Houston cat stars on feline Big Brother

52005_cat.jpgA cat named Molly from the Houston Humane Society began competing yesterday in what is either a genius or awful move in reality programming. Meow Mix cat food sent Molly, as well as 9 other cats, to New York to live together in a house where they'll be voted off by viewers watching a webcast.

The house has ten cats, each from a different city and each with a distinct personality. Romeo from Los Angeles, for example, is the house's Lothario. You'll have to take Meow Mix's word for it, though; so far, the four webcams have just confirmed what everyone knew about cats-they sleep all day.

Molly came to the Humane Society from a family who said they could no longer care for her. If she wins, she'll become Meow Mix's feline vice president of research and development.
