Television and the Internet are full of videos that resonate with millions of viewers. A striking example of this is the cute cat from the Sheba brand cat food advertisement, who starred with actress Eva Longoria.
He is so magnificent that many people, after watching the video, wanted to get the same pet. So which cat is featured in the Sheba food commercial and why did the company choose her to promote its brand?
What breed of cat is in the Sheba ad?
Cat food and accessories manufacturer Sheba has released several commercials featuring pets. But TV viewers especially remembered and loved the one in which Eva Longoria starred with the cat Nick.
After watching the video, hundreds of people wanted to get a pet with the same silver fur and smart emerald eyes.
The cat advertising food "Sheba" belongs to the Russian Blue breed. It actually belongs to Eva Longoria. The girl loves her cat very much, and this can be seen even on the screen. The actress performs a passionate dance to beautiful music, and the pet plays along with her, as if showing that he deserves a portion of Sheba food.
A fragile, flexible and gentle young woman and her strong but graceful cat perfectly complement each other in the advertisement.
Sheba food composition
Naturally, the main ingredient is meat, which is a distinctive feature of Sheba food among its analogues in economy class. Manufacturers assure that fish, poultry and other types of meat are used in production only fresh, freezing is excluded.
In addition to meat products, Sheba food includes:
- Tapioca. Cassava roots ground into flour is a natural product containing starch. It quickly saturates the animal due to its high fiber content, which normalizes digestive processes in cats;
- Taurine. This substance is often used when preparing dietary foods; it helps improve heart function, sharpens vision and increases the efficiency of the gastrointestinal tract;
- Vegetable fats. They add shine to your pet’s fur;
- Omega acids. Serve to normalize metabolic processes;
- Vitamins E. These supplements improve regenerative processes and act as antioxidants.
According to veterinarians' recommendations, a cat's diet should contain a sufficient amount of animal proteins. Sheba food meets these recommendations and does not contain plant proteins or soy.
Why Russian Blue?
A huge number of views on popular video hosting sites indicates that this commercial has won the hearts of Russian viewers. Of course, Russian Blue cats have a special charm.
Everything about them is beautiful - physique, grace, look, coat color. This is probably why I chose this breed to promote through advertising of my brand.
The Russian Blue fits perfectly with the company's concept - before this, British shorthair and Scottish fold cats were featured in its videos. Representatives of these breeds have one thing in common - a gray-blue coat color, shimmering with silver.
This is a kind of “handwriting”, a reflection of her corporate style.
Marketers did not use kittens with white, red, motley or tabby fur in advertising, because viewers already associate such colors with other food manufacturers. Black animals subconsciously cause rejection in superstitious people.
Taking all these factors into account, the company chose short-haired smoky silver cats.
In addition to the beautiful solid color, the Russian Blue breed has other advantages that allowed its representative Nick to star in the “Sheba” commercial:
- strong physique;
- bright green eye color;
- gracefulness of movements;
- photogenic;
- balanced character.
But the most important thing is that this particular cat is ideal for the heroine of the advertisement. An elegant, gentle, but at the same time passionate girl looks harmonious with her affectionate pet.
Eva Longoria herself somehow resembles a cat - her movements are light, smooth, like a puma. The heroine of the advertisement and her beloved cat literally became the face of the Sheba brand, which produces cat food.

Lonne Van Den Kieboom from the Netherlands starred in an advertisement for feminine hygiene products. She appeared before the audience as an employee on a ship in a dazzling snow-white uniform. In fact, Lonne actually works on the ship, but she doesn't look as stylish, since her job involves servicing engines and other equipment at sea. Therefore, in real life, judging by her page on social networks, she dresses very simply and modestly.
What do veterinarians say?
Sheba food has quite controversial reviews from cat owners, but veterinarians mostly speak positively about these products. And this is a rather important fact, since it is the specialist who is able to make the correct conclusion.
Recently, veterinarians, before voicing their thoughts regarding this or that food, began to practice introducing it into the diet of their animals. And laboratory studies conducted on the basis of analyzes of these pets are a fundamental factor for a truthful conclusion. Sheba food was subjected to the same procedure and the results regarding the health of the pets who consumed it were positive.
In addition, veterinarians pay special attention to the taurine content in this product, which helps the food to be absorbed and relieves the animal of any digestive problems. This process is also facilitated by natural ingredients: meat and vegetables. As a result, no dense substances are formed upon exit, and the stool is timely.
The vegetable fats that make up this food have also been noted by many veterinarians. According to experts, it is thanks to these fats that cats’ fur becomes shiny and their skin becomes healthy!
