Because it's, like, news and stuff

TV show for cats to air on cable.

"Meow TV," developed by the Meow Mix Co., debuts Friday at 6:30 p.m. on the Oxygen Network. It's the first show targeted at cats. Not cat lovers. Cats.

The half-hour program was developed after research showed that one-third of cats enjoy watching television, said Ira Cohen, marketing director for Meow Mix.

"It's real fun," Cohen said. "The mission of the Meow Mix Co. is to keep cats happy, so we developed this program for cats and the people they tolerate."

The feline-friendly show will air on the Oxygen Network several times in June.

Local workers at the manufacturing plant offered input on the show, which features cat yoga, cat haiku and sporadic video of squirrels and fish.


Side note: Looking back at the past couple days, I've been doing a lot of linking and running, which I'm not keen on doing. I've also ranted about Team Bush, which (again) it not something I want to be doing.

I don't have a lot of time to write long, coherent essays. I'm brewing up short stories and, as always, my novel. I don't have a lot of time to devote to the blog, which I hear calling my name. So, I get antsy, wanting to post. In the back of my mind, I'm looking for material, fodder to get my juices a-flowing. I spend way too much on news sites and left-leaning blogs and, well...you can guess what happens next.

Anyway, I'm taking a break from the wired world to travel out to Idaho to see my poet friend Cori. Mrs. Skob is out of town, and I'd been meaning to drop in the hip happenings of Moscow, Idaho for a while.

Just to let you know how bleeding edge Moscow is...get your cloned mule here.

And if that didn't get your goat (heh, I'm so funny), get ready for singing Orcs.
