HILLBILLY CATS!

@littlepuffykiwi I'm yet to see one, let alone own one. That would be epic, driving a cop car with a cat...

[Figlitiblitification]

My cat likes bluegrass and banjos so he likes this commercial lol

[Figlitiblitification]

LOL ROFL this is hilarious

[er10b]

I was seriously ROFLING so hard when I saw this ad.

Cats playing banjos, stomping their rear paws and lipsynching?

Yup, the 70s FTW.

[RemisVancosid]

To be honest this ad just makes me want to buy a banjo for my cat, rather than friskies. But with that said, I have always wanted to buy a banjo for my cat..

[er10b]

@RemisVancosid cat-size banjos are difficult to find - but if I had a cat it would have a banjo and would sit out on the front porch wearing redneck clothes sitting in a rocking chair with a piece of grass in it's mouth playing Dueling Banjos.

i think they should have a rhyme for "aint we got fun"

maybe, there number one

or, a mouth full of yum, and

ill be sad when im done (like the cat ate it all)

FINALLY I find this ad! In 1978 I smashed my face in a bicycle accident and saw this on TV while in the hospital. It was so funny but it hurt to laugh (broken nose & dented teeth). And, I never saw it again on TV after that. Now I can watch it again & again.

Remember when you had to actually get a cat to act out the silly thing you wanted, instead of just computer animating them ?

[selloutasaurus]

my cat is addicted to Friskies treats. he can't play banjo, though...only the fiddle.

[LTDViperDeli]

CATS + BANJOS = EPIC WIN

[BanjoMikeGregory]

They would certainly put the CLAW in clawhammer style.

But the sound track is 3-finger "Scruggs" style.

Since ANY banjo music is better than NO banjo music, I'm glad they agreed to participate.

[mthivier]

Those cats should be on the Grand Ol Opry.

Sing along!
