If Cats Could Talk, What Would They Tell Us?

SHAWNEE, Kan., Aug. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Since ancient times, cats have had an aura of mystery to them. As a result, there are "cat myths" lurking behind every litter box. Some myths are harmless--cats are cold and aloof, so they don't make good pets--while others, relating to cat health, can be serious--a purring cat is a happy and healthy cat, or cats who live indoors, can't have fleas.

If cats could talk, they would debunk these myths--but they can't, which is why Bayer's Advantage® II for cats has enlisted the help of the "Cat Myth Busters"--Wendy Diamond and her "side-cat," Pasha--to put the kibosh on the Top 10 cat myths.

Diamond, the head "Cat Myth Buster," is America's foremost pet lifestyle expert and a frequent contributor to Good Morning America, Today Show and other national media outlets. Pasha is a Russian Blue cat with his paw on the pulse of the latest feline trends! And while Diamond and Pasha dispel myths, Advantage® II for cats will kill fleas! It works through contact, so fleas don't have to bite to die.

As part of the "Cat Myth Busters" campaign, Diamond and Pasha will disprove myths through articles they co-write and seasonal myth buster videos, beginning with the "Myth of the Indoor Cat." In addition, a campaign microsite has been established at CatMythBusters.com. On the website, cat owners can play a cat myth game and join the PetParents.com community for access to helpful tips and resources. For every new member, a donation of Advantage® II for cats of up to 10,000 tubes will be made to AdoptaPet.com, a non-profit pet adoption charity that helps shelters, humane societies, SPCAs, pet rescue groups and pet adoption agencies advertise their homeless pets to adopters for free.
