From Yahoo! News- AP, "Ford Motor Co. is upset by the release of an Internet advertisement that depicts the decapitation of a computer-animated cat by a power moonroof hatch, saying it didn't authorize the clip.

The hatch slides closed, the cat struggles briefly and its headless body slides to the ground."
