PETA's "Sex and the Kitty" ad features both real kittens and animatronic cats engaging in or observing "steamy" activity.

A new campaign featuring cats engaged in the act of making kittens is apparently too frisky for some television networks which are banning the "kitty porn."

The public service announcement, titled "Sex and the Kitty," a take-off of the new movie "Sex and the City," is produced by PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

The spot shows animatronic cats in heat, to say the least, as it focuses attention on the need for animal birth control.

"The women of 'Sex and the City' have nothing on our kitties," said Daphna Nachminovitch, vice president of PETA. "When you consider the millions of unwanted cats and dogs born each year, it's clear that the purrfect solution is spaying and neutering companion animals."

The animal-rights group issued a release, claiming its PSA was banned from MTV and most networks for being "too steamy," but said the ad "will run in Seattle this week on KSTW-TV."

However, when contacted by WND, the Seattle station was not so sure.

"We don't have the spot yet and we'll definitely take a look at it before we put it in the rotation," said a woman who logs in each PSA.

"We screen these for content," she indicated. "We can't guarantee it will air."

The campaign is getting mixed reaction on Internet messageboards, including:

• Although the ad did not include authentic caterwauling, it is a tad on the graphic side. This certainly sets up hundreds of possibilities for the entire advertising community. I think that Trojan will, pardon the expression, hop on top of this concept.

• That is hilarious! Props to PETA (for once). It gets the message across without alienating its audience.
