Thanks, Julip! That tower is amazing! I keep singing "Meow Mix House" and the DH is really not amused. His loss. lol

I will be in a computer class all day tomorrow, but perhaps some inspired soul can call the number in the post/article just to see if she has found a new home? That way we will know for sure (and if nobody can, I will try on Tuesday).

Oh, I just noticed in the article that the new owner is also getting Bambi's couch, as well. Double Hooray! A good home, and she takes her beloved couch with her.

I am so very glad that Bambi got a home AND got to take HER couch! I really think the couch had to go with her; Bambi and her couch and her pink pillows were the main consistent thing in the whole house. I don't think there was a single person watching who did not ask where Bambi was if she was NOT on the couch. Look at the reaction when some human straightened the pillows when it should have been known that Bambi did not need them straightened. As for the ottoman, I can't recall who hid under it the most.

We all wanted Bambi to have that couch! LOL Well, she deserved it, from day one she made it perfectly clear that was her spot. I only saw her share it a couple of times but she didn't seem to mind that much. She didn't fight them or anything. I voted many many times for Bambi every day figuring if she got enough votes they would keep a webcam pointed toward the couch. I wanted to at least see a cat whenever I went to the MMH site and sometimes she was the only cat I saw. Oh, I would get glimpses of other cats but I could almost always depend on Bambi to be on her couch.

Thanks to ALL you folks for keeping this updated. I finally finished catching up on the thread. What GREAT screenshots and commentary - All the way through! Kinda glad nobody posted the 'Intruder Dismantle Job' screenshots - later maybe I can look, but right now it just all seems so sad. Willsfan, I truly enjoyed your story of your Living Stuffed Animal. Could absolutely picture it! My bigtime dog loving sister (who loves cats too) is coming from Phx this week and I'm eager to show your story to her, what a giggle! Maybe someone already posted this, but while I was snooping around googlin' this evening, I ran onto this site with a picture: Meow Mix House catestant Bambi with Gervase from Survivor http://www.flickr.com/photos/kambricrews/173441970/ Pretty Funny! Bambi giving Gervase her customary non-attention as she let him share her couch. I'm so delighted they sent the couch and at least one pink pillow with her. Frankly, I think they realized as a PR move, there would have been a HUGE roar of outrage if they had not sent Bambi's couch packing with her! Think I'm going to send MM an email to thank them for their generousity! What a sweet kitty, I've lost count of all the votes I've made for Bambi from the gitgo (made one for Molly tho, cause she looks like a little mouse). I'm shocked now to discover how many other people HERE have been voting for her too! Knowing that, I will be stunned if Bambi doesn't win - especially now that she will get more 'poor NYC orphaned kitty' votes coming her way after this delayed adoption story. I always just thought she was a hoot and a sweetheart! Not putting on a show, not unwilling to share her couch, Bambi was very clear about what she was interested in - a long snooze and OCCASIONAL intruder chin scratches. My Thelma & Louise would not tolerate another sister, but if I lived in NYC I would have been begging to adopt that sweetie kitty! I so wish this wasn't over. Sniff! Although, probably all the kitties are relieved and happy being absorbed with mucho attention into their new homes.

Gervase looks like Gulliver in that shot. He's HUGE compared to the small scale kitty condo!!

WOW - GREAT NEWS! I was just coming here to get that number and make the call. Thanks for the info, Nabby!! And Biscotii - thanks for that link! There are soooo many great shots from the House opening on that site. And a view from the outside. I captured a few. Not sure how they will post...had to adjust for size in PhotoShop. I'll post a couple now to test. Is there ANYTHING Jonny Fairplay won't go to?

OK...so...they come out pretty small. Your best bet is checking out the link that Biscotii posted and checking out the other shots. There are some great ones of the kitties. For Bonza...
My buddy Ellis...
This must be the competition room!!

So...while I am here, I gotta give a special shout out to Julip for giving me the link to discover the wonder of Kitty Hoots. I ordered one of the boogie mats and a toy that has a fabric tail attached to a head online last week. So, I get home last night just in time to dash upstairs for the Erika chat and find the box on my doorstep. It's one of those flat priority mail ones. Not having time to deal with it right then, I toss it on the kitchen table unopened and head upstairs. I come down after the chat to find Marble firmly planted on top of the box and she did NOT want to move. She was smelling the catnip through the package. I wrestled it away from her and opened the box and prepared the toys (with two furry kitties pacing at my feet). I finally get it all together and put the mat on the livingroom floor. MAN OH MAN! I have not seen my little guys so excited about something in, like, EVER! I didn't realize the size of the mats, so I only ordered one (and I wanted to be sure they liked it). Big mistake. After a brief smackdown, Marble got control of the mat while Chip had to make do with the toy (which he liked, but it was the principle). She rolled and purred and for the next hour sat there, with Chip a foot away from her with the toy, just glaring at her. She finally had to get up and use the cat box, and as soon as she got up, Chip took over the spot. Then it was Marble's turn to sit and glare. I swear, they switched off back and forth all night. When I went to bed, Marble had it. Middle of the night, she finally came onto my bed (she usually spends all night there - they both do). When I got up this morning, Chip was on the mat. When I left, it was Marble. I am stopping at Petco on the way home. If they don't have it, PetSmart. There is no way I can walk back in that house tonight without another Boogie Mat!

Biscottiii - thanks for posting that article! I had no idea what a big event (for everyone else, that is lol) it was when MM House debuted. How fun! It is really funny seeing humans seated on the furniture or walking in the house, and seeing how tiny everything really is lol Willsfan - I must have missed your story somehow - did you post it in this thread or another one? Nancy - woo hoo! So glad the Boogie Mat was such a huge hit! I love it that Marble was already on the case even before you could get it out of the box. Your kits really did take to it, didn't they?? Thanks so much for sharing! You absolutely must visit Bonza's folder if you haven't already - on Sunday, she posted a fantastic pictorial of Bonza and Precious' reaction to their Boogie Mat. After seeing that, I ran out to get one. She warned me I would need two, but I didn't think my kits would have quite the same reaction - and also my store didn't have more than one design. I also posted some photos in my folder, and I now know I must have two mats as well. lol Take some photos if you can the next time they get stirred up in a frenzy!

That photo essay at Bonza's folder was great Julip - thanks!! I always forget about the members area... I did snap a few shots of the kitties with their new toys last night, and I'm sure more photo ops will present themselves later. I'll post a couple when I get 'em uploaded

Nancy - that is so hilarious about Chip & Marble and their reaction to the Boogie Mat, even before it came out of the box! I'm glad you enjoyed the photos and trust you have been to Julip's folder to see her Bonzai & DC in action?! Suffice to say, these mats are a great toy. Age and amount of other toys in the house matters not - cats love these things! Boscotti - those are great photos - thanks for posting the link. Nancy, I love that pic of Sam.
