The similarity is too eerie to be ignored. Ben Popken has pointed out that Purina's packaging has a great similarity to many a Christian icon. In other words, for those who want to go beyond PETA and treat their animals as more than equals, Purina is one step ahead of you.
It's not like an artist doing a "riff," or an "homage," rather, Purina is tapping into a thematic trope deeply embedded in mankind's consciousness. That's kinda creepy, weird, and funny, to boot.Purina Cat Food Logo Rips Off Christianity - Consumerist
To this, I say it's sad Purina has come a little too late for the ancient Egyptians who — as we all know — worshipped their cats. Perhaps if the Pharaohs knew of Purina's formula, their cats would have lived longer and hence would have done a better job of killing all the mice that infiltrated the pyramids.
