Woolery, executive produced by David Doyle, and sponsored by Meow Mix, premiered as a one-time special on November 15, 2008. Reruns of the program aired four times throughout the rest of the month. Woolery expressed excitement at the prospects of the special, stating that the show "was designed to prove or disprove" that owners know everything they think they know about cats. Steve Ochi, a writer for the show, called the project a "success", though a minor incident did occur when a camera-shy cat forced the producers to use a stuffed cat for some shots. No new episodes have been produced since the original special. Reception Carrie Grosvenor of About Entertainment gave Think Like a Cat one star out of five. Grosvenor thought that the show should be "put down", saying that its only pros were Woolery's hosting and the fact that the episode was "only 30 minutes long". Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times was equally unimpressed, calling the special "not only one of the most embarrassing half-hours in the history of television, [but] also a significant step toward the collapse of civilized society". Genzlinger also called the games "idiotic" and added that the infomercial feeling of the show was its "overarching problem". Despite the criticism, over 1,000,000 combined viewers watched the show at some point during its five airings.
