Bertha's Kitty Boutique ....brought to you by Bertha's Kitty Boutique. (THEME) SS: Ever since my cat Princess was a kitten, I've known that she
is gifted. She just has a sort of intelligence and awareness that is just
way beyond most cats. That's why I don't let her run around with cats
in the neighborhood: she really needs cats who are on her level ---- and
thanks to the Cat Connection at Bertha's, I've been able to make some
good play dates for her. The Cat Connection is a computer cat-matching
service that lets me look at a number of cats and find ones that are appropriate
for mine. Some of their owners are dumber than dirt, but that's okay.
I just want what's right for my cat. GK: ---- doesn't everyone? Bertha's Kitty Boutique. For persons
who care about cats. GK: Summer is not your cat's best time. (DEPRESSED MEOW) It's
hot and sometimes your cat gives you this pitiful look as if he wishes
he could find the zipper and get out of this thing. (MOURNFUL MEOW) But
your cat improves when you bring home a cat video from Bertha's. A video
with birdies in it (VARIOUS BIRDS), birdies flying around and sitting
on low branches, what cats call "The Snack Bar" (MEOW) and squirrels
(SQUIRREL) running to and fro ---- your cat (MEOW) won't take its eyes
off the screen. And then comes the educational part. There on the screen
is a bad kitty who spreads her kitty litter all over the (CAT SCRATCHING)
kitchen floor and sharpens her nails on the couch (RIPPING BY NAILS) (MEOW,
UH OH) and then she goes outside and a giant condor (CONDOR) comes down
(BIG WINGS FLAPPING) and takes that cat away (CONDOR) ----- it's a video
that gives your cat something to think about (THOUGHTFUL MEOW). Entertainment
with a moral. (THOUGHTFUL MEOW). From Bertha's Kitty Boutique…..
For persons who care about cats…..(BKB THEME) GK: ---- Bertha's Kitty Boutique. For persons who care about cats.
