    Ikea herding cats

    I don't know when this dates from, but hopefully it hasn't been posted before. The link is to a video about Ikea shooting an advert featuring a lot of cats, and also shows the final advert.

    I just saw that yesterday! A co-worker came in to tell me about it. I loved it! Especially the last shot of the commercial as it looks like my Oatmeal!

    I saw that on tv and was bowled over!!! What an opportunity to allow cats to roam free for the night!!! Hang out in the kitchen sink, on the bed, alot of places that they normally aren't allowed at home. Love it!!

    Lots of snowshoe kitties and white ones. I loved the sphynx kitty up with the light bulbs. He found the warmest spot in the place. And the kitty at the end was just too adorable!
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    But...

    Am I the only paranoid kitty mamma that could see so many downsides of it?

    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?

    I'm probably an over worrier 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 !

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!


    "That's the power of kittens (and puppies too, of course): They can reduce us to quivering masses of Jell-O in about two seconds flat and make us like it. Good thing they don't have opposable thumbs or they'd surely have taken over the world by now." -- Paul Lukas

    "We consume our tomorrows fretting about our yesterdays." -- Persius, first century Roman poet

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