Feline Cuisine, with your host ...



 I'd bet big money it's only a matter of time before there's a TV series about cooking for your pet -- the only question is who will get to it first, the Food Network or Animal Planet.

Then it will be only another matter of time before there's a show in which 12 pet-food cookers will live together (with their pets and their pet food ingredients) in the same house, competing for the title of best pet food cooker.

I probably won't watch either, but I did watch Sun reporter Jill Rosen's excellent video (with videographer Monica Lopossay) about attempting to become personal chef to her handsome cat, Leo.

Jill's story, along with some dog and cat food recipes, appears in the Taste section of today's Sun (and underneath the video if you visit this link).

If you are a TV executive and you are interested in Jill hosting a pet cooking show (better make that cooking for your pet show) -- as opposed to, say, Rachel Ray, Martha Stewart, or some other overexposed host -- contact me, as I am her agent.

If you are interested in casting Leo Sesame in a starring role, preferably in a major motion picture, contact Jill, as she is Leo's agent.

About Jill Rosen
Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
