The Future of Advertising…Cat Videos or ‘Catvertising’

This viral clip is a weekend must-see, must-forward clip. Enjoy!

For the record, the term “Catvertising” is not new. It was coined waaaaaay back in 2009.

      If they are smelly, someone is not changing the litter box every day.
      Cats are wonderful ! Especially fluffy Persians.
      I recommend Scoop A Way Multiple cat formula.

      I love cats and commercials with cats. I would love for every commercial to have a kitty in it, and so would my cat who is sitting on the computer chair with me watching me type.

    So friggin funny!!! Training a cat is like trying to train ……….oh I don’t know. Any creature is more trainable than a cat! That’s what makes the video so hilareous!

      cats are easy to train i have trained every last cat i have ever had. it is a false statement that they are not easily trained. it is hard if you are lazy, and don’t want to put in the work required to train them properly.

    I love my cat, but the truh of the matter is dogs are more affectionate in my opinion. You live with the cat, but the dog lives with you!

    i always heard it as “You own a dog, you feed a cat.”

      Dogs have owners, cats have staff. I love both, but I have cats (2). One is purring on my lap, the other is asleep on my desk.

      That’s why cat videos are so funny – cats always appear so dignified, so aloof, then they jump at a spot on the wall and slide down.

      There is a way you can tell. I have 6 cats, four are left liberals and 2 are conservatives. The two conservative kitties, know that they are better than the other four because they are outside, getting moles and mice and working for a living. When they come in, they look down on our other four because they consider them to be lazy and just eat and sleep and depend upon us to take care of them all the time.

      One must also remember that not everyone lives sitting at a computer, so we can be the first to be aware of the important info you do- I feel so empty knowing you saw it before me. Guess I have to put my life aside so I can keep up on important info, and keep informed!

      That’s great, but I didn’t have to train my cat to open closet doors or reach for door-knobs. I didn’t have to train my cat to give me back rubs, and he isn‘t so selfish that he doesn’t share, and some times he will even close closet doors when he is done. And he always knows when we have went to the grocery store, and he likes chocolate more than canned tuna. It’s an interesting thing.

    It was innevitable, you know.

    I saw this coming in 2002, when I first began Blogging on Daddy Kiril’s 1st Blog.

    When the Cat Blogging Community began to take off, in 2004-2006, I knew that it was only a matter of time (Cats Nap & Snooze a lot, what can I say?).

    Daddy & I begn to learn how to do videos in 2009, and I finally talked him into giving me my own blog to start 2010.

    Being a Lifelong Conservapuss Republicat I can see Right Paw Pussycats outpurrforming the Left in the years to come as we take the advertising world by storm.

    Our Feline Capitalist Instincts are more suited to this than are the Purrgressive notions of the Liberal Demopussies, trust me. ;-D

      I had a cat that brought us gifts. Once a used diaper. Another time someone’s bra. Once a dog collar. A few dead birds, a live frog that made my cat froth at the mouth, and that is just the beginning. Cats are awesome.

      SHASTA Our cats bring us gifts as well. One spring we were given a small rabbit.
      Our kitty proudly walked it through the front door and dropped it at our feet. The rabbit (still alive) jumped up and shot through the house. While panic ensued and everyone was running around trying to catch the rabbit. Our generous kitty was sitting on a chair, relaxed, aloof and licking her butt…………MSSMUG
