Needed a refill for the neighborhood kitty food bin, so went out and
bought some Meow Mix today, and found a CD for Meow TV inside.
http://www.meowtv.com/index.html

First time I'd heard or seen anything about it, but from reading on
the press link guess it's been around for about a year. Looks like
there may be some interesting. Also a couple video clips, one a cute
public service announcement about neutering and the other just clips
from the Meow TV episode.

Be warned though, it took quite a while to download on my system with
52 modem.

Just a followup to my OP. On the http://www.meowmix.com/ page to you
can download a Felix like virtual cat (sorry, I think it's another
Windows only program). You can change the color of the cat (can you
believe they don't have tuxedo as a choice!?!), have it meow, and when
you right click on the cat you can make it play, brush it, take a nap
or feed it. The girls ignored the meow, but Rocky perked up and looked
around the first time - after that no one paid any attention. I have
it running right now, and looks like Felix does more on his own. This
one mainly walks around, jumps once in a while, lick its foot every so
often, and uses the litterbox.

It's also a more stylized, less "realistic" looking cat. I like Felix
better.

??? What do you mean "download"? It's a CD-ROM - when I found mine in the
bag (ekshully, two of them), I just put it in and played it.

You're right, but I downloaded the two video clips from the net to see
if they were new or different from what I'd gotten on the CD. After
downloading I found I'd wasted my time, since the neutering PSA clip
was already on the CD. The other video clip is sort of a preview of
the CD, nothing new on it either.

This is an extensive, clever production. I tried to get TuTu
interested in the characters, but no luck. However, whenever the meow
comes through, she starts listening and hunting for the source. At
first she was almost frantic. Now she is very watchful and still
tries to determine the source.

Thanks for the URL. MLB
