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......

Each week, people can vote for......
