Only the top left and bottom right cams are still working. There is not much to see in one - the loft has been gutted and all you can see is some reflection of the main floor in the loft windows.

If anyone wants one last shot of Bambi, she is in the top right cam now.

Wow - thanks all for the closing coverage, everyone! I wasn't able to stick around for the end, but I think it was for the best lol. Jinksy, that warms my heart that they sent Bambi home with a pink pillow! My heart sank when I saw the closing message on the website! Boohoo. I hope all the kitties love their new homes, and that they have at least one other fur friend to have fun with. Bonza - I can't wait to see the Bonza & Precious Kitty Hoots mat pictures! Is it very much like the KH mat you already have? I have seen Kitty Hoots products just about everywhere I go now - even the grocery store (usually just toys, not mats/beds). One pet supply store near me has just about everything they make! They also make dog toys. I love that Bonza has the run of the house now! And I thought he didn't like sisal? It's been fun, everyone! Can't wait to read the updates from the kitties, and of course see the weekly footage.

Hey, house watchers... Bambi has not yet been adopted! ""She's got beautiful red tones and is very, very pretty," adds ASPCA vice president Gail Buchwald in New York, where interested adopters can call (212) 876-7700, ext. 4120, to inquire about taking Bambi home. "She starts out a bit shy, but once she warms up, she's a complete cuddlebug."

Hey Bonza - how did you find out that Bambi needs a home? If I lived in NYC, I'd be on the phone immediately! Did anyone catch tonight's episode? I just caught part of a promo for MMH, but missed if they said it was coming up or what.

Nancy - I've got a cat in my lap so it's hard to type. I read this story and it breaks my heart. Bambi Story - call your NYC friends! (Missed tonight's episode so will catch it when they put it on the website.)

Aw, poor Bambi! I do wish I knew someone in New York!! But I can't imagine that after that was printed she is still lacking a home. Of course she is gonna hiss, living with nine other cats in a strange place with all those people filing by. Frankly, I was amazed they all did so well. They just showed the episode. I saw the promos and kept watching. They showed it at 10:12 Pacific time. I've had Animal Planet on since 9:00. Chip has been riveted. I never really watched the channel much, but I guess I have to now. He sat directly in front of the TV during Meerkat Manor. He even watched the commercials, until one with out an animal came on, then he headed to his spot on the back of the sofa. As soon as the meerkats came back, he sat on the coffee table and watched it again. When MMH came on, he was sitting next to me as we were watching "funny" animal videos. When the episode started, he started to purr - no lie! He watched the whole thing, and when I came upstairs to type this, I left him still watching the animal video show. He's a couch potato, just like me!

Nancy - Chip's interest in Animal Planet is adorable! I can just picture him sitting on the coffee table, waiting for the next Meerkat Manor segment! Someone has to adopt Bambi, and I'm sure you're right that the article got her some extra attention.

Oh no how sad. I would adopt her in a minute if I was in New York. Wonder if they would send her to San Jose???? And I want the couch with her.

im not a expert, but if shes 7 yrs old, no wonder shes defessive, and moody, tends to stay on at her comfort zone ( couch and pillow) i think if she was around some baby kittens, and could run, and cut up see and feel comfort and human love, i bet she would comeout of her shell, i bet since shes older she has been passed up many times, and resigned herself to looking out just for herself, and would be moody , if a stranger, cat are human tries to move her form her comfort zone, again if she was around baby kittens, and saw hey if i run and purr and rub against this human they will really really love me back.. i sure want her adopted, but no to a senior citizen thats not gonna ever get down on the floor with her and let her chase a cat feather toy are any toy, let her romp and feel alive again, now i better understand why we only saw her on that couch....maybe bambi will be adopted as a second vip for meow mix and have alot of human interactions.

Poor Bambi. She may have come from a home that had to give her up and she may be a little depressed. We don't know the whole story of why she ended up in a shelter. She doesn't look like the kind of cat that claws up the furniture or does damage, that's a plus right there. Usually shelters do not keep animals for months or years so she can't have been in one long, but everyone wants a kitten not a middle aged cat. Donut - glad you liked my story about one of the dogs I used to have. Some dogs must be born lazy because Jo-Jo never wanted to fetch balls or run around in the yard. Believe me we tried. LOL

Why is everyone thinking Bambi isn't adopted? I personally think she won. She was ALWAYS on a cam. I think that she won, and the story isn't official. "Technically" maybe she wasn't adopted, but couldn't it mean she won, and will be living at the Meow Mix headquarters? I want to see screencaps of them taking down the Meow Mix house!! How come nobody posted anything in that time!?!?!

It was a sad sight - first the Meow Mix posters on the window then the brown paper to seal of the view from the outside. Everyone moved on to the gathering of all the toys and pillows and dishes and mats and then the dismantling of the bed frame up in the loft - I think everyone was just sitting and watching it all, numb. Some people had closed their window, then could not get back once they realized the cams were still working. Eeyore, I think that Bambi should have won and would be a great addition to the Meow Mix headquarters. I can see it all now - in the lobby - a lovely couch with pink pillows and Bambi sleeping atop the pillows.

Well I just checked and you can still vote for the cats. I say we have the power to make Bambi the winner. We need to set up a voting BOT for Bambi. Then she will be the winner and live at Meow Mix headquarters. Off to vote for Bambi. Never mind BB All-Stars.

Eeyores, Bonza posted a link to an article in the NY Post that said Bambi was the only cat not to be adopted.

But Sea, I don't want to believe that she wasn't adopted. I think it's a Red Herring or something. The guy said she'd the only one not to be adopted, but I think that could mean she got the "job". I mean, come on, she was probably the cat who got the most camera time, she was consistently in the same spot, and people knew who she was. If anyone got votes, it was her. Mind you, OTOH, maybe the supposed "competitions" had something to do with who got evicted and maybe she failed those and didn't get the job. I dunno, if OUR group respresents cat loving webcam watchers all over the country, then I think that with the number of people watching the webcams all over the place, she was BOUND to be adopted. Look how many people HERE posted they'd adopt her if they lived close. I totally think that someone in NYC has offered, but that she wasn't "available" because she won. Who knows though....I guess we'll find out in a few weeks, when the show ends.....

I tend to think that the story was legit, and here's why. When they were extracting all the cats at the end, we could see the carriers they left in. All that we saw except for Belle and Bambi were the small flying cages, as they had to catch a plane home. There was one larger carrier that at the time they kept bringing it in and out assumed was for Bambi because she is local. I thought they were having door trouble with it and that is why they kept bringing it in and out without putting Bambi in it. However, they actually took Belle out in it, which makes sense because she was going to Philly and it would be better to drive than fly, and a bigger cage would be called for. That left Bambi, there 'til the end with shelter volunteers, and she was taken out in one of those cardboard carriers that they give you at shelters. It struck me as odd at the time that she was the only one without a carrier, but if she was headed back to the shelter vs. to a new home, it makes sense. I wonder if she was pre-adopted (as the rest of them were) and they backed out, which is why anyone in NYC interested in adopting would have been told she was unavailable. They would have had to have shot the footage of kitties with their new families (like they had for Belle) prior to the cats entering the house. I'm curious what they will have for Bambi (although if she gets a new family before her "eviction" they would have time to shoot it). Guess one way to find out would be to call the number and see if she is available. Even if she wins, she's gotta live SOMEWHERE!
