Dispatches from Pops: America's What?

Today, Animal Planet released the list of five finalists in their America's Next Cat Star search, and Sauerkraut is one of them!

So, what does Sauerkraut think? I sat down with the scowly stinker, and here's how the talk went:

Pops: So, Sauerkraut, you've been named a finalist in America's Next Cat Star search. What does this mean to you?

Sauerkraut: Isn't it feeding time?

P: No. You got fed an hour ago.

S: (silence)

P: Do you need me to repeat the question?

S: Do you need me to put another June bug in your shoe?

P: Listen here, kid. You know I love you to pieces, but it's not dinnertime yet. Answer the question.

S: Give me food or I'll hashtag you in my next post, and it won't be pretty.

P: (pause) ...Okay, I'll give you a treat, but not another full meal.

S: Deal. Now what was the question again?

P: America's Next Cat Star?

S: Oh, right, right. It means a lot. I'm honored to be chosen, and want to make sure I can tell as many humans as possible about the importance of volunteering, fostering, and adopting - especially adopting special-needs pets. Now... where's my treat?

P: Hold on, I'll go get a fresh bag. (reaches down to put on shoes, then stops) Uh, Sauerkraut... is that a June bug in my shoe?

S: ... Would you believe it just flew in from the Catio?

P: ...

S: And boy are its arms tired!
