Using pixar-like animation, this two-minute ad spot follows a young woman who falls into a depressive state after losing her job. She spends nights on the couch eating pizza and ice cream without realizing her poor lifestyle habits are mirroring the way she's feeding her cat. Switching to an off-brand food and neglecting to measure the scoops, the woman's cat quickly begins to put on weight. It isn't until the cat is unable to jump onto the counter that the woman realizes her mistake, quickly changing the cat's diet back to that of Hills Pet Nutrition.
