The first-ever Friskies cat video awards were held in Los Angeles  this past Wednesday a tribute to the online appeal of cat videos, which are the third most-searched items on YouTube.

More than 1,400 entries were submitted, with the grand prize awarded to the video called, "Oskar's First Toys," starring a blind kitten named Oskar who was born without eyes. Mick Szydlowski and his girlfriend, Bethany, filmed the video the day after they adopted Oskar, and it shows the blind kitten playing with his new toys, balls with bells inside that he can hear. Szydlowski received a $15,000 prize and a year's supply of cat food.
