Attention, outgoing felines and their human companions: The Meow Mix Game Show is having auditions tomorrow and Sunday to find contestants for "the world’s first game show to test how well people can think like their cat." Sleep...groom...chase a fly...sleep.
We're told the audition includes a written quiz on cat knowledge/trivia (for the humans, we imagine) and then a Hollywood-style screen test to see how the person-putty tat pair look on camera. For every team that auditions, Meow Mix will donate a pound of Wholesome Goodness® cat food to New York’s Animal Haven shelter.
Ultimately, one team from New York will be flown to Los Angeles for the game show taping (to air on the Game Show network in November), competing against teams from seven other cities for the chance to win a million-dollar jackpot and $100,000 for a local animal shelter. More details after the jump.
WHO: Auditions are open to all pet parents over the age of 18, and their cats. All cats must be transported in carriers.Find out more at the Meow Mix website. And two years ago, Meow Mix turned a Midtown store front into a kitty abode.
WHEN: Saturday, June 21, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, June 22, Noon to 6 p.m.
WHERE: Helen Mills Theater, 137-139 West 26th Street (between 6th and 7th Avenue)

Aw man, if my cat didn't have conflicting plans, we'd totally rock this game show!
I'm sad my cats are only very expressive with me--if I auditioned with one, I'd know she was thinking "I hate my human so much for dragging me out of the house."
Being excellent at thinking like my cat, I can assure the Meow Mix people that he has no desire whatsoever to sit in a cat carrier, go through airport security and fly five hours to Los Angles to be manhandled by strangers and then forced to do ridiculous things under bright lights.
Do I win?
Ha!
Yeah, I'm about as much of a "crazy cat lady" as can be, and even I know putting a whole lot of cats in one room = disaster. Besides, I have two cats and they can't stand to be separated... so I'd have to bring both cats, which is a MAJOR PAIN.
