Mew is a cat toy who lives in the playroom with Rugby Tiger. Since he is a cat toy, he has difficulties being accepted in the world of "people toys". One problem is that he smells like catnip, with the other toys sometimes exclaiming "Ew! It's Mew!", although as he explains, "Cat toys are supposed to smell like catnip!".

He first appeared in the 1986 special The Christmas Toy as Ouija's toy. He later starred in the 1994 spin-off series The Secret Life of Toys, where he has arms and legs instead of wheels.

A puppet of Mew went on display in The Jim Henson Exhibition at Museum of the Moving Image in 2017.
