'Keeping Up With The Kattarshians' is Iceland's hottest reality TV show

If you're anything like this writer, you're already exhausted from the emotional roller coaster that is this season of "The Bachelor." Fortunately, there's a new show in Iceland that offers all the intrigue, drama and suspense of your favorite reality series. And by that, we mean it's an online livestream of four kittens living in an oversized custom-made dollhouse. It's a simple recipe for a show, but "Keeping Up With The Kattarshians" has taken Iceland by storm.

"Keeping Up With The Kattarshians" follows four kittens, Gudni, Briet, Stubbur, and Ronja as they sleep, play, sleep, eat, and sleep. It's a real rags-to-riches story for the four kittens. They were found abandoned in a factory by a local animal shelter, which nursed them back to health and cooperated with Icelandic broadcaster Nutiminn to create the show and provide the stars.

Though it's only been out for a few weeks, it's already become Nutiminn's most popular web show.

"There's about 1,000 people watching at any given moment," Nutiminn editor Atli Fannar Bjarkason told Foreign Policy. "And we are getting more viewers by the day."

However, it is defintely more intelligent than episodes of the Kardashians.

the idea was to find them homes - these have been adopted and another set of kittens will move in for season 2.
