TAMPA - Calling all cat lovers. Here's a game show for you.

The producers of "The Meow Mix Game Show" are coming to Tampa on June 28 and 29 for a talent hunt.

They are looking for the "purrfect cat-testants" to appear on the world's first game show to test how well people can think like their cat.

The 30-minute program, in which cats and their humans will compete as a team, will air on Game Show Network in November.

The audition process will include a quiz (for people) on general feline knowledge as well as a Hollywood-style screen test to see how well cat and human appear on camera.

Auditions are open to all pet parents older than 18 and their cats. All cats must be transported in carriers. The tryouts will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 28 and noon to 6 p.m. June 29 at the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay, 2900 Bayport Drive.

One team from Tampa will be flown to Los Angeles for the taping in August to compete against "cat-testants" from seven other cities for a chance to win $1 million — plus $100,000 for a local animal shelter.

A complete list of rules is available at www.meowmix.com.
