All I could think of was how scared some of the cats must have been, that they could hurt themselves sticking their heads in things like the kitten did and possible get stuck, possibly breaking glass being around the dishes and lightbulbs and cut a paw, possibly chewing on a piece of fringe and ingesting it, and the damage to the furniture should a kitty decide to mark it, especially given the number of cats involved, were the kitties all tested for FELV/FIV/FIP before filming? :eek:

I'm probably an over worrier:rolleyes: but those thoughts went through my mind when I watched it.

I'm with catlady and taz-zoee --- I would be a worried meowmie if my kitty got loose in Ikea!

Moosmom! Did you notice the Sphynx at 0:42 with the light bulbs?

Look how they breeze right past the Poang armchairs at 0:25 ... I was thinking about buying one but now maybe I won't :eek:!

I hadn't seen this before. Very cute.:)

That was so cute. Thanks for sharing!

I would be scared as well- but it's 100 kitties in one big IKEA- and so I am sure whoever wanted to hide in a sofa found one. It looks as if the owners of the kitties were there.
And I know that Orion would find it a nice mix between stress and excitement ;)

Cassiesmom,

Did I notice the Sphynx with the light bulbs??? Silly girl!!! That's what I waited for!!! I loved it! I watched Cats 101 yesterday (for the millionth time) and was glued to my tv when the sphynxes came on!!

They are like potato chips. Once you have one, you'll crave another!!!

Love this! :love: (and I love Ikea, too) Our house has LOTS of Ikea.

:D :D :D If it's not good enough for the cats, it's not good enough for you?

Those hundred Cats are getting good training as Awesome Pet Angels as Our Awesome Angels Army Companions :love::love::love: love Furniture Stores and Bedding Shops where they all gather to snooze in luxury :cool::cool::cool:
Especially the Lost Pets and Animals who never had a nice place to snooze before , they love to sleep on softness and comfort :D:D:D:D

What a wonderful thought! More venues for the pampered Angel army. :love::love:

They sure handled that adventure quite well! I had expected several fights - a few was about to happen, though.

Let's hope more people will want a cat after seeing it. :)

The other thing I thought about was what about any customers that go into that store, or buy any of the display items later that are highly allergic to cats?

This has been going around the office all week. What a happy bunch of kitties with complete freedom to curl up anywhere they wanted. Great commercial!

Donna, I was wondering if you saw this! The little sphynx was definitely the star of the show!

I thought the commercial was very cute.:D My only other thought
was how would you gather them all up afterwards? With the shake of
a treat bag maybe?;)
