Here’s a look at the new PetSmart ‘Cat on a Leash’ commercial which features a song saying “I’d do anything for you,
my number one feline”.
Forming part of the pet supplies retailer’s ‘Anything For Pets’ advertising campaign, the eye-catching spot follows cats being taken for a walk on a leash while fellow pedestrians look on in shock and amazement.
So is this a groundbreaking moment in the world of advertising? Will people look back at this video in years to come when taking your cat for a walk is just as common as walking a dog and wonder why these actors looked so surprised? I guess only time will tell.
In case you’re wondering, although this commercial is rather funny, it’s not actually a joke. PetSmart does indeed sell harnesses, leashes and leads for felines, and taking your cat for a walk really is a thing now. Certainly, in busy cities and towns, I can see how it could be a safer way of giving your feline friend some exercise.
Ad Music: Cat on a Leash.
As you’ve probably guessed if you’ve listened to the lyrics, this ‘Cat on a Leash’ PetSmart commercial song has been written and recorded especially for the ad spot and is, dare I say it, even rather catchy.
