There are about a billion ads with this cat:
the cat's summer vacation
the cat gets ready for a big date
the cat goes to a hot spring
the cat's introduction
the cat gets a massage
the cat goes to a traditional hotel
etc. They're pretty cute!

Yeah, these are ads for Jalan, a site where you can book hotels, rental cars, domestic flights and such in Japan.
Similarly, their spokes-cat's name is Nyalan (にゃらん) -- "nya" being the Japanese equivalent of "meow".

"Yeah, Mr. Cuddlepants, this is Roger down in Accounts Payable again. I see on your January time sheet you have, under job code 457TW, 18 hours for, quote: 'LAYIN IN SUNZ ASLEEPIN' and 14 hours for 'NAPPIN ON HEETERZ'. That's for the 18th, 19th, 20th and 21st when you were back in the office after the Osaka trip. We need some greater detail on that. If you could please outline those specific billable tasks during those periods, it would be appreciated. Thanks so much."
