I suppose they are entitled to as we change a lot of stuff like:

Marathon to Snickers
Jif - Cif

 :evillaugh:

Mary

Marathon was changed to Snickers cos the Americans didn't like the name and it wasn't selling.  After the name change it took off.

Two of the adverts, they call it Kattomeat for some reason:

It was originally called kattomeat and the cat was called Arthur. They changed it to Arthur's because Arthur was so popular.

I can still smell the original Kitekat if I close my eyes; nothing worse than a big kiss from a cat who'd just devoured a bowl of the mushy pink stuff :sick:

We had a white cat when I was a child, so of course I insisted he needed white cat food.  :rofl: of course he got Arthur's.  ;D

Yep, I remember the ads too - maybe Spillers were taken over by another company?  I never bought it for my cat.

I was wondering what had happened to Arthur's cat food. Remember the gorgeous white cat dipping his paw in the tin. Holly loved Arthur's.  ;D
