Dancing With Star Paws

Left paw forward and fast cross over with a perky right front paw, tale up, fat cat tummy in, shoulders straight as the whiskers - whew! I'm new at this dancing thing and my smitten kitten self has gotten a bit twisted trying to learn the 2 step ... call it the four footed shuffle for me! (I should have optiCATed for the basic litter Box Step).


Might the mighty meowster have a future feline career with Cirque du Sunray if Dancing With The Stars vetoes me for a feline Flamenco moment? Ya never know how limber your paws just may be so get out and try a fantasticat Foxtrot or go for the gold: a 4 paws up PURRfect Pasa Doble. You very well may surprise your own eyes - and your friends too! And hey, you've only got 2 feet to Tango, I've got 4!


Ciao & Meow and wishing you a nonCATastrophic and not too twisted week,

Nose To Nose - Envirocat In The Know

Saving our planet is FURst on everyone's mind - and it should be if you're an envirocat like me and my pal Stanley! Pause your paws for a kitten second to remember we furry creatures need a healthy planet just like you do. So please, remember to do your part, not just on EarthDay but everyday you should be conscientious cats.


Meet my pal Stanley, he's a cool cat Guinea Pig and we were having a cat chat recently about how we both need non-polluted water and organicat fine foods to keep us pawsatively in good shape. He listens well... actucatly, Stanley listens to me better than most people --- Seems OK to call him a dediCATed pal!

Happy EarthDay Week!
Ciao & Meow,

Cat Attacks The Taxes

Just like you, I've got to get my smitten kitten taxes done PURRfectly, and I'm not going to procatstinate any longer, so I'm giving up my catnap today to spend ions of hours with my catzowey calcucatlator. Be assured my paws are skepticatical over pressing the right buttons to make the IRS purr (just the thought of them makes me hiss!).







Wrestling with the buttons is not a meowvalous moment for the mighty meowster!





Completing my taxes was taxing, but the fat cats at the IRS will be contentacat with me for doing my feline filing on time.Now it's onto some vintage catnip to perk my whiskers up when I awaken from my extremely long catnap. Taxes can be taxing, that's for sure....

Oh La La It's A Fantasticat French Feline

My smitten kitten paws are searching for the infamous French Chef, Jacques 'PURRfect' Pepin - rumor has it his paws are into cooking with mounds of heavy cream (every cat's deliCATible delight). And when I'm on the prowl, you never know what my mighty meowster self may discover - like this collectacatable box I fell into - oh purrs la la it's got that meowvalous french feline touch.

But merci meows ... would you care to guess how many Italian kitties will fit into one French Cat box? Don't lose a purr over it, it's pawsatively easy to figure out - solo mio, only Guido!

Quizzicatically speaking, it's supposed to carry 12 French Cats, or so the box declares - but they must be minicatscule meowsters over in the land of utterly rich butter. C'est le vie, it's not for me. My paws are PURRfectly contentacat with everything Italian!

Catzowey! It's Luxury For Cats

Get your paws over to a bookstore and check out LUXURY FOR CATS, a fantasticat coffee-table sized book (it's even big for this Mighty Meowster!). Author, Patrice Farameh has compiled cats, cats and more cats - but not just we fantastic felines purrfectly profiled as the creatures of habit that we are. You'll see we kitties richly luxuriating here, there and everywhere, and it's in 5 languages too, but she forgot some of us speak Cat Chat - that would have made 6 meowvalous languages!!

Sneak a peak at the book : it's me meowvalously lounging luxuriously. Four Paws up for my PURRsonal photographer Mark Rogers who catapulted my feline face to not 1 but 3 photos in the book's Travel section! He's so good - I'm not even air-brushed! This pawsatively fun photo shoot took place at San Francisco's Pet Camp Cat Safari - it gets a Baby Bengal sized Four Paws up in the Guido Global Awards and it should be in the Zagacat and Michelin guides too! Move on over InterCatinental and Ritz Carlton ... ya ain't got nothing for we cats who want to luxuriate! You'll have to buy the book to revel in the other fantasticat shots and you'll be wishing you were a luxurious cat too!

Ciao & Meow,

InquisiKitty Is Eggstaticat Over Eggs

For centuries, way before Julius Caesar's Cat excelled in shredding Roman togas, it's been said that we cats are up to our whiskers with curiosity. Pawsatively true and I was doggone (oops!) I mean PURRfectly ready to be the inquisikitty to learn how eggs are white for one catnap and then bursting with colors the next. My meowster self now attests, it takes a lot of patience to flip and dip Easter eggs using 4 paws, and imagine me the mighty meowster deliCATly dropping the kitten sized color tabs into the inky dinky cups (wouldn't even hold a good lick of milk!) . But being a purrfectacat, I attacked this project in fervent feline fashion ... even did a paw test to assure the color was dry before setting out to begin my feline frivolity with my new 'roll the neon egg' set.

WARNING:
Egg can appear to be dry (in your rear view mirror or in real life) ... but catzowey, it's not! This is definitely not a meowvalous moment for the mighty meowster - imagine me with abundacat colored kitty lips - pastels too! I got news for you: if it's not my Italian feline flag colors - FURget it!


Wishing you a fantasticat FURst Monday of Spring,
Ciao & Meow

Ancient Irish Tails - oops Tales

Here's hoping your St Patrick's Day is nonCATastrophic. I PURRpose you wiggle your whiskers and catch a little legendary leprechaun. Oh kitty O'Zowey and top O' Catnip container - I'm in full feline Irish spirit and my Emerald Isle fantasticat green eyes are smiling and searching for the wee ones. Got the green scene going here (oh no no no, a kitty kilt is not in the cat cards, don't even think about that!) - I'm Guido, the Italian kitty in catnito and nobody will know I'm not really Irish.

You know I'm an envirocat and pride my paws in being GREEN every day, but today I'm really wrapped up in it. I swear on all of my 9 lives, everybody has a little Irish in them - makes us PURRfect they say!


Happy St. Patri-cat's Day,
GUIDO - The Italian Kitty
