As Mark Twain once said, the Mississippi River is a “wonderful book with a new story to tell every day.” Be sure to watch the mini-series to find out just how right he was in saying this!

“Friskies is always looking for new ways to enhance play experiences for cats,” says Alison Coburn, assistant brand manager for Friskies. “We’re asking our Friskies Facebook community to join us in this one-of-a-kind engagement opportunity to help create a space as amazing as the cats that will live there for the next two weeks. They can tune in daily to see how the cats respond to their choices in real-time, and find new inspiration for play with their own cats. And we hope they’ll be inspired to help ensure these cats and many more find forever homes.”

MeoowzResQ helps find permanent homes for hundreds of cats each year, and has many other great adoptables in addition to those in The Playhouse.

For two weeks, the 10 cats will enjoy an amazing space full of feline fun! There is a large built-in aquarium, touch floor to play Friskies® Games for Cats and many unique climbing spaces. Each day “extras,” or new engagement features, will be added to the Playhouse based on input from the Friskies Facebook community. Extras up for vote may include a large climbing tree, tunnel system and bubble machine. Final decisions will depend on Facebook community votes.

Visit the Friskies Facebook page to watch the cats in the Playhouse live from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. EST every day, February 6 through February 19. You can also watch the Friskies YouTube channel for daily highlights and recap videos.

A lot of the fun will happen through The Friskies Facebook community! Not only can you help decide on extras for the cats, but you can also interact with them! The Friskies Plus Play Live gives fans the ability to “play” with real cats in real time. It’s a modified version of iPet Companion, created by AliceVISION™, which says its free app boosts adoptions, donations and sponsorships in pet rescue and adoption shelters worldwide. The Friskies Plus Play Live feature will be active on Friskies Facebook page during the Playhouse daily broadcast from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. EST/noon to 3 p.m. PST daily February 6 through February 19.

It looks like the dogs approve of their new ride, an all-wheel-drive 2012 Kizashi sport sedan! They even seem to like the music as they move to the beat! We thought the ad was fun, but even better than the ad is that Suzuki will be giving away BARKCODE® tags to the first 1,000 consumers to register on www.KizashiKicks.com/sled starting on Super Bowl Sunday!

Why is this awesome? Each personalized pet identification tag has a scannable 2D code, making it easy for pet owners to be reunited with their four-legged friends when they are lost or even misplaced during a natural disaster. With each tag that is ordered through the Kizashi Kicks website, BARKCODE®, on behalf of Suzuki, will donate three dollars to the American Red Cross for disaster relief and preparation to help people and pets. For additional information on BARKCODE®, please visit www.barkcode.com.
