Orange is the new cat

As my faithful readers know, Mama G is on a quest, so far unsuccessful, to make me famous. Well there’s a lot of competition out there, with plenty of cats pitching cat products such as food and litter. But like me, Mama G likes to think outside the box, so she came up with an idea recently that I like.

First, a little background. Mama G hates to shop, but if she has one favorite store, it’s Home Depot. Most women, as I understand it, like to hit clothing or shoe stores when they’re feeling a bit down, or just feel like shopping. Not Mama G. She likes to head for Home Depot for a new power tool, or maybe just some wood and nails to build something that she’s dreamed up in her head. There’s a lot going on up there, I think.

She recently came back from a trip to the store and realized that there is no paint color that looks like me. I agree: None of the samples even comes close! And that’s a little depressing to me, because we look to cues in the world to discover who we are.

So, Sherwin Williams, Benjamin Moore and Behr, are you listening? How about adding Oxbow Orange to your palette?

  1. Dear Mr. Oxbow, You are a very unique individual. I don’t know of any other feline friends who have their own blog. Your uniqueness includes the handsome coloration of your earth suit. I don’t think it can be replicated in something as pedestrian as paint. In fact, when your Mamas photograph you, the lighting that surrounds you influences your overall color. That fur of yours is magic and no computer colormatching of any photo of you will ever replicate the “orange” that is you.
