Three mobile’s new advert"},"content":{"rendered":"

It seems mobile phone company Three are hoping to bank on Britain\u2019s love of furry felines with their new \u2018Sing It Kitty\u2019 advert.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The follow up to their hit \u2018Dance Pony Dance\u2019 advert from last year, sees a young girl and her pet cat cycling round their neighbourhood whilst miming to Starships\u2019 1985 single \u2018We Built This City.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"sing<\/a><\/p>\n

Viewers of the advert originally believed the cute moustached feline was completely computer generated, however it has been revealed that the exotic shorthair is seven-month-old kitten Simcris Bronte Bronjoy – Bronte for short – from Warwickshire.<\/p>\n

Her owners Caroline and Lyndon Bailey couldn\u2019t believe it when the television company selected Bronte as the new star. \u201cWe got a call from an agency saying they wanted a short haired exotic but didn’t explain what they wanted her for.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"sing<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s just like winning the lottery, there are thousands of cats and kittens in Britain – it just so happens that Bronte is special – I always knew she was a star,\u201d said Caroline.<\/p>\n

After she was cast, a cat trainer was flown in from LA to teach Bronte how to ride in the basket and look into the camera.<\/p>\n

\"sing<\/a><\/p>\n

Fans can star in their own version of the video with Bronte by uploading a picture of their face. They can then watch themselves mime and ride around the cul-de-sac in what Three has described as \u2018an epic and emotion-filled journey.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
