Commercial pet food is not regulated by the Food & Drug Administration. That lets the makers put a lot of really awful garbage in it labeled "meat byproducts".
I can only hope these cats, plus Morris, and the cat from the Brady Bunch, and the cat in "The Wizard of Oz" are all playing together now. I can dream, can't I?
Those cats were starved for 48 hours, held back while the food was heated and poured and a fan directed the scent at them, then released so they would appear to be highly interested in the Friskies.
@someone2121996 hahaah... you said RIP to those cats... cats never die painlessly ... so I laughed because you said that (because it sounded like you're being sarcastic).
Hey maybe the cats are stunt cats so they dont bump into each other and my cats have got sooooooo fat from eating their soft food one of ems like twenty pounds :P
@tobyrat23 Probably so. But I have to admit my cats always have plenty of both dry and moist food in their bowls, but they still come running like crazy everytime they hear me opening up another can of fresh moist food for them. They're spoiled rotten. In fact Lucky is sitting on my lap as I'm typing here. He's a big orange tabby lik one of them in the commercial. He's purring and half asleep right now, but if my wife were to open a can of food for him he'd take off in a flash. LOL
When I was a kid, our cat only ate Little Friskies, and when my mother tried to "cheat" and sneak in the cheaper store brand, she would boycot, simply refused to eat.
I give credit to the animal trainers in those early pet food ads, especially the cat ones. Dogs you can get to do almost anything, but to get a "herd" of cats to run the same direction together without veering off or taking swipes at one-another is a feat. Oh, you can "cheat" with cgi today, but try doing it with the real thing!
-I was thinkin about-back then--people- didnt have the luxary of the modern vaccines like Lekemia--cats today live alot longer---10 then was LONNNGG time
i wonder if they shit white shit like they do in 70's nothing like 70's dog and cat shit :D
