What this needs is to end with the fake cat being hurled across the room into an open bottle with such force that it pops right inside, and therefore be a commercial for bonsaikitten. ---

It’s an actual commercial for I think Nokia mobile phones. I saw it on TV 2 nights ago here in Australia. I doubt it will last long. What’s PETA? Pets Entertaining Television Addicts?? ---

Oh, damn that was funny. I was thinking that even if it was real, I’ve seen cats take harder hits than that and shake it off. Cats are tough, ya know? Not that I’m advocating tying cats to fans and spinning them into the wall. [Here’s](http://www.rathergood.com/independent_woman/) one of my all-time favourite “cat” videos.

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by McDaddy \* > **It’s an actual commercial for I think Nokia mobile phones. I saw it on TV 2 nights ago here in Australia. I doubt it will last long.** That’s surprising, because according to Nokia Australia, it’s a fake! ---

Y’know, this detailed and analytical discussion of the possible use of CGI trickery in a video of a cat swinging on a ceiling fan is exactly why I _totally love the SDMB_. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-airborne-kitty/161102.md?page=1)
