FRANKLIN, Tenn., Nov. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- In a recent survey, nearly 50 percent of cat-owning households reported their feline's behavior as "mischievous" and would put their furry friends on the naughty list this holiday season¹. Who can blame them? With all the tinsel, strings of lights, ribbons to unravel and more, it's a feline holiday dream land come true! To boot, half of cat-owners admit to having to redo their holiday decorations because of their too-curious-kitties¹. This year, tame your feline's holiday spirit with a little holiday help from TEMPTATIONS™ cat treats.

The TEMPTATIONS™ Brand, under its TREAT THEM TOO™ brand platform, has released a new campaign appropriately titled, "Keep Them Busy," reminding cat-owners to keep their felines occupied and treat them this holiday. Created by Adam & Eve/DDB London and directed by Sam Brown of Rogue Films, the new holiday campaign centers around a humorous video featuring mischievous cats anxiously waiting to wreak havoc on a beautifully-decorated holiday wonderland. Once given the green light, the cats are released into the room – and the chaos begins. The cats bobble with the ornaments, claw on holiday sweaters, chew on beautifully wrapped gifts; that is until they hear the shake of the TEMPTATIONS™ treat bag, which stops them in their tracks and they clear the room.

"The internet is full of cats being cute and fluffy," said Denise Truelove, Marketing Director, Cat Treats, Mars Petcare US. "The reality is cats are incredibly mischievous. That tension led to an entertaining and relatable TEMPTATIONS™ holiday video and campaign."

The campaign is supported by a number of integrated marketing efforts, including TV, national print, social media posts, YouTube and partnerships on popular platforms such as Buzzfeed, Snapchat and Amazon.
