Pika the cat, caught on tape while in a deep…deep sleep.  Perhaps on Live Like a Cat Day, you will want to sleep like this, too!

We’ve reached our first major milestone as we have 200 confirmed guests on the Live Like a Cat Day Facebook Event Page!  Bobo is very excited about this news, but thinks we can do better.  Bobo demands at least 1,000,000 confirmed guests and needs YOU to help in this grassroots effort.  What?  You’re not on Facebook?  Loser.  Well.. if you’re not, no big deal…but it certainly seems to be a good way to spread the word.  Whatever you can do is appreciated (*cough* link to our site *cough*), tell your friends and family, spread the word on your Myspace account, YouTube, your favorite forum…whatever.

Remember, if you link to us, we will put a link to you in our sidebar.  Our traffic is growing at a rapid rate, so if you like free traffic, consider exchanging links with us.  Ok, that’s about all for now… time for dinner and a nap.

Nala the cat demonstrates one of the many ways you can take a nap on Live Like a Cat Day. This was made by YouTube user Documind. “Nala, has discovered some interesting napping positions. Nala is a Bengal and the smartest & happiest cat I’ve ever known.”

Bobo decided to take a break today and lounge around inside our potted Olive tree.  Luckily, I was able to grab the camera in time to get some footage of her nuttiness and turn it into a little promo video for Live Like a Cat Day.

I found this picture on Flickr and contacted Scott, the owner of the photo and he generously gave me permission to post it here.  On the floor is Kato the Cat and on the couch is Scott.  Here is how they spent their Thanksgiving:

“For the first time since I can remember, I didn’t do Thanksgiving with my family this year. I had been working a lot of late nights recently, and I really didn’t feel like dealing with the holiday traffic, so I decided to stay in town for Thanksgiving. It also turned out that a few of my buddies were staying in town as well, so we banded together for our own little holiday celebration.

All in all, it was a great Thanksgiving. It was very laid-back and relaxing. I ate lots of good food. I drank some good wine. And I got to do all of it with some great friends. Definitely a good way to spend Thanksgiving. “

You too can have a buzz on Live Like a Cat Day! LOL!
