THOMSON LOCAL DIRECTORIES are breaking their new Television campaign featuring the world's first ever blue cat, during the commercial break of Monday night's Coronation Street.

Behind the cool blue star, there is a classic rag to riches tale. Fame came to him after he was found half starved and neglected when his new owners gave him sanctuary. Thomson believes his talents will make him the best known cat on television.

Cool and sophisticated, he is seen 'morphing' out of the famous blue Thomson Local directory cover, using the same special effect techniques as are used in blockbuster movies.

Inspiration for the blue cat was due to the high level of recall by the public of the original Thomson the Cat (featured in advertisements throughout the eighties). Hence the cat icon has been revived.
