‘Christmas Cats TV’: Crazy cat lady, elf and cats now streaming live
Quick! The “crazy cat lady” is live streaming with a guy dressed as an elf and a room full of cats.
It’s the third and final day of “Christmas Cats TV,” intended to induce viewers to adopt one of the cats on screen. When last I checked in, the woman and her pointy-eared sidekick were playing with toy swords, with the music of the holiday season as a soundtrack.
North Shore Animal League America, based in New York, teamed with Sony’s Legacy Recordings to stream what’s billed as a wacky grandma “rocking, knitting and hanging out with a room full of adoptable cats.” For eight hours a day, Wednesday through Friday, “Christmas Cats TV” has been streaming.
This is the first year for the adoption tactic, a spokeswoman told The Times on Friday, and it wraps up at 2 p.m. PST. No word yet on whether any of the cats (read the bios for some of the kitties) have been adopted.
The league says the stream is interactive and that those involved will respond to tweets. Indeed, “Grandma” was using a dry-erase board and holding up shout-outs and other messages.
It’s the absolute last day to watch @ChristmasCatsTV! Don’t miss out, tune in RIGHT MEOW: https://t.co/KIc5XX89C4— Sony (@Sony) December 6, 2013
