MTM Enterprises was the American television production company founded in 1969 by Mary Tyler Moore and Grant Tinker, known for shows including The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Hill Street Blues. Its closing logo used Mimsie the cat in a circular ribbon frame, a direct parody of the MGM lion, and the meow became instantly recognisable to TV viewers. Spoof edits and lamp versions circulated on meme soundboards, keeping the joke alive alongside later logo sounds like the Netflix intro that audiences now quote as shorthand for a show ending.
About this sound
The MTM Enterprises logo spoof with the cat meow is a short television parody sound people often use for funny ending credits and meme outros.
This clip recreates the famous MTM Enterprises television logo ending, where the expected lion roar is replaced by a small cat sitting inside the film ribbon circle. A short, formal logo sting plays before the cat gives a clear, slightly plaintive meow that lands as the punchline. The contrast between the grand, old studio presentation and the tiny household pet sound is what makes it funny. It feels like a production company signing off with deliberate anticlimax, turning a familiar piece of TV nostalgia into a quick, self aware joke about low budget endings and homemade shows.
