the phrase that comes to mind khereva June 9 2006, 02:09:45 UTC

from too much time on online fora, is "man what."

madspark June 9 2006, 03:20:50 UTC

And the losers get...

Euthanized? Given to a good home? Returned to the shelter?

tia_tarina June 9 2006, 03:32:49 UTC

Adopted out.

The winner gets a big endorcement deal with with Meow Mix.

khereva June 9 2006, 07:31:12 UTC

uh huh.

And the cats know the stakes of the competition (or even that there is a competition) how? And are they, erm, fixed (the cats, not the competition)?

Not that this news is a surprise, mind you. ("Let the spraying commence!")

I have problems with this... tx_hive_queen June 9 2006, 13:13:59 UTC

Well if they think that cat winner can make better and more informed decisions than the current managment of Meow Mix, then I say, let " 'em claw it out"!

I mean, they are going to pay the cat aren't they? If so, who owns the cat? It's not like a cat can open a bank account.

Like "Survivor" huh? What tests are they going to do? Here cat, eat this bug? They do that already!

Too many questions. Keep me updated will you. I have a headache now.

Actually, it sounds more interesting than the other reality shows mentioned. I'd love to see people try to get the cats to do their stupid stunts only to get a blareful glare as the cat goes back to taking a bath.

Cat news indeed! (from Rich S.) texanfan June 9 2006, 18:01:10 UTC

The other folks at work ImmEEEEdiately found me and read this to me this morning as soon as they found it in one of our papers. Yes, they know me well.

Every loser gets placed into an adoptive home, it's the winner and runner up that get 'jobs' at Meow Mix. Which is darned funny, I'm all for it. Even if it is a marketing ploy. I'm all for kitty CEOs!

And you don't need cable to watch the episodes, tune in using your flash-enabled browser. Only... I kinda refuse to load Flash on my computers so I'll check 'em out elsewhere.

I mean really; cats *and* reality tv.

Rich, it's got your chocolaty fingerprints all over it.

Come on, fess up.

Next they'll be 'Overhauling' Ramblers on TLC.
