I’ve just been told by Burnell & Betsy that the "Extraordinary Animals" episode I filmed with the BBC film crew back in March is all set to be aired in the UK tomorrow night. I’m so excited! My many fans in the UK will, of course, get the first glimpse of the 30 minute episode focusing on moi, including their interview with cat behaviorist Beth Adelman. As you may recall from my previous post on the subject, Beth caught the train down from New York City to spend the day with me and those three adorable British fellows – Mike, Simon, and Neil.

But my loyal US fans shouldn’t despair. All 17 episodes of "Extraordinary Animals" will be shown in the US on Animal Planet starting on June 13th. As of right now, I don’t know exactly what date my episode will air, but you can check your TV guide. And I’ll let everyone know as soon as I find out. (Click image to view larger version.)

I'm gonna be on the BBC…

In additional Nora Mews, a film crew from Blink Television in the UK flew in from England recently for a two-day filming of me for an upcoming episode of “Extraordinary Animals.” Mike, Simon, and Neil arrived in Philly with clipboard, camera, and boom mic in hand to capture me being me, and to interview Betsy about my extraordinary ability. They even brought in animal behaviorist Beth Adelman from New York City to meet with yours truly and to discuss on camera her views on why I do what I do. It was great fun, and the guys were brilliant!

Winner of DogCatemy Award…

B&B-accepting-the-DogCatemy-Award-for-me-from-theWell, Betsy and Burnell went to the 2007 DogCatemy Awards Gala in New York last night. Three videos were in the running for “Best Musical.” One of them was the piece that Debbye Turner did about me for the CBS Early Show a while back. And guess what? We won!! B & B joined Debbye at the podium to accept the award on my behalf. I don’t travel very well, so I stayed home and mostly slept. Anyway, now it’s on my piano. Debbye got one too. Katie Lee Joel, Billy Joel’s wife, was one of the presenters, and she told everyone that Billy loves me. In fact, according to what my mom told me, he’s obsessed with me, and likes to watch my videos a lot. Maybe someday I can play a duet with him. That would be fun. Wouldn’t it? A lot of people there had seen my videos. I kind of wish I was there, but I heard there were a lot of dogs there, and so maybe I’m glad I stayed home.
