2010 Most Kind Hearted

@ForeverGinger

Hello there friends.  I want to thank those who nominated me and voted for me as “Most Kind Hearted”.  It came as quite a shock to me when I heard I had been nominated and I am honored to share this award with my dear friend @Mariodacat.  Thank you to all who put together the Anipal Academy Awards.  Your hard work and dedication really showed throughout the entire event.  It was am amazing event.  Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart.  P.S. I think we should have a “Biggest Flirt” category next year.  I think I have a good shot at winning that award. Again, Thank you all.

@AlbertTheCat

"My Lords, Ladies, Gentlemen, Cats, and I suppose I have to include dogs, apart from that nasty little Jack Russell that lives next door, unaccustomed as I am to public speaking, let me say that the award is a well deserved recognition for the pearls of wisdom that I regularly bestow upon you lot. 
"To keep in their good books, I must thank the Academy for recognizing great literary talent like what I've got. At this stage, I should also offer thanks to others who have helped make this moment possible, but I can't think of any. A passing mention is in order to the one I don't trust for the occasional prawn, and for the pretty one for keeping him in order. As for my poncy brother and stupid sister, I just hope they realise how lucky they are to have me looking after them. 
"Finally, a big thank you to all my readers for their loyal support - all three of you. To finish, I accept this belated and thoroughly merited award with all the modesty you would expect from a superstar like what I am. You make me feel very humble - whatever that means. Good night and God bless"

2010 Best Props Department

@CokieTheCat

I'd like to thank the Academy for this beautiful Award! It's perfect for scratching that place on my cheeks that just always seems to need attention and looks great on mom's desk above the computer. I must also thank Dad, since he is the Prop Master; Mama, my director; cat behaviourist Jackson Galaxy for recommending "Da Bird," even/especially for older guys like me; and finally GO-CAT Feather Toys at Go-Cat.com for inventing "Da Bird!"

Thank you!!!

2010 Coolest Human

@Danapixie 

OHMYGOSH!! I am so honored to be chosen the Coolest Human by the Anipal Academy. It's so special to me to have been selected by the anipal community!

But every human that was nominated is the 'coolest human' because all of them are involved in the Anipal Community in some way.

All my anipals are very special and important to me. I want you all happy and healthy. Which is why I maintain the #pawcircle blog and I tweet #pawcircle so much. I hope that this is a place and service where friends can find the anipals that need our good thoughts and anipals can find solace and know they are cared about.

The anipal community has become my family and with all of you I share my cycling/running/sporty activities.

I was so glad to be able to share my trip to Italy with all of you through the photos I tweeted. And if there are any out there that didn't get to see them (beware! there are lots!) let me know! LOL

My involvement in the anipal community is very important to me and I am so honored to be a part of it, let alone win an award!

Thank you all so much!

2010 Most Kind Hearted

@Mariodacat

WOW, I’m still quite overwhelmed from co-winning the “Most Kind Hearted” award this weekend at the AnnualAnipalAcademyAwards show.  I’d like to thank the Academy for even nominating me. That is quite an honor for a little kitty just to be nominated. 

I’m thrilled that @ForeverGinger also won because I felt she should have taken it hands (or paws) down.  If ever anyone was deserving of this honor, it’s Ginger.  In fact, all of the Nominees are very deserving.  So, I’m accepting this award with great pride and on behalf of all the Nominees – they are all winners in my book!!  You all ROCK!

2010 Worst Purrformance in a video Winner

@Ryker_Tyker

Meowzers!  My very own Acceptance Speech! [Person, you taking dictation?] 

*clears throat* (pause) *runs through a few test yowls to warm up voice*  MIMIMIMIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! 

*taps mike* (Person: Ryker, stop it. That really gets on the audio tech's nerves. Trust me on this.)

*glares at Person* (pause) *turns back on Person and studiously IGNORES her* (Sighhhh...good help, SO hard to find these days!)

AHEM.

"Thanks you, thanks you... it's such an honor to be recognized for such an achievement. People think it's easy to win the title, "Worst Purrformance in a Video," but let me tell you, it's taken many long, difficult months' worth of rigorous training and refinement to achieve such a coveted goal!

I have to thank @Allie_Kitti for being my inspiration. She was always there (always, incessantly, omnipresently, ANNOYINGLY there) biting, clawing, pouncing and stalking me...driving me to the height of perfection.

*bows to Allie...from a respectful distance* I think it's fair to say, Allie, that without you there would be no Anipal Academy Award for this Tonk!

To the Academy, who had the Good Taste to see through the surface yowls to the tormented soul that lay beneath such a memorable diatribe and recognize my Star Qualities....I thank you, one and all.

And finally, to my Person. Without your catering to my every whim, indulging me shamelessly and basically spoiling me beyond rotten, I would never have developed such a demanding yowl.  For all the (many) days you worked late and I greeted you with an affronted wail (at the top of my lungs)... for all the occasions where I tested your response time by demanding treats at 120 decibels (whaddaya mean, that's the threshold of pain? Humans. SUCH wimps. Rilly.) ...

I humbly thank you.

Hark! Is that my Agent calling? Must run, my Adoring Fans await...."

<<<>>>> ooooooh! *squeal!* SPOTLIGHTS! Paparazzi! Just what a Girl NEEDS to feel Special and GLAM! *bats eyes and arranges pink toenails for optimum camera angle* Is this my best side, Dame? Is it? Is it? *giggle* 

What? They're not here for MEEEE? This is all for Ryker?!?!? ooooooooooooohhhhhhh.... <<<<>>>>

[Ryker's Person here:  sorry guys, interview's over, gotta go avert- *CRASH! HISS! YOWWWWWWL!* ....disaster.... ]
