News & ManCat Monday – Not Too Manly

Monday, October 29th, 2007

Gaius is not afraid of putting his ManCat status in jeopardy by playing with anything pink. Though he might be a little put out if I mentioned that the only color that was available on his litter box upgrade was… Jelly Pink with a frosted white snap on railing. We were in a hurry and in dire need of a big-boy litter box, but all they had at PetSmart were those giant bathtub types. We felt kind of bad, but he doesn’t seem to mind pink too much. He doesn’t let it get in the way of his ManCatliness.

—CONTEST NEWS!
The first bit of new deals with the Upcoming Contest. Gaius has given the Paw Up to leak a little more details for those with questions. The Contest will be open to all animals, he does not discriminate against hoof, feather or woofie and we want this to be fun for all the pets out there and those who love them.

—COOL BEAN NEWS!
As you might already know, Gaius the Cat’s Beans are professional Photographers. Snapping pictures all day long is what they do to keep the little furball in kibble and nip. Well, his Mom-Bean Kelly is excited to announce that she is currently doing the Food Styling and Photography for a cookbook!

The cookbook is being written by Lisa Lillien creator of the fabulous Hungry Girl website and will be released by St Martin’s Press in Spring 2008. So chances are Gaius might miss a day or two since he needs Mom-Bean Kelly’s fingers to dictate his adventures to the blogosphere and she will be busy in the studio. In the meantime, if you want you should head over to Hungry Girl and check it out. It’s a place packed with food information made for people who like food. And you should try out some of the flavor packed, decadent and guilt free recipes they are as awesome as the woman who created them!

We would tell you more about the book, but we have to keep a tight lid on things until it is released. So keep your eyes peeled here for more upcoming information on this project.

Festive Furriday – Welcome Home Dusty!

Friday, October 26th, 2007

Gaius is ready to Pounce!

He is very excited because it’s his UncleBean Dusty’s birthday today AND the UncleBean is coming home from his second trip to Nagoya Japan! Yay! Welcome Home, we’ve all missed you (especially the Sis-Bean) :)
Have a safe flight Dusty and when you get a chance Gaius has a few Birthday Pounces for you, and his Beans have loads of hugs.

Happy Birthday Dusty!!!

Chillin’ Out Tabby Boy

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

The funny thing about Gaius the Cat is that he is not devoted to one person in our household. he spends a little time with the Mom-bean and then goes over to the Dad-Bean… back and forth all night long. He spreads his love absolutely equally between both his Parents, although he does get a little miffed and gives us evil stares when we are hugging on each other… because he wants all the love ALL the time.

But here he is just about as content as a kitty can possible be, all snuggled up on the couch against his blanketed beans while watching TV.

Gaius the Cat especially likes the intro segment to the new Doctor Who… sooo swirly!

Getting into the Pink

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

As you probably noticed, Gaius the Cat is Raising a Paw for Breast Cancer Awareness this month. There are loads of charitable organizations out there that support Awareness and Research for a Cure. We thought we would start spreading the word by posting a few links to places that we support:

Encourage the women in your life to get regularly scheduled mammograms. Early detection can be a life saver. Help support through spreading the word and donating.

Man Cat Monday

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

Life is tough for the little Manly Man Cat. Gaius the Cat has his own personal “throne” at the doorway of our Office. He is a slave driver and oversees our work… making sure we get enough done to keep him in feather toys, kibbles and nips for a long time to come.

The Furry Monarch also demands a “Cuteness Tax” if we enter or leave the room. This consists of petting, belly rubs and mild rough housing followed by loving looks and purrs which signals to us that we have been given permission to leave to use the bathroom, get a drink or get back in the office and get some work done.

Easy Like Sunday Morning

Sunday, October 21st, 2007

Sooo sweet! Little Gaius the Cat has a penchant for doing cute things to prevent us from getting on with our day. I mean how can you resist such a smiley content face all cuddled up on you. It would be a crime to disturb his slumber.

Every since Gaius came to live with us, we have petted him all over, getting him used to being touched. We found out early on that he likes little “Paw Massages” and if you put your fingers down at the pads of his little feet he will curl his paw around your finger and if we try to leave, he pulls you closer to him as if to say “Awww don’t leave me.”

Game Face

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

Have you ever watched your Friends or Kids while they play video games? Have you ever noticed that they all make really strange faces as they concentrate while playing? Lots of the time it’s either biting the lip or it’s this weird thing with sticking the tongue out… or even a combination of both. Well, Gaius the Cat is no different, here he has his little game face on while he plays with his dangley tiger tail feather toy thingymabob. Notice the l33t f0cus…

He has mad concentration skillz.
