Scaredy Cat is the first-ever horror movie for cats and Temptations created it to tell the story of a solo cat in a spooky haunted house. Room by room, the terrifying tale shows the cat being lured by a ball of yarn, ultimately leading to the scariest sight of all—a cucumber.
As Craig Neely, Vice President of Marketing at Mars Petcare, says: If you're a cat lover, there's a good chance you've gone down the rabbit hole of Internet videos of cats jumping in fear at the sight of a cucumber. Those very entertaining clips were the inspiration behind 'Scaredy Cat.'"
The movie for cats, which premieres soon on YouTube and Amazon Fire TV, is the perfect accompaniment to the limited-edition Creepy Catnip Treats.
