Ninety million cat owners in America somehow manage to love their furry felines despite the frequent mood swings. If you think it would be nice to understand the uniquely wonderful cat you adore so much, consider enrolling in the Meow Mix A-CAT-EMY which is kicking off a "fall semester" nation-wide tour.

"What are you talking about, Rachel?"

Okay... here's the deal.

Just in time for back-to-school, celebrity sponsors have teamed up with pet experts, veterinarians and even a pet psychic, to teach you more about your mysterious friends. Lectures on cat behavior are offered along with fun cat-inspired activities like toy crafting and owner-pet photo shoots. (Just think of your holiday cards, people.)

Meow Mix will donate a pound of cat food to local animal shelters for each person who attends, so if I wasn't deathly allergic to kitties, I'd be there supporting the cause.

Happy cat decoding,
