If you’ve read my recommendation<\/a> of Cat Girl’s Day Off<\/i>, by Kimberly Pauley, then you know that Rufus Brutus the Third is a feline force to be reckoned with – even if he has been dyed pink for Breast Cancer Awareness<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My cat Max <\/b>(pictured at right) chatted with Rufus<\/b><\/i> (see him on the book cover below). They decided to give one lucky BooksYALove reader an Advance Reader’s Copy of the book, so follow their instructions to enter the giveaway!<\/p>\n

Max<\/b>: You went through a lot in Chicago to find your person. Was it worth it?
Rufus<\/b><\/i>: My person and I are an inseparable team – I inspire her writing, you know.
Max<\/b>: Yeah, I help my person write by staying nearby, just in case she needs to pet me. And there’s a dog in your life, right?
Rufus<\/b><\/i>: Oh, Fergie! I’ve had hairballs bigger than his wee little brain, but if he makes Easton happy, I’ll put up with him. The imposter [snarl!]<\/i> was terribly mean to Fergie, but took out most of her anger against me.
Max<\/b>: Chasing you with hairspray and perfume? What an awful person!
Rufus<\/b><\/i>: And the things she did to other humans, like my Easton… [snarrrrlll]<\/i> don’t get me started!
Max<\/b>: Did you enjoy getting to meet other cats, despite the circumstances?
Rufus<\/b><\/i>: It’s enlightening to travel, my person always says, and she’s right. If we’d stayed in Hollywood, how would I ever have run into Meep or PD or Queenie or Nat, the cat-fluent person? Maybe she’ll be able to convince my Easton to stop calling me Tiddlywinks and use my real name!
Max<\/b>: Would you ever visit a school again, I mean, after all that craziness with the movie people?
Rufus<\/b><\/i>: Certainly not! Their facilities for felines are definitely sub-par!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Max<\/b>: So here’s how readers can enter to win an Advance Reader’s Copy of Cat Girl’s Day Off<\/i>.
Rufus<\/b><\/i>: But they have to give us their word of honor that they won’t try to sell it!
ARCs may NOT be sold!
Max<\/b>: Exactly, but the winner can share the ARC with other readers.
Rufus<\/b><\/i>: The giveaway is open to readers 13 years and older, with a US mailing address, since Tu Books will ship the ARC directly to the winner.
Max<\/b>: And only 1 entry per human, to make it fair.
Rufus<\/b><\/i>: To avoid those awful, awful spammers, write your e-mail address in the comments like this: RufusBrutusTheThird AT EastonWest DOT com.
Max<\/b>: We’ll take entries through 11:59 p.m. EDT on Monday, April 9th.
I’ll be up then. Will you be up, Rufus?
Rufus<\/b><\/i>: Undoubtedly! Hollywood was made for late-night cats like me.
Max<\/b>: Then all the entries will go in the Randomizer to choose 1 winner. My person will e-mail the winner who must reply to her with their US mailing address by Monday, April 16, 2012.
Rufus<\/b><\/i>: You DO want to get your paws on my heroic tale of bravery as soon as possible, don’t you??
Max<\/b>: Just for fun, add the color of your favorite cat, too.
Rufus<\/b><\/i>: So my person would put “pink” – seems a funny name for such a boring color.*
Max<\/b>: Good luck, everyone, and remember that your cat knows a lot more than he or she is telling you!
