My Interview with STACHE the Celebrity Cat

Stache is the dashingly handsome mustachoied member of the Dobbikats, four Oriental Shorthair brothers who reside in New Jersey.

Pssst…Secretly, he is also a big mama’s boy.

KATNISS: Stache, it’s good to chat with you again. You were litter-ally one of my very furst interviews when I was starting out.

STACHE: Yes, I remember we found each other through the Feline Film Festival FB page.

KATNISS: You had just broken onto the Internet Cat scene. You’ve come a long way since then, from appearing on Jimmy Kimmel to being featured in the new Dobbikats clothing line, which is pawesome, by the way.

STACHE: Thanks! I think our purrchandise designs are very amewsing – they really capture our sense of humor.

KATNISS: Another thing that’s changed in the past few years is that you have 3 brothers now – Teddy, Bindi and Dexter. I always see photos of you hanging out together in yurts or the dryer or on a cat condo or squeezed into a bed. Does that mean you’re really good furiends?

STACHE: Oh, yes. We like to pile on top of each other for warmth, like a meowtain of cats. Sure, sometimes we have our spats, but overall we’re furtunate that we enjoy each other’s company. We also love heated cushions and Hartz Pets Squeeze Up treats, but that’s another story,

KATNISS: This year, Teddy and Dexter did meet-and-greets at the Catsbury Park Cat Convention. Why didn’t you join them? Were you too shy?

STACHE: No, I love my fans! But the four of us together are pretty high energy and it would’ve been too much of a juggling act for our Meowmy. But as fur the future, don’t count meowt!

KATNISS: Speaking of your Humom, I know you are very attached to her.

STACHE: Yes, I have a very deep bond with my Meomwy. When I first came to live with her, I was kind of scared and unsure. But I quickly grew to trust her and love her. Now I follow her everywhere, give her head butts and snuggles and let her know how much I appurrciate her.

KATNISS: That’s sweet.

STACHE: I love my brothers, too. I enjoying grooming them. Even Bindi, who thinks he’s boss, will calm down enough to get a good tongue bath.

KATNISS: I don’t want to pussyfoot around here – earlier this year, I saw photos posted of you wearing the dreaded Donut of Shame. If it’s not too purrsonal, can you tell us what happened?

STACHE: I had an obstruction and had to have surgery. It was very scary! I ate a crinkle ball which could have resulted in a cat-astrophe. Anyway, I’m feline better now. Although I’ve noticed I’m never left alone with crinkle balls anymore….

KATNISS: I remember you used to really be into pipe cleaners.

STACHE: Oh, I still love them! I get a lot of cardio chasing them all over the place.

KATNISS: And do you still try to open a bag of treats by throwing them in the air?

STACHE: Fur sure!
