| LOS ANGELES, Jun 8, 2006 (AP Online delivered by Newstex) -- The fur really could fly on TV's latest reality entry: It stars cats. Ten felines, picked from animal shelters nationwide, will live in a New York house to vie _ a la "Big Brother" or "Survivor" _ for a grand prize, in this instance an executive-level job with Meow Mix cat food. "This thing is very tongue-in-cheek," Ira Cohen, the company's director of advertising and marketing, said Thursday. Until the cats wash themselves. The project will be shown in three-minute segments in the 9 p.m. EDT hour Friday on the Animal Planet channel for 10 consecutive weeks, starting June 16. It had yet to be decided if the segments from the Webcam-equipped "Meow Mix House" on Madison Avenue will air at the same time each night. |

| #4 Are they neutered? Un-neutered cats are a nuisance, they scar and maim each others in bloody fights over territory, p*ss everywhere, kill kittens, and have only one goal : SEX. All in all, they behave very much like streetgang members, with a few adjustments (p*ss = graffitis & tags, kittens = passerbys). |
