Finally, Proof Your Cat Really Is Cuter And More Special Than Other Cats

2008_6_12.kitty.jpgMah! Cats and game shows! You got chocolate in my peanut butter.

Meow Mix and Game Show Network are working on a kitty-themed contest "featuring pet parents and their cats," and Chicago auditions are this weekend. Bring your cat to Hotel Allegro between 10am and 4pm Saturday or 12pm and 6pm on Sunday. You should expect to "show off your knowledge of cats with a multiple choice test, to cheer your cat on as he shows how camera-friendly he is in a screen test, [and] to 'play nice' with your cat in a videotaped interview to see how you interact."

The whole audition will take about 10 minutes, not including how long you have to wait in line, and you have to own the cat.
