In Animal Planet's "Meow Mix House," ten shelter cats live together.
The fur really flies as they "compete" to become Meow Mix's "official taste-tester."
The Early Show co-anchor Julie Chen hosts "Big Brother," whose house's inhabitants are humans. Season seven features Big Brother All-Stars.
She says "Meow Mix House" just might provide the "purr-fect" competition to "Big Brother."
Chen toured New York City's Meow Mix House, and chatted with Tom Shillue, the standup comedian who hosts that show.
No animals were harmed in the making of this reality show.
The "cat-estants' are pitted against each other in a variety of competitions.
"We have the purr-off," Shillue told Chen, "to see which cat can purr the longest. // (2:06:56) you have to be a well-rounded cat." The fgelines also go at each other, for instance, in a climb-a-thon.
