A lot of people compare a Cat Show to the Westminster Dog Show, both are beauty contests where the Cats & Dogs are each judged against a written breed standard. Some of you may be picturing a Cat Show below, the ACCC show is much better organized.

When we lived in New York City many of our American Shorthair Cats were used in media advertising. We had a full time Animal Agent who was able to find "jobs" for our cats.
The "Shoot" was interesting to watch as they tried to get the cats to do what was in the advertising companies' planned layout.
We chose cats who were outgoing and very friendly and not shy away on the set where there were many people, cameras and lights.
As it turned out, the Carocats were very successful and to this day we often hear people talking about Toonces The Driving Cat of Saturday Night Live fame or see a Flat Cat in a store window and In the beginning of Jurassic Park, in the owners trailer you can see a Flat Cat on the office shelf.
--------------------
Luring 56 Million Ailurophiles
New York Times May 29, 1988
By the latest whisker count, cats, for the first time, now outnumber dogs in American households. According to the Pet Food Institute, there were 56 million cats in American homes last year, and 52 million dogs. And they're doing more than just snoozing on the couch: They're advertising everything from high-priced cars and business machines to communications systems, health insurance, diet soda and sleeping aids. Among the companies that have turned to cats to pitch their goods are the Marine Midland Bank, Swissair, Empire Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Diet Coke and even its archrival, Diet Pepsi.

Advertisers seem to believe that cats can sell. At Canon U.S.A., the big camera and office equipment company, executives even went so far as to name a new product the Cat. The company calls the Canon Cat a ''work processor'' - a combination typewriter and word processor - and advertises it with the help of an aristocratic-looking Silver Tabby American Shorthair cat named Drake, who’s registered name in the world of Show Cats is Carocats Come Back Kid, owned by Carol & Michael Rothfeld.

A CAT ''has sort of a mystique about it,'' said Paul Denimark, who handles Cat marketing at Canon U.S.A. When Canon's advertising agency, Grey Advertising, proposed the name, Canon agreed. An additional motivation, he said, was the fact that the machine is so unusual that most people, at first, do not know what it will do - just as they do not know what a real cat will do.

The print campaign started in September with full-body shots of Drake and a single line of copy on one page: ''The Canon Cat is Coming . . .'' Then the reader can open or turn the page to see Drake leaping, a graphic way to illustrate the Cat's pink ''leap'' keys, which enable the machine's user to move through the text. In a reader survey done by Readex Inc., the ad scored highest - 83 percent - in the ''remembered seeing'' category when it appeared in the October issue of The Office magazine.

The allure of the cat is hardly restricted to Madison Avenue. In Japan, the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation sent a crew to New York about two years ago to make television spots of a cat roaming the city, observing urban activity.

FOR a series of ads that ran in Japan, dozens of cats auditioned for the job which went to a silver tabby American Shorthair by the name of Carocats Tyrone Fletcher, owned by Carol and Michael Rothfeld. In the ads, Tyrone observed pigeons from a Manhattan rooftop, visited restaurants, sniffed around on a kitchen counter and ran down ladders and across brick walls. With music by the Japanese composer Go Ohgami, the commercials had the quality of a music video. The company followed with another series, also featuring a cat.
Tyrone seemed a likely choice for the assignment. One of the best-known ad cats in the business, he has made more than 40 commercials, appeared on the ''Today'' show and ''The David Letterman Show,'' according to his trainer, Linda Hanrahan, owner of Animals for Advertising, an animal theatrical agency in New York.
For its efforts - a week or more of print and video shooting on the Canon job, for example - a cat earns ''enough to pay for his cat food and vet bills,'' said Ms. Hanrahan, who like most of her colleagues would not give exact figures. Fees start at several hundred dollars and go up according to the number of tricks required and their difficulty, plus the length of the job. Trainers generally bring along a back-up cat - sometimes more than one - in case the star gets tired or refuses to cooperate. One stand-in also owned by Carol and Michael Rothfeld was Syntifiny Denver Jake. Unfortunately Jake was a wash out in the advertising business. The scene was to have the cat walk through a restaurant without stopping. Jake stopped at every diner’s table to greet the patrons, that was not in the script. Even so, cat ads have been known to increase the time it takes to shoot an ad - and the cost. IS IT POSSIBLE? A SENSITIVE MORRIS?

Toonces the Driving Cat was launched in 1989 as sketch in Saturday Night Live Show. After airing in season 14’s episode 20, It quickly gained a considerable amount of attraction from the SNL fans and of course, cat lovers!
Would you let your cat drive your car? It sounds like crazy even if I guess I just assumed it. This couple played by Steve Martin and Victoria Jackson saw no harm in driving their pet cat’s car.

What is the jingle in Toonces the Driving Cat?
That jingle we can’t forget:
“Toonces the Driving Cat
The Cat who could drive a car.
He drives around
all over the town
Toonces the Driving Cat!”
