I am delighted new images are soon to be released as a special one month collaboration.

PRESS RELEASE
The art of spoiling
Artist Marilyn Robertson’s cat motifs featured on pet food packaging
Krefeld, 29.04.2010. Elegant and headstrong – Sebastian, Thomas, Madison and Sophia are the work
of British artist Marilyn Robertson. The self-confessed cat lover has been specialising in cat drawings
with her “Catitudes” art series. As of June, five of her cat motifs will adorn the packaging of a “real
nature” limited edition series – one of the exclusive brands obtainable only from Fressnapf.
“Cats are downright individuals, their attitude and body language is very striking”, says Marilyn
Robertson describing her fondness for these velvet-pawed creatures. “My work is often called elegant
and sophisticated. You look for these characteristics in an animal – and voilà – you discover in the cat
an animal with style and charm”, The first Catitude cat which Robertson brought to life in her studio is
called Jasper: “I’ve told my family and friends how Jasper stretched and strained, sprang from the
easel and swaggered out of my studio in search of adventure in the big wide world”, explains the
Briton. Jasper & Co. were initially illustrated on art prints which have been sold worldwide. For over
five years now, the cat motifs have appeared on a multitude of products from Asia, Europe and North
America. “These cats are extremely fond of travelling!” says the artist, happily. “It’s lovely that my cats
are going to be associated with a top quality Fressnapf product – that suits their personality.”
Each one of Robertson’s “paper” cats is just as individual as the real nature limited edition recipes. To
do justice to the choosy cat palate, ingredients for the limited edition have been selected and
combined with the greatest of care. The result is five unique recipes which can be had in the new
premium fresh-pouch or as premium tinned food.
Fresh-pouch for adult cats:
· Beef & poultry with figs and sunflower seeds
· Duck & shrimps with seaweed and sesame
Fresh-pouch for young cats:
· Poultry with pear and hazelnut
Tins for adult cats:
· Salmon & chicken with semolina and apricot
· Venison & lamb with apple and aloe vera
real nature moist food for cats is obtainable exclusively at over 1,100 Fressnapf stores: the limited
edition fresh-pouch will be available from June to August and in tins from June to July. The Fressnapf
private label uses only 100 percent natural ingredients with no artificial additives or preservatives.
