While it’s not exactly the Montauk Monster, FishbowlLA has the exclusive answer to the burning question regarding the kitten picture from a “Morning Show with Mike and Juliet” clip last week.

The story (an inexplicable cut to a cat eating spaghetti during an interview about binge drinking) was first raised when it was featured on E!’s The Soup on Friday. We’ll let FBLA’s Tina Dupuy provide the FOX spokesperson’s response, but let’s just say it wasn’t a mistake — it was a “bleep photo”…and there’s “more of those in the future.” Well, good.

Meanwhile, the “Spaghetti Cat” has taken off — you can order articles of clothing featuring the random image on Cafe Press.
