Has anyone seen it? The cat - a gorgeous silver tabby - is featured giving a
shoulder massage to a woman.

No, I haven't seen it.  However, I just got back from seeing "Children of
Men", and it seemed there was a dog or a cat in almost every scene.  That
gave me something to enjoy, since I only understood about a third of the
dialogue, couldn't tell the bad guys from the good guys (with one or two
exceptions), and found the plot rather confusing.

Since we don't have Walgreen's, obviously I haven't seen it, but Caliban
has started giving me wonderful neck-and-shoulder massages. I just wish
he would do it for longer at a time. Having 5.5 kilos of cat walking
around on your aching neck and shoulders is really nice! But he always
ends up flopping down around my neck, then he slowly slides down into my
arms. Then my shoulders hurt again, from holding 5.5 kilos of cat. ;)

I've seen it and thought it was very clever.  Wish I could get my cats to
give me a back massage!

Is it one of those advertising they're "always open", or for
a product?  (Obviously I've not seen it, yet.)

You know what, I was so taken with watching the cat that I didn't even
notice what kind of ad it was! I only paid enough attention to the dialogue
to find out what company the ad mentions, so I could report on it here.

Maybe blkcatgal knows....

Pat,
I'm like you....I was watching the cat so much that I didn't pay attention
to the commercial itself.  I don't think it was for a particular product,
though, just a general-type commercial.  I'll have to watch for it again.

It was basically promoting that they have various products to make you feel
better, and the commercial showed the mom seeing the family helping around
the house so the mom didn't have as much to do and could relax - the man
doing yard work, kids doing other chores, and then she's sitting on the
couch with that sweet silver tabby kneading her back :)

WELL!!  I finally managed to catch it, almost a month after
it was first mentioned here.  Cute, I agree.  Wish my girls
would do that - Melisande only does the side of my (bare)
neck, and leaves claw marks.  (The clueless dermatologist I
went to for something else noticed it and mistook it for a
rash - for which he tried to prescribe an expensive ointment!)

Speaking of commercials with cats, there's one with a leopard that I like
to look at. It shows a woman dressed in a beautiful red dress, being pulled
along by a leopard on a leash. The leash is made of multicolored translucent
beads. At one point, the leash breaks and the beads go all over the place.
Then you see that the whole scene was being shown on a flat-screen TV, and
the beads start falling through the TV screen and onto the table the TV is
sitting on. The leopard also jumps through the screen. It's a commercial for
a Hitachi TV, maybe HDTV? I'm not sure, I watch it with the sound off. One
time I turned on the sound to watch it, but that annoyed me. I'd rather
stare at all the beautiful images in silence.

I'm all for watching beautiful pictures on TV in silence, but then again I
don't have a lot of choice,

Will someone please tell me what they are advertising in the commercial with
a beaver and Abe Lincoln and some guy at a table?

Uncaptioned commercials annoy me.  Programs are required to caption, most
commercials do as well, and I find the ones that don't bother kind of
insulting.

I don't remember what they're advertising, but it's supposed to be some
guy's dream, I know that much. He's having a little chat with the characters
from his dream(s).

I believe that is for a sleeping aid. Rozerem?

Some brand of sleeping pill, the guy tells them he hasn't
been sleeping.  The critters in the dream are urging him to
take it so he can visit them in his dreams, again - they
miss seeing him.

Sleeping pills.  Rozerem.  The story is that "some guy" sees Lincoln
and the beaver in his dreams, but hasn't slept well lately.

That's one of the problems with commercials, even clever ones.  We may
remember a commercial that is out of the ordinary, but often we don't
remember the product.  I knew it was some sleep aid, but couldn't tell you
which one.  I've seen car commercials that affect me the same way.  I find
them entertaining, or maybe annoying, but have no idea what make of car is
being advertised.

I saw this too. It is so funny because there has been many a time when the
cats have briefly messaged a shoulder and I've said "Why don't you do the
whole back!"

I still love that old commercial for Advantage where the dogs and cats
are in chairs like a classroom or something. One big fat cat seems so
intent on being noticed it falls right off the chair.
