There are many creative cat climbers on the market that consumers can choose from. However, very little of those products can reach the hilarity of the Colonel Sanders-shaped indoor feline habitat. The product is seven feet tall and is debuted during an interactive live stream event, hosted by KFC and Super Deluxe.
Much like the majority of cat climbers, Colonel Sanders comes as a modular design that promotes playfulness and movability — from the revolving head and bowtie to the "whirling cane and friend chicken-shaped accessory."
Surely, the KFC-branded cat toy can be viewed as an incredibly clever campaign to promote the status of the brand and delight potential consumers by channeling the cat-loving community on the Internet. In addition, the video features kittens that are available for adoption via the Heaven on Earth Society of Animals in LA.
