Joe's Cat Cam

Joe's Cat Cam! Hello All,

The cat seems to be getting curious about the condo again. I think he's finally getting over his irrational fear of mouse-shaped toys tied to elastic strings.

Here's what happened:
8:30 PM: The cat arrives, eats food, and drinks Ellen water.
10:00 PM: The cat eats.
10:45 PM: The cat eats again.
10:50 PM: The cat walks to the bottom of the cat condo and starts sniffing around. He then looks up at Level 1 of the cat condo for a little bit. He is about to walk away, but quickly stretches up to peek over the ledge. He then starts to walk away, looks back up and then leaves.
1:40 AM: The cat drinks Ellen water, eats, drinks more Ellen water and leaves.

That's all!

-Joe

Is Smokey still around?

Posted by Ragina | June 2, 2010 8:07 AM

Where is Smokey? Please let us know.

WHERE IS SMOKEY THE CAT? HE HASN'T BEEN ON THE CAM 2 FOR A WHILE, NOR HAS JOE GIVEN ANY UPDATE. WHY DOESN'T ANYONE LET US KNOW ABOUT SMOKEY?

I was wondering where the kitty is since the bowls and condo are no longer on the set. I was concerned, so I decided to check out the website. Thanks for having the webcam and Joe, thanks for taking the time each day to keep us updated.

Where has the studio kitty been? Haven't seen him in some time and noticed the condo, food and water is missing from the set.

Hi Joe,
Is kitty fed during Easter Break? I don't see any of his bowls of food and water just now.
Happy Easter Monday Joe!

Dear Joe,

I am wondering, how does Smokey get in and out?

Kiss the Kitty for me!

Love, Susan

Extended Footage of the Mystery Cat should be 3rd on the "Most Commented On" column - there are approximately 1205 posts there!

Why has it been removed from that list???

Posted by Debi | April 8, 2009 7:55 AM

PLEASE have Smokey's Halo food bowl and Ellen water filled today. I'm afraid they are just about emptied. Nothing has been touched since Thursday.

Thank you.

Watching and reading about smokey the cat is actually more enjoyable than the rubbish being served up to us on Australian tv at the moment. Love the kitty.

Posted by Chris | April 8, 2009 5:26 AM

I am wondering if the cat is spayed/neutered? If not, it needs to be before nature takes its course and Smokey drags his/her wife/husband and children on the stage looking for food! June is adopt a shelter cat month. Please make another cat as lucky as Smokey and visit your local shelter. I didn't think I saw Smokey's cat tree last night when I watched the show that I had recorded. Is it there???

Posted by Judy | April 7, 2009 5:51 PM

Joe,

PLEASE have someone fill up Smokey's Halo food bowl and give him some Ellen water. He just stopped by at 7:46 p.m. EDT to eat (?) and then drank a little tap water at 7:49 p.m. EDT before leaving to the right of Ellen's chair and off to the right somewhere.

Posted by Debi | April 7, 2009 4:55 PM

Joe,
Can you please tell us what happened to the mouse that Ellen snipped off of its string and covered in catnip? Also, what does Smokey do in-between eating and drinking? Does he ever check out the furniture or sleep in the studio? My guess is since spring is here with nicer weather - he spends more time outdoors and might have some live mice to play with! Perhaps if CATS didn't put out so many feeding stations, he and some friends would come into the studio more often - but then again, I don't know if they want a bunch of cats hanging around. One might be enough.

Posted by 'fan31 | April 7, 2009 11:29 AM

Joe -- are Smokey's bowls going to be filled today? His Halo food bowl has to be near empty along with the Ellen water.

thanks ...

Dear Joe,
I too would like to thank you for the posts. So many people are watching this cat. The posts help alot because the web cam only shoots every 15 sec. doesn't seem like alot of time but must be, because Smokey seems to just pop on the stage then off again. I did see him twice, once leaving by the back corner of the stage and once down the fron t like he was headed for the audience. I also saw him enter once going up the stairs by the welcome mat. He doesn't seem to be hanging out as much. Maybe the lights are too bright. I know you are keeping them up so we can see but it seems they use to be a little softer.I too would like to know about the mouse and to have the camera moved. It was blocking the condo and when sombody finally got the word it was moved completly out of the way. Now it is creeping back in. Once again thank you so much for the posts.
Sincerely, Faith

I wonder if Smokey and the easter bunny are pals???

two people didn't come to work today. I guess they don't care about their jobs. This is my grocery list I made up today. Garlic, bannanas, honey. And .. no I"m not mixing it all together.. however.. someone might think that may taste good.. but not to me! I am making brownies right now... I have a chocolate craving!!!!

I got to thinking now that Smokey is famous and all.. he probably likes his privacy! Chocolate aroma filleth meez condo!!! Just took out the 8X8 pan of goodness! :) Crap.. theirs nothing on tv and I'm bored! Can you tell!!! LOL Sipping some purple antioxidant tea. Big Bang Theory is a rerun tonight. BUMMER. I like Sheldon.. I think he's the skinny dude that gets really upset about his seat and if someone sits in his spot he makes a check mark against you! and if they forget his specific order request on his teriyaki.. he gets upset!!! He's very funny!!!! I think he's the only one that hasn't had more than one girlfriend. I don't know.. its hard to keep track of all the dating and non dating that goes on! :)

JOE:
We should play "Where in the World Is Ellen?" The first one that guesses gets to meet Ellen! I guess she's with Oprah doing a photo shoot for the cover of "O" !!!!! If I'm wrong then how about the person that thought of the game gets to meet Ellen! Maybe she finally went to Australia with Portia!!!! But I would want longer than a week.. so I say she went to Chicag-E for Oprah!

I was just thinking about that today.. this where is Ellen game. I think it would be fun! A guessing game!!! I also wonder if cats run away from home for Hollywood like humans do to strike it.. to find fame? Perhaps Smokey ran away from home to Hollywood and now is famous and likes his privacy from the Ellen set.. the Smokey set after hours and thus keeps his whereabouts from the set private. He hardly does any interviews as well. That's how private Smokey is! He likes to be on the down low! Maybe someday he'll talk! LOL

what does go on in that little cat head of Smokey??? Will we ever know...........

Thanks, Joe! for keeping us up to date on Smokey! What a lucky, spoiled, kitty!

Here is a post from a while ago from the original blog on Smokey (go to Extended Footage of the Mystery Cat in the search bar if interested)

"Regarding Smokey's name, the Kitty Watch '09 family here on the message board did not name him. There is a Warner Brother's organization called C.A.T.S. Inc., which cares for the backlot kitties, including Ellen's studio kitty.. and when a couple of their employees spotted the familiar gray fur baby on Ellen's show, they made sure to write in to tell us about him. They said Ellen's kitty has been roaming the backlot for 4 years, is fixed, and is named Smokey. You can read more about them at catsatthestudios.com.

"Did anyone see the food crew? BUT, it's nice to know (per C.A.T.S. Inc.) that there are kitty food stations all around the backlot. So even if our baby cleans out Ellen's stash, he still won't go hungry!"

I have not seen the nice lady fill Smokey's food with Halo cat food since Thursday afternoon. I wouldn't be surprised if it is empty or very near empty as of Monday evening ( 5:40 p.m. EDT.)
