AIBU In thinking the cat in the O2 advert...

[BaldricksWife]

..... needs a bloody good brush? Sets my teeth on edge each time I see it.

I think it looks ill as well as unkempt. Too thin. Bit creepy too.

Well it's been photoshopped so it's not going to look "right"

I do however like his voice!

He looks like a Maine Coon cat to me... but a really thin shabby one. I have MC and they are similar but shiny fluffy and plump!

Yes we reckon Maine Coon too, although some of MILs maine coons are far slimmer with shorter coats that the solid fluff ball one.

I hate those adverts. ' Be more dog.' Hmmph! There's nothing wrong with being a cat! I feel offended on my cats' behalf whenever the adverts are on!

Agreed.

Cats are far cooler.

I've always thought he looked frightened - in all the adverts. They would put me straight off using the product.

I have siberians and it looks like one of those, mine are always scruffy even after a brush

I am boycotting O2 until that cat learns to embrace his catness and be more cat. I'd love to be a cat - he's just ungrateful.

I totally agree, 3cats, king, Eleanor. HATE those ads. Cats are far superior.

The cat in the advert is a cat's head on a dog's body. I never noticed until my sister pointed it out to me, creeeepyyy!

Actually, on looking at the pictures it might actually be a main coon.... The cats head dogs body creeped me out too much so maybe its just wishful thinking

I've been meaning to start a thread on those sodding ads for ages now.

There is no way on God's earth that any cat would want to be even remotely 'dog', let alone 'more dog'.

Dog's are idiots and cats know that!

[2nd attempt at this post, my phone's being odd and I think it just posted this on a very different thread]

Totally agreed that the cat needs to embrace his cat-ness. "Be more dog"? Pffft.

///that cat is a Maine #coon - I own his twin brother fatterversion--though

Don't know what the cat is, but as a goldie owner the first time I saw the add I said "that's a cat on a golden retrievers body". I was right. You can find it on google. Again, too thin though and in need of a good brush!

I felt the same way on seeing that ad for the first time. I'm sure my elegant, graceful and clean kittys don't desire at all to be panting, drooling, rolling in fox poo, sniffing bums and poo dogs.
