All Cat Version of ‘Big Brother’ Canceled After Two Episodes

It seemed like a smart idea. People love cats; people love reality TV. Combine the two and let the cameras roll 24/7. People will eat it up.

Big Brother: Cat House was born.

Turns out, though, the secret life of kitties is kind of boring. They sleep a lot and rarely do anything interesting. Plus, they’re fiercely independent and don’t like being told what to do.

“Once they knew the camera was there, they kind of refused to do anything,” explained executive producer Marko Wilder. “They just sort of napped all day and walked around like they were too good for TV.”

The network canceled Big Brother: Cat House after just two episodes. Eleven more were filmed for season one, but Wilder said they have no plans to air them.

“I don’t think we’ll even do a DVD,” he told The Fluffington Post via email. “We have over 500 hours of footage of cats just sleeping. I don’t know what we were thinking.”
