Playing Dress-Up With Your Cat This Holiday? #SaySorry With TEMPTATIONS™

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- During the holiday season, we think dressing our cats as one of Santa's little helpers is the funniest thing ever. They don't. To help them forgive and forget, the TEMPTATIONS™ Brand launched a new online media and print campaign, #SaySorry, that invites cat owners everywhere to apologize with America's No. 1 cat treat, TEMPTATIONS™. The video is set to the iconic song "Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word," tugging at the heart strings, while the reactions of the featured cats are sure to spark plenty of laughter.

"Pet owners spend more than $5 billion on their pets during the holidays.  We want to give them a little extra love with treats and toys.  And, they might even choose to dress them in their holiday best – even if their furry friend isn't crazy about the choice of wardrobe," said Arren Beach, TEMPTATIONS™ Brand Manager. "The #SaySorry campaign pokes lighthearted fun at cat owners who lovingly embrace the holidays to the fullest with their cats."

ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN
The #SaySorry campaign, created by adam&eveDDB in London, includes one 30- and one 60-second video spot featuring perturbed cats, outfitted in everything from elf costumes to Christmas sweaters, with voiceover and copy that suggests a sincere apology is in order – and TEMPTATIONS™ Treats as the "sorry" sure to make things right.

Each spot is set to the song "Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word," which perfectly sets up TEMPTATIONS™ Treats as an even better way to apologize without saying a word. Full page print ads will run in women's interest magazines through the end of the year. Fans can find the video online.
