Synopsis

Ivo Graham invites cats, and their accompanying humans, to have a fun day out.

Each show is made up of three rounds. In the first, the human decorates a corner of a room with toys and decor to amuse and entertain the cat. Ivo awards marks based on how well the cat corner looks, Cat the vet gives points on how well it meets a cat's needs and desires.

Hey, I've got my tube system, it's better than the District line.

A physical challenge for round two: a penalty shoot-out, a cat walk along the Walk of Famous Cats, or leap through holes in a massive cardboard cutout of Ivo Graham's face.

Having walked through all four holes on the bottom level, this cat is now going up in the world.

There's a quiz to end the show, and if the cat doesn't know the answer, their human can place them on an answer.

House of Cats is sponsored by a cat litter manufacturer, and part of the show involves the humans preparing a litter tray, and the cats using it. Points are awarded for each part of the tray used, bonuses if a secret part is used.

Whichever cat has the most points wins a golden litter tray, and its own weight in litter (plus the weight of the accompanying human).

House of Cats is light and fluffy. It sneaks in some gentle education, Cat explains why the cat corners are good, and captions give information with humour.

Trivia
