Meow Mix: Cat Big Brother

By John Freeman on June 13, 2006

(Old post reinstated, ignore if RSS checking) Maybe they’ll use famous cats like Data’s Spot, from Star Trek, eliminating the opposition with a well-pawed phaser…

ANIMAL PLANET TO LAUNCH CAT BIG BROTHER SHOW

A US cable network is hoping to wow cat fans with a new feline BIG BROTHER show. Animal Planet bosses will air MEOW MIX HOUSE for 10 weeks this summer (06).

* The hour-long weekly show will feature 10 cats sharing the same apartment and competing for Best Purr and Top Post-climber.

* A panel of judges will vote a cat out of the house every week.

I didn’t actually believe this at first, but there’s actually a web site about the show at: www.meowmixhouse.com
