C4 have now got involved with the Whiskas campaign for 9 Out of 10 Cats (details here) but have gone for 9 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown – see Instagram for pictures etc. from various episodes.

They’ve got a clip from one of my favourite early episodes from July 26 2013 – S2 Ep1, which has Jimmy trying to herd cats.

He literally has a basket of kittens and is (comedically) hopping around, trying to get them back in the baskets.

I’ve found the full clip, below. Adorable (and I’m on team Dog).

Details of the show’s name origin are on the 8 Out of 10 Cats series list (here) and the follow on list for Cats Countdown is here.
