A reality show for cats
Housecat Housecall debuts at 9 a.m. Saturday, June 7 on Animal Planet.
Here's how it works. On each episode, veterinarian Dr. Katrina Warren and her team visit three cat-loving families in search of a behavioral solution. Ever hear of a cat going on a hunger strike? What about excessive licking?
I certainly know all about being awakened by a cat in the middle of the night.
Dr. Katrina, as she's called on the show, is the kind of vet we'd all love, complete with an Australian accent and a resume that includes fashion modeling.
The companion web site, housecathousecall.com, offers expert advice from Purina Cat Chow and information for applying for the 2009 season.
