Forget the fawn and focus on the feline: Bambi, the adorable NYC shelter kitty who participated in the Meow Mix House "reality show," was the only cat not adopted out of the ten cats in participating, leaving some to wonder if her solitary attitude (she loved sitting on a leopard print couch and hissed at other cats) was to blame. The Post had first reported that Bambi was the last cat standing adoption-wise (was it due to "Man-cat-tan meow-titude"?), but the Daily News took up the kitty torch, reporting that Bambi had been adopted by an Upper East Sider. The 7 year old cat was picked up yesterday - and she got to take her leopard print couch too. Hooray! more ›

Me-ow! We loved the idea of Meow Mix's reality show for cats so much that we had to check out the Meow Mix House for ourselves. The webcams are great, but there is nothing like going up to the window and trying to convince a cat that you're his or her best friend in the whole wide world. more ›

Awesome! The Meow Mix House webcams are up. Why webcams? Why a house? Meow Mix is running its special cat reailty show where cats compete for a job with Meow Mix. Seriously. Cats from shelters across the country were selected to be put into a "house" at 425 Madison Avenue (Meow Mix's director of advertising and marketing, Ira Cohen, did tell the AP, "This thing is very tongue-in-cheek."). Each week, people can vote for the cats they want to stay in the house, and the winner will be named the "Feline Vice President of Research." But cats who are voted out will get placed in a home, plus a year of Meow Mix, as a prize, so not all is lost. In fact, one of the goals of the Meow Mix House stunt is to remind people about adoption season and how older cats need homes. more ›
