Cats are known for being independent, but nine cats currently at Battersea have put their paws behind a letter to Channel 4 asking for the show, 8 Out of 10 Cats, to be renamed 9 Out of 10 Cats.
This comes after new research from pet food brand, WHISKAS, showed that 9 out of 10 cats prefer its food.
Among them are Joe Whiskason, Sarah Meowlican and Rob Beckcat – three cats named after panellists from the show. And all nine are looking for loving new homes.
Meet the nine cats below and find out more about their personalities and the Battersea adoption process.
