Gus is feeling absolutely thrilled by everyone's support.  He's quite overwhemed and wanted to say a few words to you all.

Remember to support Gus in his quest to be the next Gather Pet Star!

 

 





 

He's not usually this verbal.

I kinda hang out at the site and trash talk those who disrespect the little fellow.
I declare you to be Gus' Official Bouncer.
elizabeth e. Aug 23, 2009, 6:00pm EDT
Such a fine voice on Gus....he is just so articulate.
Yeah, I always think he sounds like he has a clothespin on his nose.
elizabeth e. Aug 23, 2009, 6:36pm EDT
Does he?
No, but some dirt may be stuck up in there.
Kris M. Aug 23, 2009, 6:16pm EDT
Wow, that was an awfully lucid speech from Gus. I didn't know he had it in him.
You couldn't ever notice his slur from his broken jaw, could you?
Marianne R. Aug 23, 2009, 6:22pm EDT
He's so articulate
He was a lot clearer before "the accident".
Gus has the ability to speak his mind better than some of the people here.
That's a major understatement, EM.
Ellie !. Aug 23, 2009, 6:37pm EDT
Gus Rocks! Oh, and he speaks, too.
Gus , the one-eyed cat Aug 23, 2009, 6:40pm EDT
I often have a lot to say, but no one seems to want to listen.
Peregrine * Aug 23, 2009, 8:47pm EDT
People are listening now, Gus.

He can even talk without moving his lips, what a cat!
He's a ventrilocat.
Grems 'gremlin' Aug 23, 2009, 8:53pm EDT
A fine feline of many talents I would say.
Hmmm, does he sing, too?

Speaking of, I have had "The Ballad of Gus The One Eyed Cat" stuck in my head ALL day. Worse could have happened to me, of course; it was just REALLY fun explaining to co-workers what the hell I was humming to myself (since I only know the line, "He's a one eyed cat." )
I've had this same experience. Having an earworm of one of Kevin's creations isn't nearly as bad as having a George Michael song stuck in your head.
CC Miranda the artrat (or am i?) Aug 24, 2009, 12:39pm EDT
my friend greg was here when i played the song and all night he kept bringing that song up in conversation.
It's so catchy that I can't understand why it hasn't become the biggest hit on YouTube for '09.
Can Gus produce the long form of his birth certificate?

I don't care. He's perfect for the job.
We may be in trouble with this one, Nip. Some say he was born in Hawaii, but there are those who debate that.
Grems 'gremlin' Aug 23, 2009, 8:00pm EDT
Great speech Gus.
Opal A. Aug 23, 2009, 8:02pm EDT
Gus touches my heart.
Gus would really like to touch you, Opal. *wink wink*
Gus inspires me every day to strive for feline perfection.
You need to get some dreadlocks.
Kimberly Ripley Aug 23, 2009, 10:32pm EDT
Gus makes quite the ventriloquist!
Aniko   Aug 24, 2009, 12:22am EDT
You're a talented speaker, Gus!
Lisa Frost Aug 24, 2009, 12:52am EDT
Do you ever have trouble with him ordering from the local fish market?
I think Gus is great!!
No, but pizzas with anchovies keep showing up here. I think I know who's been ordering them, now.
Tracy Fabre Aug 24, 2009, 1:41am EDT
I think all cats should be ventriloquists.
Monica H. Aug 24, 2009, 6:26am EDT
He sounds so confident. I'm with you Gus..........I have my sign out in my yard with your name on it little buddy.

My kids and I are out there every day chanting, "Vote for Gus. Vote for Gus."
He's proud to accept the youth vote.
Barb (Gather Site Ferret) Carlson Aug 24, 2009, 10:14am EDT
He got the ferret vote at my house. :)
I think he was coached.

But that's okay with me.
Aniko   Aug 24, 2009, 1:33pm EDT
He's looking up at something--the teleprompter, perhaps?
Are you two suggesting he didn't do this on his own?!
CC Miranda the artrat (or am i?) Aug 24, 2009, 12:42pm EDT
wow, it was so great to hear from Gus himself! what a shining example he is for all the disabled cats out there of how one can still achieve great things despite the physical set backs.

GO GUS
He's the perfect supporter for the handicapped.
Dame Ruth, Chief Executive Elitist D. Aug 24, 2009, 3:56pm EDT
As a Gus supporter, I would appreciate some talking points to rebut the opposition's rancorous accusations of non-citizenship, party bias and waffling on issues. (And if that isn't a set up, I never hoid one...think Groucho. Go for it).
When it comes to you and Groucho, I just keep my mouth shut. :/
Dame Ruth, Chief Executive Elitist D. Aug 24, 2009, 7:45pm EDT
Chicken! BWAK BWAK BWAK!!!
Dannielle S. Aug 24, 2009, 8:06pm EDT
Dame Ruth was hoping for a syrupy speech.
Dannielle S. Aug 24, 2009, 8:07pm EDT
Or perhaps a toast to all Gus supporters.
Or perhaps an allusion to her fling with Groucho.
Dame Ruth, Chief Executive Elitist D. Aug 24, 2009, 10:15pm EDT
No, she was hoping for a zippy riff on "waffling on issues"...Dannielle got it.
lynn a. Aug 26, 2009, 3:05pm EDT
Gus is quite a guy!
I'm always amazed that he's retained his ability to speak after all of that trauma.
