistible cat moment across any cat-egory... the Wild Cat Card!

With over 25,000 submissions featuring ridiculously cute felines, the judging was purr-ty difficult (kind of like choosing between food and a nap), but the voting committee made up of Meow Mix fans finally came to a decision.

Check out the Cat's Meow Awards clip revealing the Wild Cat Card winner:

Wow, those remarkable displays of adorableness are certainly deserving of an indulgent treat! If you want to score some FREE treats, just submit a photo or video of your cat at irresistiblemoments.com. Meow Mix will send you a bag of their new Irresistibles treats, which are made with real meat and offer a wide variety of flavors, plus both soft and crunchy textures. They're the perfect way to reward your cat for doing something totally irresistible... which undoubtedly happens all the time!

And stay tuned for the next edition of the Cat's Meow Awards! Which new cat-egory would you like to see added next?

Tired of Football? Check Out Some Athletic Cats!

If you are unfortunate enough to be a fan of a football team that has already been knocked out of the playoffs, you may be wondering where you can turn to satisfy your craving for amazing feats of athleticism (assuming you’re not excited about watching your football enemies progress toward that big game at the end). Well, I know exactly what you need, and that is a good dose of feline athletic prowess, or as some call it, cat-hleticism. For example:

• Admire pure speed and leaping ability? The Egyptian Mau can run up to 30 miles per hour and can easily jump from the floor to your shoulder.
• Need more maneuverability? The Manx can zip through sharp turns and stop on a dime.
• Looking for endurance? The Bengal can go and go and go and go…

Meow Mix is honoring the year's most incredible displays of feline physical prowess—and all the irresistible moments that make the cat-human bond unique—in their first ever Cat's Meow Awards.  Over 25,000 cat lovers submitted their remarkably talented kitties for an award, and though the contest was close, the voting committee of Meow Mix fans ultimately crowned a winner for Best Cat-hlete (as well as the other awards cat-egories, Best Cat Cuddle and Wild Cat Card).

Check out the Cat's Meow Awards clip recognizing some of the Internet's greatest four-legged athletes:

Wasn’t that amazing? Really, who needs football when you’ve got a cat? That’s exactly why Meow Mix created the Cat's Meow Awards—to help humans appreciate all the little ways cats make life GREAT.

If you've got a cat worth showing off (and really, who doesn't?) submit your own irresistible cat moment at irresistiblemoments.com and get a FREE bag of Meow Mix Irresistibles treats, created to make kitty-human bonding time even more delicious.  With real meat, a wide variety of flavors, and both soft and crunchy textures, there's no telling how quickly your cat will sprint, jump, or pounce to get one.

 And don't forget to check back soon to find out the winner of the third Cat's Meow Awards cat-egory: Wild Cat Card!

See the Year’s Best Cat Cuddle

“And the Academy Award goes to…”

Oh, who cares? I haven’t been to a movie in…my whole life. Let’s talk about something important. Like cats. And the Acatemy Awards, otherwise known as The Cat's Meow Awards. These truly important awards are brought to you by Meow Mix and are part of the Mix’s celebration of those irresistible moments that make the human-feline bond so special. (Let’s be honest, though. The bond is probably more special for humans than for cats. When’s the last time you saw a cat stalking a human with a camera, waiting for said human to do something “cute”? Answer: Never.)

The Cat's Meow Awards received more than 25,000 submissions from everyday humans who adore their cats. And though competition was stiff, Meow Mix fans ultimately chose winners in three cat-egories: Best Cat Cuddle, Best Cat-hlete, and Wild Cat Card.

The best news is, you don’t have to sit through hours and hours of an awards show to see the one moment you actually care about. You can see who won the Cat's Meow Awards right now, starting with this clip recognizing the most irresistibly cuddly cats on the Internet:

What a touching performance! I’ve never seen a better cat cuddle. And just think—that could be your cat up there on the silver screen, drawing a big “Aww” while doing something worthy of a tasty treat, one that’s made with real meat and comes in a wide variety of flavors and both soft and crunchy textures. I’m talking about Meow Mix’s new line of Irresistibles treats, of course. To score a FREE bag—and learn more about the Cat's Meow Awards—go to irresistiblemoments.com.

Stay tuned to this blog to see the winners of the Best Cat-hlete and Wild Cat Card Cat's Meow Awards!

Announcing the Acatemy

People and cats: a centuries-old bond.

with his cat back in the mid-1800s.
He would've been in the Acatemy for sure.

People and cats have been bonding and sharing special moments for thousands of years. We know this from the amazing works of cat-related art that have survived from ancient Egpyt, Greece, Rome, and other cultures...and from more recent items like the photo at left.

Maybe some cats even wandered into Plato’s famed Academy and stayed to enjoy that lively society-who knows? Maybe…Plato was a cat person and had a less well known group called the Acatemy, where he got together with other cat lovers to learn and share news and insights about their feline friends.

Okay, that probably did not happen way back in 380 BC or thereabouts when Plato was around. But you know what? The Acatemy is happening today, and you can be a part of it.

What is the Acatemy? It’s a one-of-a-kind society for cat lovers to learn fascinating expert insights, see cat-related news, and get special perks, and it’s brought to you by Meow Mix (come on, sing the song with me: “Meow meow meow meow…”). I'm a proud member—along with many other top cat bloggers, authors, and “pet personalities.” The best news is that you can join too: You know those six thousand cute photos and videos you have of your cat? Just share one and you’re in! Plus, all new members get a FREE bag of Meow Mix's new Irresistibles Treats, and you know your cat will love that.

Curious? Watch the video below to find out more. I’ll see you at the Acatemy!
