If you’re one of the many who believe that reality television has gone to the dogs, think again.  Iceland’s hottest reality TV show, Keeping Up With the Kattarshians, is here to change your mind.

Created by Inga Lind Karlsdóttir in partnership with the Icelandic Cat Protection Society, Keeping Up With the Kattarshians is the world’s first online reality show about cats.

Featuring four nine-months-old kittens, the Big Brother-like show is a continuous live-stream of the teeny weeny Nordic kittens and their exploits.

The cuddly stars live in a dollhouse outfitted with multiple hidden cameras which enable the viewers to enjoy all their antics, from fighting over scratch posts and sleeping in mini bunk beds to chilling out in pod chairs and plotting world domination while admiring their own pictures on the wall.

“It took about a year to put together because we wanted all the animal welfare authorities to approve it,” said Karlsdóttir in an interview with Vice’s Broadly. “And here we are, a year later, with the first reality TV show starring kittens. All the people who were laughing then aren’t laughing now,” she added.

The feline reality show has built a strong fan-base – with cat lovers from all across the world falling for these achingly cute kittens. “It’s been amazing. I thought it was a cute idea but I never thought it would go so big. It’s more than I could hope for,” Karlsdóttir told Broadly.

The Icelandic Cat Protection Society hopes that the one-of-a-kind show would help increase awareness about their homeless animals. According to KUWTK’s producer, the addictive stream has created the highest-ever traffic to the Icelandic broadcaster Nutiminn’s website that live-streams the lives of the rescue kittens.

Moreover, the adorable reality show is already helping raise the profile of animal adoption in the Nordic country. So much so that all four kittens have now been adopted, making way for more orphan kittens to move in.
