The Plot, Courtesy of Fox:
Inspired by BBC Studios’ British format Miranda, Call Me Kat stars Mayim Bialik as a woman who struggles every day against society and her mother to prove that she can live a happy and fulfilling life, despite still being single at 39 — which is why she recently spent her entire savings to open a cat café in Louisville, KY.
