The verdict is in on Seven's much-hyped Restaurant Revolution and the winners are ... a bunch of cats.

Seven will next week replace its ratings dud in the key Tuesday timeslot with the premiere of Cats Make You Laugh Out Loud, "a compilation of the most hilarious and outrageous cat-themed videos on the internet".

Feline groovy ... the new show mines the internet for thigh-slapping antics from "our furry, purry friends".

In a move that will presumably leave rivals Nine laughing – possibly out loud, deploying the feline funsters means Seven is effectively waving the white flag in its food fight with Nine's The Hotplate.
