Awww what a beautiful kitten!!! Great play on words too. Very eye-catching - I'd certainly like to see this on the side of a bus, it would get my interest. Great advert! Good luck in the competition!

Kev: Are you always this negative? Try smiling, you may feel better
T | 09 May 2009
Kev: no need to be rude
Kev | 08 May 2009
This advert could be used anywhere. The Berghaus "Climb aboard" route uses the bus and the idea ties in with the brand. Have a bit of sense eh.
TP | 07 May 2009
What a beautiful kitten! Very eye-catching advert, well done!
Eileen .C | 04 May 2009

Kathy Smith | 24 April 2009
Good luck - hope you win.

Vicki: The idea of advertising is to attract peoples attention to their product or services, the kitten ad has obviously done this as there has been a lot of correspondence about their unique advert. So well done to them.
Gina | 17 April 2009
Dear Nicki, if you read the comments made by Laura you will see that there was problems with the voting and she has had to sort it out to make the competition fair to all of the entries
Gill | 17 April 2009
Vicky: How can you say that the kitten looks sad, if you read the designer's comments it is 1.5 weeks old, it just looks incredibly cute. The slogan is done with creativeness and humour and I can assure you that the kitten was very well looked after when the photo was taken with the breeder on site!
B | 17 April 2009
Vicky: now that's just being silly!!!
If you read through the previous comments you will see there was rigged voting going on with a certain other company and they got found out!!!!!!
Vicky | 16 April 2009
I agree that small companied do benefit from this free advertising, which is good for them. However, the slogan 'let us shoot them' isn't really very nice, and the cat in the image looks sad - i wouldn't want my cat to have it's photo taken at gunpoint looking sad...?!?
Nicki | 16 April 2009
I too am concerned at the rollercoaster of percentages! It seems odd that this entry can rise by over 30% in just one day! you have no idea that the other entries are submitted by large companies - one is by my son and his friend who are rying to make it into advertising and just so happened to choose alarge company's product.They have nothing to do with the company itself. i don't agree with making comments that are not directly concerned with the quality of the entry but feel strongly that people shouldn't mak sweeping comments without knowing the facts.
Kate Brimley | 16 April 2009
Karen has shot amazing photos of my animals she is wonderful, good luck Karen I love this ad such a wonderful picture!
Tom | 15 April 2009
Great ad, love the fact that it is so different from the usual, good luck to you, hope you win
Gina | 15 April 2009
Absolutely love the advert, fantastic opportunity for the small guys to shine through, well done
TP | 14 April 2009
Dear A. I am nothing to do with the company! I am a fair voter and was concerned over the unfair voting. Get your facts straight before you accuse!!!!
laura | 14 April 2009
can I please set the record straight? I have access to all the votes that are made on this site and have spent 4 hours this morning looking at EVERY vote. Today I found out that three entries on the sight had submitted hundreds of votes within seconds of each other from the same IP address. this is impossible so in the fairness of the compeition have removed these hence why the percentages have changed. This entry was not one of those creatives and instead had valid votes made from valid email addresses.
A | 14 April 2009
"TP | 14 April 2009
I don't understand why your percentage is low when your advert is this fantastic - miles better than any others in this competition"
- so strange your percentage would rise so sharply after this comment posted today. sneaky sneaky.
Pony | 14 April 2009
I agree. The holidays ad on here is a home grown entry from a small company too. Just shows - it's not all about the big boys.
TP | 14 April 2009
I don't understand why your percentage is low when your advert is this fantastic - miles better than any others in this competition. It's also great for a small company to be getting this opportunity. It shouldn't be won by a large product/company that obviously has an advertising budget already in place. Give the small guys a chance!
William | 25 March 2009
Great press ad - but not very creative use of the medium
Paul Lewis | 16 March 2009
My friends dog was shot by Karen. He looks fantastice and still does well in the agility competition.

I think it's a great ad - my only concern is that some less internet savvy people might try to put the spaces in the internet address.
