Is it just me, or is that IKEA ad with all the cats creepy? It freaks me out every time I watch it. AIBU?

Took a while for D's to notice the cats - was too busy identifying all the stuff "we've got that chair mummy, and that light, and that....." now he wants to know when the cats are moving in Grin

Oh no! If is was filmed in Wembley then I really can't sit on anything there anymore!

I guess the world is divided into cat people and hate cats people isn't it! Smile

yes stillbobbysgirl:

And those who are seriously allergic to cats. People like me, who have instant and immediate asthma attack even being near someone who has had cat hair / dander on them.

It does seem rather shortsighted to allow a serious allergen in to a shop, and then just let customers walk in. I mean they wouldn't leave traces of peanut around would they?

Really irresponsible of them IMVHO.

Oh I hate that ad . It's really creepy.

I love it - it's one of the few ads on TV that genuinely make me smile. I'm a massive cat person anyway though, and a massive Ikea person so I'm beyond help.

I still think it's moggie-racist... did you see any black cats on there at all!? Come to think of it - did you see any black and white three legged cats on there? I'm complaining on behalf of wonky-mog that she's being discriminated against... must be worth a free Billy bookcase! (joking btw :D )

is the behind the scenes of the making of it if you haven't seen it (and yes they hoovered like crazy afterwards).

I hate cats - I hate the advert

OracleInaCoracle · 08/10/2010 12:32

I am a cat hater.

Finn77 · 08/10/2010 12:53

Hate it, creepy definitely.

greedyguts · 08/10/2010 13:23

Horrible horrible horrible. All those cats climbing all over the place!

It make me shudder every time and I don't even hate cats that much. You should hear my mum on the subject.

I did say to dh when we saw it the first time (and loved it) that they would need to produce an equivalent one for dog people!

Hedgeblunder · 08/10/2010 13:35

Yabu- the Ginger one at the end is the image of mine. They should deeeeefinitly do a dog one, I'd love that!
