Bristol, U.K.-based Aardman Animations turned out this stop motion spot in which a cat goes on an adventure on a blustery day, getting a glimpse of the goings-on at various homes as people try to get "cozy" in inclement weather. From one dwelling to the next, we see folks getting cozy and comfy on their DFS sofas--and ultimately the cat does too when he returns home.
