		<description>Thought people on the board would be interested in this show on Animal Planet: HIT REALITY-BASED CAT TV SERIES, HOUSECAT HOUSECALL, LEADS THE WAY FOR CAT PROGRAMMINGGround-Breaking Show Presented by Purina Cat Chow Returns For A Second Season of Helping Cat Lovers Resolve Their Feline DilemmasST. LOUIS, MO, MAY 7, 2009 &amp;mdash; Cats have once again solidified their position as America&amp;rsquo;s favorite pets by proving that a show dedicated entirely to their well-being can successfully break through the canine-dominated television world.  Housecat Housecall, one of the first feline reality-based programs, is returning to Animal Planet on June 6 for a second season after capturing the hearts and minds of cat-loving audiences around the country. The weekly show, presented by Purina Cat Chow, profiles cat-owning families as they work with host Dr. Katrina Warren, BVSc, and her expert team, which includes Purina Cat Chow Mentor and Board Certified Veterinary Behaviorist Dr. Karen Sueda, DVM , and Dr. Rich Goldstein, DVM, to resolve their most pressing feline matters. From unruly behavior to lifestyle adjustments, Housecat Housecall features real cats, real people and real veterinarians working through a wide range of common cat behaviors.Episodes of Housecat Housecall will air over a 12-week period on Saturdays at 10:30a.m. E/P with weekly &amp;ldquo;encores&amp;rdquo; each Sunday at 8a.m. E/P beginning June 6th. In each episode, Dr. Katrina visits two cat-owning homes, observes the cats in their natural environment and recommends appropriate plans of action for improving the situation. For cat owners seeking even more credible advice beyond the show, they can visit www.housecathousecall.com to find practical solutions for their individual feline situations. The website allows cat owners to share stories about their own quirky felines and gives them access to Purina Cat Chow Mentors, cat care specialists who are available to share helpful advice any day of the week, at any time.  The site also provides show information, bios on the families and episode air dates.   </description>
