And the Food Lady of the Yeer Award Goze to...
I got the ideyuh for this kontest win I red abowt Lewis the Cat's Food Lady, Ruth Cisero. She's the wun hoo was reddy to go to jale to keep Lewis frum being condemmed to deth. She was vary brave (and qwite frankly, the Avon Lady dezervd to be attakt for coming into Lewis' yard uninvitid). Anyway, I was thinking of giving Ruth Cisero an award bak win I red abowt Lewis, but then I thot that all of my frends have GRATE Food Ladeez, and thare's probly a Ruth Cisero in thare sumware. So that's how this kontest startid.
This yeer, the nominayshuns razed $180 to be given to Libby Marie's Mom, Brandi's Mom and Oreo's Mom. They eech got $60 --- not a hole lot, but we wunted to let them know that they have frends in the blogosfeer hoo care abowt them.
Finulists were selektid by populer vote, and then a committey of me, my big bruther Mao, Rocky and Trip choze the Grand Prize Winner.
Anyway, to git to the winners.....!
FINULISTS
We ended up with SIX finulists insted of five frum over three hundred votes cast. Three of the finulists had the same number of votes. The six finulists are:
- Libby Marie's Riley's Mommy
- Merlin's Daddy
- Kimo & Sabi's Mommakitty
- Luxor's Fuddy Duddy Food Dude
- Deb Taylor
- One-eyed Stevie's Daddy
WILD CARD WINNER
Next, thare was a wild card winner. This entrey was chozin at randum frum the non-finulists, and wins:
- Sponsership of a Best Frends Cat in yoo or yer Food Lady/Dude's name AND
- Choice of eether a Skeezix the Cat Morfing Mug or 2007 Skeezix the Cat Kalinder
And the wildcard winner is: Dragonheart's Hyoomans!
GRAND PRIZE WINNER
Choozing frum the finulists was reely reely tuff. Eech of theeze Food Peepul was extrodinery in thare own ways. One-eyed Stevie's Dad is owt to save the werld, one cat or Santa at a time. He's amazing, and a reely wunderful persun. Lux's Fuddy Duddy Food Dude reeminds me so much of Mr Tasty Face, it's unkanny. Deb Taylor is an amazing saver of cats, inclooding helping to save owr best frend, the intrepid reeporter, KC. Kimo and Sabi submitted the best nominayshun --- it was reely nicely done, with lots of good pikchurs, and it told evrything abowt thare Mommakitty hoo is anuther wunderful persun with a huge hart. Merlin's Daddy is a superstar for letting Merlin git a baby bruther (LT, hoo was heroikly reskyood by Bubbles' and Mrs B's ladey), and of korse Libby Marie Riley's mom hoo werked so hard to save Libby's life and to let her know in her last days how much she was loved.
In the end, we choze the winner as the nominee hoo got twice as many (yes, twice as many) votes as the 2nd place finisher. Aside frum the fakt that we wunted the winner to reflekt the voters' wishes, the winner was sumwun we'd love to have as a persun, and hoo imbodeez the very best of Food Lady/Dudehood. This nominee got votes frum all over the blogosfeer (not just like ten votes frum all the cats in his howse), many times more comments than any other nominayshun, and the cat hoo nominaytid him took the time to comment on neerly evry singul nominayshun (wich I haven't even bin abul to do yet). And ultimitly, the thing that deesided it for us was the foto in the nominayshun: it was just the sweetist thing, and also providid inkontrovertibul proof that this food dude has a vary tasty face, wich is an importunt part of being a good Food Dude.
So as yoo may have gest by now, Skeezix the Cat's Food Dude of the Yeer Award goze to Luxor's Fuddy Duddy Food Dude. Congratulayshuns! He wins:
- A "Food Lady/Food Dude of the Yeer Award" Trofeey
- $50 Amazon Gift Sertifikit
- Sponsership of a Best Frends Cat in yoo or yer Food Lady/Dude's name
- Whirly-bird Cat Toy for the cat hoo nominaytid yoo
I'd also like to aknolidje One-Eyed Stevie's Dad as the runnerup. We'll send Stevie a Whirly-bird Cat Toy.
HONERUBUL MENSHUNS
Two nominees came vary vary close to being finulists and shood by salooted, too: Jeter Harris' Dad and Danielle, hoo saved the Rode Ilund Kitteez (inclooding Kismet's new sister, Sophie). Sorry, yoo don't git prizes but, as a Yankee fan, Jete' shood know -- thare's always next yeer!
Thanks to evrywun hoo partisipaytid! I wish I cood have givin owt big prizes to evry single persun!

Thank you - I just found out a little bit ago that my dad's the Food Dude of the Yeer, and I posted something on my blog after my initial period of shock!
As I said there, though, our humans, be they Food Ladies or Food Dudes or vets or grandmas, are all winners!
Thanks to Skeez, Mao, Rocky, Trip, the Food Lady, and Mr. Tasty Face for hosting this contest - I know it was a lot of work!
Congratulations to Luxor's daddy and everyone else! This was such a great contest. We read every entry and they were all wonderful.
Merry Christmas!
Thank you for choosing my daddy as the first runner up. If Lux's Fuddy Duddy is unable to continue his reign, my daddy will be happy to step in. So Lux, if your daddy poses for Playcat or something, there's a backup for the title.
Thanks Skeezix for putting together a contest like this and thanks to all of the cats who voted for my DADDY!
And because we think this contest is so great, we'll sponsor a Best Friends cat too. I'll go online tomorrow and pick one. I'm busy tonight 'cause Mommy and Daddy just got home!
Congratulations to all the winners and finalists and everykitty who entered! All I wanted for Christmas was for my Mom to come back home, and she just got back!!
I am one happy dude. Catgrats everykitty!
Lucky Boo, using Sindri's blogger account... thanks Sindri ;)
Oh, concatulations to the winners! How wonderful that you'll be gettin' "Whirly Bird" toys, too! Mom bought one for us (after seeing in on Skeezix's blog and goin' to the website). We got to open it today and it is REALLY FUN!
What a terrific contest, Skeezix!

Skeezix - thank you for the hosting this wonderful contest. We are delighted that we won the wildcard prize! :) We are so excited to have a sponsored cat in our humans' names. :)
Hooray to the winner, an all the contestants! Hooray to Skeezix, Mao, Tripper, an Rocky, and a special hooray to Skeezix's Fude Lady an Mr. TF.
Hey Skeezix. I have been reading your bloggie for a few weeks now. I do not think you are ugly. I think you are beautiful. I have two Cornish Rex kitties (they do not have blogs) They are 15, brother and sister, Caesar and Princess are their names. We love them.
I think your people are beautiful too.
I will read now and then, sitting here at my MacBook in Virginia :-)
Happy Christmas!! 2007 is going to be the best yet!
Yeah Luxor!! I can't think of a better guy to have won! Congrats to all of the winners, it was so fun to read all of the entries. We all have such special Fud People.
