Joe Weider would be proud of this cat (1970)

Ralston Purina's ad agency may have had bodybuilding icon Joe Weider in mind when they came up with this ad in 1970.

An average "97 pound weakling" (voiced by Marvin Kaplan, ex-Top Cat) is forced off the beach and away from his girlfriend by a bully cat. Substitute Purina Cat Chow for the Weider Method, and......



The announcer at the end is William Schallert (ex-The Patty Duke Show), who was a studio announcer for ABC at the time, and would also be the original voice of Milton the Toaster when shilling for Kellogg's Pop Tarts.
