And the winner is... SPAGHETTI CAT

As far as we're concerned, 2008 is the year when one very special black tabby was caught red-handed (the "red hands," in this case, being kitty paws covered in marinara sauce). Brazenly indistinguishable morning squawkfest The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet featured a heaven-sent moment (during a segment on binge drinking, no less) in which the live feed was suddenly replaced with an image of a cat, perched upright like any other human in a kitchen chair, eating from a bowl of pasta. History will never be the same -- for us or that darn cat.

Also don't miss when Mike and Juliet "set the record straight" about Spaghetti Cat's origins and also, Parry Gripp's ode to Spaghetti Cat.
