That is totally unecessary in a commercial. Even if the cat is specially trained to handle that, I don't think that commercials really have to add in animals getting things dropped on them. I really don't think I or any other cat fan will find humor in that kind of thing. I don't think you're over reacting. You are just defensive about cats, and that's good. The thought of millions of kids sitting at home laughing because ice cream fell on a cat's head is just unbearable, and cats might be looked down on for animals that you just drop things on. See, I'm the one that's over reacting. Infact, the other day I was browsing around the channels and I found a children's show called CatDog. Anyway, everything bad happens to the cat, and the dog always gets the good stuff. What kind of rubbish is that!! Children's TV programs can sometimes make a mockery of cats. For God sake, look at Sylvester on Looney Tunes, or Tom on Tom and Jerry!! They all get hurt, and the dog or the mouse or whatever gets all the good things. Cats are going to be looked down on if this continues! I know I'm REALLY over reacting, but I hate how cats are made fun of on Cartoons. Now I'm really over reacting so I'm just going to leave and play with my cat. Oh and by the way, I have a million shows that make a mockery of cats if anybody wants to know.
