one of these things is almost just like the other

I was googling for something totally unrelated to anything on this page. Maybe the tag "advertising" was picked up when I was searching for the "wake up people" ad (see previous post). It was a while ago. I can't remember. Anyway, I was immediately struck by the similarity of the cat on the ad to a rubber cat puppet I have at home that I bought in some obscure town in Florida. It wasn't even close to Halloween.
