PHOENIX — See the laser light, chase the laser light, win a prize: A cat from the Phoenix area has been selected as the nation’s top “cathlete” in a fun online competition.
The Meow Mix contest asked owners to submit their irresistible cat moment. Miricle Forney, of Buckeye, and her cat, Panda, beat out nearly 25,000 entries to claim the top prize.
The video shows Panda chasing a laser pointer light all over the place. She beat out other contestants that jumped and boxed with a Christmas ornament.
The video was part of the feline food maker’s first-ever Cat’s Meow Awards that encourages owners to share fun videos of their cat. Any who do automatically receive a free bag of Meow Mix’s new treats.
The Phoenix area is no stranger to feline fame. Grumpy Cat, the animal that became so popular online that it is now the focus of toys, a wax figurine and even a holiday movie, lives with her owner in the Valley.
