Wahhh! The new project I’ve been teasing you about… has been unleashed! As of this moment, my cute Scottish Fold cat Basil Farrow has a daily blog! (http://lacarmina.com/basilfarrow)

First up: a new video of my foldy-eared son! Basil Farrow lies on his back for a tummy rub, pounces on a toy… and for the first time on video, you hear him meow (or rather, “WAHHH!)

Every day, I’ll be posting adorable photos of Basil in the style of a manga – just like Japan’s popular kitty blogs. So please: bookmark the new blog, subscribe, and spread the word.

More reason to celebrate: I’ve teamed up with J-pop merchant J-List to give away FOUR cat-themed prizes! You can win a Lucky Cat bento box, or one of three Maineki Neko solar powered toys.

From now til Monday, head over to J-List or J-Box and search for a photo of my Scottish Fold cat (he’s hidden somewhere on the site). Hint: Basil is attached to a product that I’ve reviewed in the past…

When you’ve found my baby, send an email to treasurehunt@jlist.com with a screenshot or the title of the product featuring the cat photo. J-List will randomly choose four winners.

How about a BONUS prize? If you share the news about the new blog (by emailing your friends, Twittering, blogging, or posting on a forum/social network) – Basil and I will personally send you an adorable present! Just leave a comment telling us how you spread the word, with a link (if applicable).

Ai-yah! I’m excited to give you a daily dose of Basil Farrow’s cuteness! Good luck with the J-List treasure hunt, and enjoy the new blog: http://lacarmina.com/basilfarrow !
