By now I am sure most of you know that Katie and her human are finalists in Purina’s “The Friskies” Best New Internet Cat Video of 2012. But did you know there is a secret behind the video? It claims that “a rule was broken,” and that is true. A rule was broken… but it is not what you think! I will reveal all at the end of this post, but right now, to refresh your memory, here is the video, and supposed broken rule.
If you can’t see the above video, click here to watch it on YouTube… and click here to give it your vote in the Friskies!
Katie allowed me exclusive access to two of the video’s jurors: Austin from CATachresis, and Kjelle Bus, a.k.a. Charlie Rascal from Charlie Rascal’s Destinies & Adventures. Here is what they had to say about the video:
Austin, what’s your favorite part of the video?
My tongue cameo.
If there are any other animals in your house, what are THEY saying about the video?
Tigger says, “I think the lace is stringing everyone along!”
Guilty or Innocent?
GUILTY as charged!
(Austin’s human disagrees, “Innocent, the evidence is strictly circumstantial.”)
Kjelle Bus, or should I call you Charlie? What’s your favorite part of the video?
My favourite part is in the courthouse where you can see us all.
If there are any other animals in your house, what are THEY saying about the video?
We just have fish in the aquarium and they say, “blob, blob, blob.”
Guilty or Innocent?
INNOCENT! Of course!!
And I firmly believe that Kjelle Bus is correct because Katie did not break any rule whatsoever! As I revealed at the beginning, there was a rule broken, and not by Katie:
That’s right, Katie merely behaved as any self-respecting cat would. It was Gloman, expecting her to do otherwise, who is the rule breaker! So kitties, do you think the wrong one is on trial here? Tell me in the comments below… right after you vote for Katie’s video!

Of course the wrong one is on trial! We are looking forward to the inevitable miscarriage of justice and compensation payments which the INNOCENT deserves.
Great video. They are so good at making those videos. Have a great day.
Oh it is definitely Gloman’s fault! Katie was set up by him leaving his shoes on the floor!!
We have already voted for Katie and we concur Gloman was the one who broke the RULES and should be on trial. In fact we even quoted your rule when we saw Katie was on trial. We are working hard to make sure our Mommy & Daddy learns them.
That’s one slick video!
I’d like to add Quill’s Sub-Rule A to rule 97 – If something isn’t on the floor yet, once pushed onto the floor by the feline rule 97 also applies.
Of course Katie is innocent!!
Austin chose to ignore rule no. 97 !!!!! He can only count to nine!!! 😉
INNOCENT of course. NO feline could think otherwise.
PS: that is a truly awesome video! We hadn’t seen it before.
This was the trial of the century, you know… purrs
We Pinned this but are not pinning the crime on Katie. Justice will prevail!
We KNEW Katie was innocent!! Humans are responsible for everything. Bad, that is.
That was soooooo good Sparkle! We all know she was framed!
Katie is innocent!!! Great video & we hope there’s a 2nd one!
FaRADaY: It’s a TRAVESTY of Justice, is what we say!! A Travesty!!
Maxwell: Dood. You don’t even know what a travesty *is*.
Does this mean that Gloman is going to the trials instead of Katie ??!! *mol*
Hope they win!
We have already voted for Katie. Of course she is innocent, Gloman is the one who should be in the dock.
We know Katie is innocent. Gloman tried to frame her!
Gloman could not be reached for comment, but is expected to released a prepared statement.
Sparkle, the outpouring of support from you and your readers is overwhelming. My chief counsel is going to motion for dismissal. …Gloman had better be on the lookout for Wally the Island Police Cat.
Until then, I will continue to maintain a low profile. UTB.
-Katie
We voted for Katie six times from all the Human’s crazy email addresses! OF COURSE, she has done nuffing wrong. As if!
yoW! based on Katie’s movie, our Minnie should be doing hard time, mol! Katie is innocent, we say! 😀 thanks for posting that Cat Rule #97, Sparkle. we need to post that all over our house 😉
Pip, Smidgen, minnie, HOllie
I object to that outburst by Austin. Let the court strike that from the record.
WRONGLY accused. That’s what you are, Katie!
Innocent! And we voted for you, by the way! 🙂
