Every week we choose a pet animal, photograph it, and people who are close to it tell stories about it. This week's hero is Boris the cat, named after the same cat from the Kitekat advertisement. Boris loves hanging from curtains and eating quality cheese, and he is also famous for his phenomenal resemblance to the singer Luna.
Trainer Natural Adult Sterilized
Alena: Boris and I have been together since his birth. My parents’ cat, Anfisa, gave birth to four kittens from an unknown cat. She is a thoroughbred, Neva Masquerade. My parents said, “Well, we’ll probably drown them,” and I was like, “What?” In general, I decided to take care of their fate. I immediately placed the first two, but the last girl lived with us for another month and I cried a lot when they took her away. From the very beginning it was understood that Boris would be mine. He was named after the famous cat from the Kitekat commercial because he has a similar coloration. Surely, more than one Boris starred in this advertisement, but ours is not trained, so I didn’t think of offering him there.
His full name is Boris Anfisovich, he resembles his mother only in behavior, but not in appearance at all. A remarkable spot on the nose appeared a couple of weeks after birth and grew along with the cat. As I understand it, these are just some pigment spots all over the body, they’re just not very visible behind the fur. In general, he is such a vitiligo cat. But this gives him recognition.
He grew faster than his sisters and brother, the first began to crawl out of the box in which they lived, walk, and mischief. For the first six months to a year of his life, he only misbehaved and played, did not purr at all and slept separately. Gradually he became affectionate, now he purrs like a fat locomotive almost to the point of grunting.
Boris the cat and singer Luna
Alena: My friend was once scrolling through Instagram and she came across a post from Luna’s Instagram and a photo of Boris under each other, they were terribly similar. She sent me a screenshot and we decided to make collages. They laughed at it and forgot about it. And about half a year later, a friend wrote that she was terribly sad and we decided to have fun again, comparing photos of Boris and Luna, and then we made a public page on VKontakte to dump this whole collection somewhere.
And then hop, literally 2 days later they give us “Prometheus” (a tag for communities and users who create unique and interesting content).
At first, about 20 of our friends liked the page, but because of this “Prometheus” a bunch of people came running to us. Now there are 19 thousand subscribers. At some party I met the director of Luna, he, it turns out, knew about us and showed her the public. Luna herself even posted a photo of herself with Boris.
Technically, this public is done like this: I find some photo on Luna’s Instagram, and then look for something similar in my photos of Boris. I don’t specifically force him to repeat any of her poses; there’s nothing staged there.
In the public itself, sometimes there are funny comments, for example, someone wrote that this is a project of Luna herself in support of the new album. “Prometheus” was given to us four times, we had millions of views of the pictures, one for each.
But we do all this just to laugh. From time to time we post something there, but now less often. When one of us feels sad, we start making collages again. Boris also has an Instagram, but it was there before the public, it is a separate form of art. In general, I think his secret is that he has very rich facial expressions.
Once in “Pine and Linden” a guy came up to me and said, “Oh, hello, you’re the cat Boris!”

Boris the cat, known throughout the country for advertising cat food, in ordinary life is completely different from the TV star. He lives in the same cage as the rest of the tailed artists. Boris, together with 32 of his colleagues, works at the Yuri Kuklachev Theater.
3.
The son of the famous cat trainer Dmitry spoke about the outstanding pet:
- Boris earns his own living. He receives fees for filming from the very food he advertises. There is enough not only for ourselves, but also for those artists who have not yet appeared on the screens. However, not only Boris appears in advertising. Some other cats of the theater also receive a royalty “ration” (the cat Betsy (“Whiskas”), the cat Behemoth (played the role of the cat of the same name in the TV series “The Master and Margarita”) - all of them are actors of the Cat Theater)
4.
The commercial with Boris the cat has repeatedly taken first place in various competitions and festivals. Boris was selected for the role in it from more than 250 applicants. According to the plan, the cat was supposed to be simple, mongrel, but at the same time have a certain charisma and talent. The famous Boris came to Kuklachev from the street, before that he was an ordinary garbage cat. I'm used to fighting, fighting for my existence. But, having demonstrated his talent on the set, within two weeks he began performing on the stage of the Cat Theater.
What breed is the cat from the Felix advertisement? What breed of cats is from the Whiskas advertisement? Why the British
Author: Elena(admin) · September 27, 2013
Tuxedo is one of the varieties of two-color cats (bicolor, particolor), in the case of Tuxedo, the color is predominantly black with white spots. The color may be different, such as blue and white, brown and white, tabby and white. The name "tuxedo" comes from the fact that the cat looks as if it is wearing a tuxedo. That is, the white spots must be located on the cat’s body in a certain way. You could also say that a tuxedo cat looks like a penguin.
The official CFA definition states that a tuxedo cat must have white paws, belly, chest, throat, and sometimes even muzzle. The white spotting gene S causes white spots on a black background. The tuxedo color can be seen in both long-haired and short-haired cats. If you are the owner of a tuxedo cat , then most likely it is a mongrel cat (domus) or a cross between some breeds. However, there are cat breeds whose standards include a tuxedo color.
Tuxedo cat breeds
There is a misconception that tuxedo cats are distinguished by their unusually friendly and affectionate nature, intelligence and intelligence. In fact, the character and personality of a cat depends on the qualities of the breed and the upbringing received. However, the tuxedo color is very popular. It is known that Beethoven, Shakespeare, and Isaac Newton kept cats with this color. One of the tuxedo cats, named Sparky, became the owner of an inheritance of more than $6.3 million in 1998. This is the largest inheritance left to a cat in history.
The cat named Roderick, who climbed Everest, also had a tuxedo color. Penguin-colored cats are popular heroes of Internet memes.
If you are the happy owner of a tuxedo cat, then you probably have something to tell about her. Send us your stories and photos of your pets, they will definitely be published.

Wow, how handsome the Counts are! Nice!
But they really do have similar clothes. Wow, I could never draw the parallel myself.
My favorite cat, Felix, is exactly this tuxedo color, only with a black beard.
This color is not uncommon in cats. I didn't know it was called Tuxedo. The color is very beautiful.
Wow, I’ve never heard such a name, but it’s true))) We also had just such a cat - beautiful, to say the least. It turns out that cats, like men, really like tuxedos)))
You can often see such cats in our yards. Now I will know what their color is called

History of the origin of the British breed
According to one version, about 2 thousand years ago the ancestors of British cats came to Foggy Albion from Ancient Rome; according to another, in the 14th–15th centuries they served as rat catchers on board French merchant ships. In England, they continued to fulfill their direct duties - to protect crops and harvests from rodents.
Until the 19th century, the British developed without human intervention: in new climatic conditions they acquired a plush coat, became more hardy and strong. The breed was first developed by researcher and breeder Harrison Ware. At the London exhibition in 1871, he presented a 14-year-old British blue tabby named Old Lady, who became the winner. The breed created a sensation; many wanted to become owners of such purrs.
Harrison Ware portrayed his British Old Lady in the book “Our Cats and Everything About Them”
The First and Second World Wars took a serious toll on the British population. To restore the breed, they began to be crossed with Russian Blues, Persians, and Chartreuses. The breeders' efforts were crowned with success: soon the popularity of plush cats increased again, and in 1970 the first British cat club opened. Ten years later, the felinological association CFA officially recognized the breed and developed a standard, and in 2009 other organizations joined it - WCF and TICA.
Felix cat food is deservedly winning over consumers
Felix cat food is produced by the American company Purina Nestle. The same company is known for other brands, namely ProPlan, One, Friskies and others. In Russia, production is carried out by a local division of the main company. The official website cannot boast of a detailed description of the types of goods, and there is no data on the composition of the feed at all. All information consists of advertising information and a listing of the taste characteristics of different product options.
This product is sold not only in specialized stores, but also in regular supermarkets - availability and low price explain its high popularity. Judging by the reviews of Felix cat food, this product is worthy of consumer attention.
Veterinarians' opinion
Veterinarians recommend food for nutrition, but not for daily use. It is best to give it to cats as a treat, while adding natural products or dry food in granules to the diet.
Experts talk about one disadvantage, which is the lack of a detailed description of the ingredients included in the food. In addition, veterinarians believe that the products do not contain enough vitamins and minerals necessary for the full development of the animal.
Composition, class and types of feed
Felix food belongs to the economy class category and, in comparison with products of the same level from other companies, has fairly high quality indicators.
Feed Felix
However, the low class of food is indicated by its price, which depends on the composition: the more expensive the food, the more natural ingredients it contains.
The composition of the feed can be considered using the example of “Felix. Delicious pieces. Double delicious." All components are listed on the back of the package:
- Meat and offal , which include chicken and lamb at 4% respectively. The same situation is observed here as with most other foods (even better ones): the description does not say exactly how much meat is contained, how many processed products and what exactly is meant by this. The quantity of the ingredient (total percentage) is also not indicated. However, unlike Felix, high-quality products of a higher class contain a much higher percentage of chicken - about 45%.
- Plant protein extract . The percentage of the component is not specified. This component helps strengthen the pet’s immunity and helps prevent the development of various diseases. In addition, plant protein is easier and faster to digest compared to animal proteins.
- Fish and fish products . The quantity is also not indicated.
- Added substances . This refers to minerals and vitamins, namely:
- Vitamin A – supplies the body with energy, protects against bacterial infection, and participates in the regulation of metabolism;
- vitamin D – promotes the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the intestine, participates in the mineralization of bone tissue;
- iron;
- iodine.
The last two elements help the body produce blood cells and maintain their normal state.
- Dyes. Clearly the ingredient is useless and has no place in cat food.
- Sugar and mineral salts. At their core, these are flavoring additives. Contained in small quantities, they increase the pet’s appetite.
Variety This is interesting. The presence of flavor enhancers in food is a serious drawback.
They are added to food to stimulate appetite in cats. Natural super premium food does not immediately appeal to fastidious “gourmets”. This is a sign of quality. But, unfortunately, many owners are mistaken when they praise cheap food, which cats immediately pounce on and almost fight for portions. This is just a sign of low quality product. On the other hand, if we compare Felix with Whiskas, Kiteket, Friskies and other similar foods, the first will have a clear advantage over the others. If the cat is completely healthy, then the consumption of Felix food is not limited in any way. Otherwise, it is better to abandon economy class food and switch to others, for example, natural food. Moreover, Felix products cannot boast of a medical line and do not provide options for feeding with restrictions (that is, for sterilized cats and neutered males).
In any case, most owners note that they did not find any digestive problems in their pets after feeding them Felix for a long time. And for those who fear that a serious illness will manifest itself later, veterinarians recommend taking the animal’s urine for analysis once every six months. Before switching to a new food, it is also recommended to get tested.
About the Kitekat brand
Cat food under the Kitekat brand is produced by the American company Mars Inc. and is advertised as food for energetic cats.
Kitekat, the manufacturer claims, is an ideal source of vitality for the animal, as it contains all the necessary additional nutritional supplements and vitamins. In particular, Kitekat contains not only proteins, but also minerals and trace elements to strengthen teeth and claws. It also contains Omega 6 complex for healthy skin and coat and Taurine, which stimulates the heart and maintains visual acuity.
Kitekat food is made from beef, rabbit, fish, chicken and fish. The consumer can choose dry or wet food.
Kitekat is produced at the Mars factory in Stupino. In the advertising video, Boris the cat became the “face” of Kitekat.

I thought kitekat food was normal and healthy! but in fact this food kills! I don’t recommend it.
Olya (June 21, 2016)
Kitekat.(Why so)
I made friends with 4 cats. And they fascinated me that even I sometimes began to buy Kitekat for them. Total: I really liked the food (liquid) in the packages ~20 rubles. food (dried) 60 rubles (not at all: we barely ate). Even with a pile of kitekata poured in: three cats did not react at all.

Attention!
Kitekat-Economy class. It will not do much harm to an animal with good immunity. Anyone who says good is crap!!! Engaged people. Look for adequate stores and adequate sellers

this is not food, but a drug that slowly kills the animal... today I euthanized the cat in the veterinary hospital... the doctors said that it was because of kitticket, but that was understandable... heater urine... I will never feed animals with this substance again in my life...
Gennady Ivanov (February 9, 2015)
Excellent food……………..
My cat is 23 years old. 6 years ago I had a stroke and went blind in one eye. Clinics refused to treat him, they said that his spirit was leaving him. By chance I met a veterinarian, she immediately made a diagnosis and immediately gave an injection, the remaining 20 injections were given by me myself. He eats only KITEKAT and +meat and fish when I cut it up. I think that the food and company…………are very reliable and the food is good. My tel. 8(905)5098812. The best food is in cans or bags. Dry can cause urolithiasis. Many people come to see SIMKA, they do not believe that costra can live for so many years. Love and tenderness + KITEKAT......especially loves liver and fish once a week. THANKS TO THE COMPANY, MY FRIEND IS ALIVE AND ALWAYS READY TO EAT
Kaitlyn_Fan. (August 16, 2014)
Everything's fine for now.
Cats have been eating kitikat for about 5 years now and are still alive. Nothing happened to them.
Georgy (May 3, 2014)
what are you talking about?
normal food! everything is good in moderation! read the instructions, or do you consider yourself the smartest? or do you think that what is written is food, that’s how it should be, and nothing more? cats lived for a long time. food was given in moderation. my friend’s didn’t last long, the kidneys weren’t that good... but the cat sat for more than a year on dry food and water, sometimes milk and that’s it... and so my brother and I had a beer a couple of times... it goes well) it takes the same amount of time) )
Nastya (April 21, 2014)
Money down the drain
The cat turns up its nose at Stupinsky’s food. Money down the drain.
Sveta (October 24, 2013)
This is an inexpensive, very healthy food. I'm delighted, the cat is energetic. When I come home, the cat immediately takes me to the kitchen and opens the cabinet where this food is with her paw, and immediately eats everything with admiration. I also give her milk and she drinks it with it. I recommend everyone to buy this food, it is very profitable and lasts for a long time.
Vlad
Kitekat
There are no advantages, the cat is shit, the cat is losing hair, diarrhea. Kitiket is food for flayers, on a 100-point scale kitiket is 1 point, whiskey is also crap in another bag, but 2 points better (whiskas is 3 points), the best producer today is hills - 100 points, but it’s expensive , if your financial situation does not allow it, it is better to buy freeskis - 43 points.
Varvara
they are also alive...
Why does everyone think that dry food and canned food is all your pet needs?! They are also alive, better buy offal for them and cook them. But don't give them Kitekat, as there are plenty of examples of poisoning.
Vasya
kitikat
but whiskey didn’t make our cat vomit
Vasilisa
poison
And our cat died from urolithiasis, she ate only kiteket, I wonder if the producers feed their animals this?
zzzz
need to know who sells their product
Kitekat. Wonderful food for animals. But manufacturing companies must know who sells their goods / For example, Kaliningrad company Alexander Kan Kaliningrad company, warehouse of finished products!!! One of the largest food distribution companies in the Kaliningrad region: on the market since 1992, 1,700 product ranges, 3,500 clients, 300 employees, 5,700 m2 own warehouse. It sounds so beautiful doesn't it? It’s a pity, but it sounds nice, probably Alexander Nikolaevich doesn’t know what his subordinates, such as Head of the Security Service Proskuryakov, are doing. We can say this is quite inadequate and mediocre behavior of a person. Who thinks that I want it, then I turn it over!!! Violating the laws of the Russian Federation in all respects, considering that there is no justice for him!!!
Other "stars" of the blue screen
As practice shows, popularity in the advertising business can be achieved not only by purebred individuals, but also by simple “mouse-catchers” - photogenicity and charisma in this matter are much more important than noble origin:
- The Gourmet Gold commercial features a luxurious Persian chinchilla. She is wrapped in a fluffy, soft-to-the-touch white fur coat, dusted with “silver.” The cat's real decorations are blue or emerald eyes and a fluffy fan tail. An upturned nose reveals a capricious character that requires increased attention. Chinchillas are very affectionate, devoted creatures who adore children, but are quite selfish and jealous - they will not tolerate other cats. Persian beauties move around the house silently, without destruction, and in the absence of their owners they quietly mourn at the window;
The Persian chinchilla has white fur with a slight silver coating.
A lively mind allows Maine Coons to carry out many commands
A Bengal cat starred in the Perfect Fit Active ad. She has an athletic build and predatory plasticity. Its silky fur of an unusual color for a domestic purr is reminiscent of its wild ancestors - Asian leopard cats. From them the Bengali woman inherited a love of water and walks in the fresh air. At any age, these cats remain hyperactive, inquisitive and cheerful. They become very attached to their owner and love to chat with him about life. Bengalis are very observant, smart, self-confident and are ready to do a lot of mischief to achieve their goals;
Tired of his exploits, the Bengal fidget will peacefully fall asleep next to its owner under a warm blanket
The green eyes of Russian Blue cats are in harmony with the silver-blue fur
Color options, body sizes, eye colors in outbred cats can be very diverse.
In terms of intelligence and intelligence, outbred cats are in no way inferior to their noble brothers.
A cartoon cat was used to advertise Felix food.
British character
If British kittens, like all children, are playful, restless and curious, then adult cats are respectable, intelligent, phlegmatic and leisurely. They will not allow themselves to spoil property, walk past the tray, impose themselves on others, or “chat” in vain. British women will not tolerate familiarity towards themselves and annoying caresses, but they will not take revenge or show aggression either - they will simply move away, maintaining their sense of self-esteem. This quality helps them coexist peacefully with all family members, including small children and other pets.
The British are couch potatoes who prefer to approach life philosophically
An independent animal will calmly endure forced loneliness, but then can joyfully greet the owner at the door, keep him company in front of the TV, and even rub against his legs, showing special affection. It is impossible to force a Briton to do something against his will. A smart “bun” will easily remember his name, adapt to the rules adopted in the house, feel the mood of the owner, but will never play the role of a clown and amuse people with funny tricks. She will even hide from strangers in a secluded place, where she will begin hygiene procedures or indulge in sleep.

What commercials do cats appear in?
If a furry animal is filmed in the video, you can be sure that the TV will not be switched to another channel, and the story will be watched to the end. And there will be many such views. Along with attention to the animal, the viewer will also notice the promoted product. And these are not fantasies or assumptions.
Who else but a lazy cat, who, accompanied by classical music, advertised the “most aerodynamic production car in the world” Mercedes Benz CLA, allowed the automobile giant to end 2014 with a record sales of 1,650 thousand cars.
Diseases
The main problem of the breed is the presence of blood type A, B. When mating with a cat and the blood type is incompatible, weak kittens are born. The cat produces antibodies to a different blood group. They are transmitted through breast milk on the first day. If kittens have a different blood type, they die within 3 days.
British people in America are given a DNA test and the right pair is selected. In our country, such an analysis has not yet been done. Quite often, British people experience heart problems and develop hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This is a genetically determined disease. To prevent pathology, you should visit a veterinarian and maintain the correct diet. If by the age of 8 the disease has not manifested itself in a cat, then it is in good health.
By age category
This cat food is divided into two age groups:
- For adult pets.
- Felix for kittens.
The second category is represented by only one type of product - Purina Felix canned kitten food, appetizing pieces (chicken). The composition contains the following ingredients:
- meat and offal (chicken 4%);
- vegetable protein extracts;
- fish and products of its processing;
- vitamins (A, D3, E) and minerals;
- useful microelements (iron, copper, manganese).
Boris the cat from the Kitekat advertisement
Many have already become convinced of the consistently “high quality” of food for the masses, but they never tire of admiring Boris the cat. He brings smiles to faces. The cat is energetic, inquisitive, cheerful and smart, and how similar he is to hundreds of other cats living in ordinary apartments, just as mongrel, but no less loved for that.
By the way, Boris is a star from Yuri Kuklachev’s cat theater, it was thanks to his curiosity that he ended up among the furry artists from the trash heap. They even say that the nickname stuck to him precisely after the advertisement. And before that, according to one version, his name was Yurka, from the word “nimble.”
Amazing stories are told about the cat from the Kitekat advertisement. For example, instead of sitting peacefully in the aquarium and looking at the “satellite” flying past, as planned in the script, Boris instantly jumped out of the “suit” to attack the glowing thing. Once he even attacked a frog that dared to approach the food bowl. And after his treacherous penetration into the “female” half, five females at once, two months later, pleased with numerous offspring.
Rules of care
The main feature of caring for a British cat is that you will have to pay a lot of attention to its luxurious coat. British cats shed heavily, so it is recommended to brush them at least twice a week. It is better to use soft brushes, rubber or bristles, for the procedure, but a metal comb with medium-frequency teeth rounded at the tips is also suitable. The fur is first scratched according to height, then against it, and the grooming is completed by collecting the fur on a rubber mitten with soft massage movements, which cats really like.
Unlike many other breeds, Britons love to bathe. They need to be washed once every few months using a specialized care shampoo. The water should not be very hot or cold, and after a bath the cat should be carefully dried with a hairdryer, lifting the fur at the roots with a warm stream of air.
Feeding recommendations
Features of feeding your pet depend on the specific type of food:
- Soup. It is offered in addition to the main diet, as it contains a lot of liquid in order to satisfy the animal’s daily need for drinking. For an adult cat weighing about 4 kg, one sachet per day is enough. It is necessary to ensure that the food is at room temperature.
- Assorted with topping. An adult pet weighing about 4 kg requires 3-4 sachets per day. Feeding frequency is twice a day. The food should be at room temperature.
- Double deliciousness. Dry food. An adult cat requires:
- dry only – 70 g per day;
- dry + wet (any) – 50 g + 1 pack of wet (85 g) per day.
- Party mix. An adult pet weighing about 4 kg requires up to 15 g of food or approximately 40 granules per day
Felix Party mix
Tabby color varieties
This coat color has several varieties:
Spotted tabby kitten
- Tiger tabby, or mackerel. Cats of this color resemble tigers in appearance. Like their predatory relatives, their fur coat has characteristic stripes of a darker shade than the main background, which stretch from the back to the stomach. The value of the animal depends on the number of vertical stripes and their clarity.
- Spotted tabby, or spotted. Animals with this color have dark spots of the same size evenly distributed throughout the body. There is an intermittent dark stripe on the back.
- Marble tabby, reminiscent of the pattern on marble.
- Ticked tabby, also known as Abyssinian. Each fur of the owners of this color is painted in 2-3 colors.
Whiskas cats, regardless of the pattern on their body, should have:
- the letter "M" on the forehead;
- a “necklace” on the chest, which can be either closed or open;
- stripes on paws;
- tail rings;
- 1–2 rows of markings on the belly;
- contrasting pattern on the back;
- a light spot on the outside of both ears;
- eyeliner and nose in the color of the main background of the body.
Felix the Cat in world culture
The character's international popularity began already in 1920. Then many musical groups dedicated their compositions to the black and white cartoon character. It is noteworthy that not all groups sought permission from the copyright owner to use the animal’s name in the lyrics.
In 1927, spectators saw a huge inflatable figure of Felix at the Thanksgiving holiday. This event marked a tradition: balloons subsequently became an integral part of parades.
FELIX THE CAT: FELIX IN HOLLYWOOD (1923) Director: Otto Messmer | No IMDb credit for animation Published by One Perfect Shot Saturday, September 12, 2015
Felix the Cat and Charlie Chaplin Together with other heroes of American animation, Felix appeared in the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit, although only in photographs.
The traits of an anthropomorphic animal were often used in the development of other characters. Thus, it is suggested that the famous Sonic the Hedgehog was created on its basis. The purely visual similarity in the structure of the head is difficult to dispute.
Marketers have not been spared the commercially successful image either. From the 1991 Daihatsu Mira advertisement, Japanese drivers learned about the advantages of the car thanks to the rave reviews of the black and white cat. But the first advertisement with this character came out in 1929.
