| I knew something would come of this Web stuff! (Hope there are some Hollywood producers watching this page!) |

 I
know some of you cats had prior commitments and couldn’t attend the awards
ceremony, but it seemed like the whole world was there. Here’s an excerpt
from my acceptance speech. (My BMC took this photo while I was waiting
to give my speech. Boy, was I nervous! After all, this was my very first
award!) |

“Wow! It’s been a long road since I was a kitty and first learned computing. Wow! Um, I’d like to thank Monday and CatAnna and the other members of the Academy...oops, wrong speech!!! (Ooooeeee! You like me, you really like me!! Oh, gee whiz!!!) But seriously, I’m overwhelmed with this honor. I still remember some of those first days when my BFC and I both looked at each other and said, ‘What’s a table?’ It was a lot of work but now I know it was worth it...” |

| Following is an excerpt from my speech, made
at a private ceremony. It was another whirlwind evening—the milk bottle
corks were popping! “Oh my! Thank you so much. I am most deeply honored to receive this award. I’ve worked so very hard. Receiving this award gives me the incentive to try harder. I do have some changes in mind, but they are still in the planning stages. I so hope they will be worthy of this award. Thank you once again!” |

Maybe you can tell...I don’t take this award stuff lightly. Here’s a portion of my acceptance speech: “This award stuff is going to my head—much like catnip! But I love it—thank you so much! It’s nice to know that in this hustle-bustle world, handsomeness is appreciated (Hollywood producers take note, please)!” |

Wow! Three awards in nine days—I just don’t get tired of the excitement! Once again, here’s a portion of my acceptance speech: “Thank you so much for this prestigious award! I’m a bit overwhelmed—I’m practically purrless! (You’re a pretty hot babe, not to mention hip! Glad you enjoyed my Art Gallery—Texas is pretty far away or I’d invite you up to see my etchings!) Thanks, again!” |

 From: Evette Awarded on: Monday, November 9, 1998 |
| “Thank you so much for your very wonderful award! I did my utmost to produce an aesthetic site. A cat can’t have too much culture!

I am most deeply touched. Thank you again!” |
