MY SCOTTISH FOLD CAT IS ON DISCOVERY CHANNEL, SATURDAY 8PM! ANIMAL PLANET CATS 101 TV SHOW & RADIO INTERVIEW.
Set your Tivos. My Scottish Fold cat, Basil Farrow, will be on Discovery Channel / Animal Planet on Saturday night! He will be featured in an episode of Cats 101, a program dedicated to fuzzy felines.
My Scottish Fold is in the episode with this description: “Turkish Van; Snowshoe; Chartreux; Bengal; Domestic housecat; fat cats; Balinese.” It airs Saturday, September 25th at 8pm (I think for both Eastern and Pacific Time, but check your provider to be sure). As you may have guessed, my roly-poly bear will be in the “fat cats” segment. I hope you won’t miss his TV debut!
Here’s something else to mark on your calendars. Asian Boston (who recently featured me in a magazine article) is interviewing me on their radio show. We’ll be chatting about my work for 30 minutes, beginning at 11am PT / 2pm ET on Saturday. We welcome you to call in and ask questions. You can listen to the radio show live here.
Thank you to Style Sample magazine for interviewing me in their latest publication. Flip through the entire Issue 9 here.
Don’t forget to tune in to Cats 101 on Saturday, 8pm, Discovery Channel! You can get a sneak peak of Basil Farrow playing and wahh-ing on our YouTube channel. And I will post new images of him on his Facebook tomorrow, so be sure to friend him.

HELLO KITTY SANRIO SHOPS IN TOKYO. SUNSHINE CITY IKEBUKURO SHOPPING CENTER, SANRIO KIDS FESTIVAL.
Hello Kitty hell… or heaven? Sunshine City in Ikebukuro is one of the best places in Tokyo to buy cute character goods (see photos of kawaii stores in this post.) The Sanrio store within has a huge selection of “grown-up” designer Hello Kitty accessories and toys.
I can’t keep up with the latest Sanrio characters… anyone know the name of the rabbit?
In the central atrium, Ikebukuro Sunshine City was hosting a Sanrio event for kids (and adults)…
… ominously called Power of Characters!
You could grab a gift bag, or pick up a Hello Kitty charm for your cell phone.
There were various festival-style games for youngsters, including a “fish the Kitty out of the water” and this bizarre playpen.
This looks a lot like a casino for kids…
Or how about some popcorn, made by Hello Kitty herself?
Hello Kitty — like, dislike? For more, please take a look at my photos of the Sanrio theme park, Puroland, also featured in my Theme Restaurants book. I have maps to Sunshine City and other Ikebukuro hotspots here.
