]]> Cats Not Ads! https://www.clawtheory.com/2016/09/15/cats-not-ads/ Thu, 15 Sep 2016 12:37:16 +0000 http://www.clawtheory.com/?p=1724 A brilliant new campaign from Citizens Advertising Takeover Service (CATS) has replaced advertisements with – you guessed it – CATS!  The UK project reimagines public space as a space for public good, and has commuters smiling as they stroll the subways, surrounded by featured cats instead of solely being bombarded by products.  Researchers estimate around 5,000 ads are seen per day, and this project pokes playfully at that number.

CATS’ successful campaign had a simple aim, “taking over Clapham Common station for two weeks” by replacing dozens of ads with furry faces. The perk for pets is that the new features are cats available for adoption from Cats Protection, the UK’s largest feline welfare charity, and Battersea Dogs and Cats Rescue.  Cat’s Protection assists more than 200,000 cats each year Battersea cares for thousands of cats each year, connecting felines to forever homes in their adoption efforts.  In addition to smiles, no doubt, the publicity will help the featured cats.  The campaign has the added potential of raising awareness about adoption, too.  Well done!

Prince

 June 7, 1958 – April 21, 2016

Prince’s death leaves a sudden gap in the universe.  For music lovers and animal lovers alike, Prince is a legend of unrivaled genius.  With songs like “Animal Kingdom” and liner notes about the cruelty of the wool industry, Prince spoke up and sang out, to encourage  fans to “respect all of God’s creatures.”  Prince leaves a beautiful legacy as a brilliant musician and as a long time outspoken advocate for animals.

“No member of the animal kingdom ever did a thing to me (Ever did a damn thing)

So, I don’t eat no red meat or white fish

Or funky, funky blue cheese

We’re all members of the animal kingdom

Leave your brothers and sisters in the sea ~Prince, “Animal Kingdom”
