The bearded cat

I've been getting a lot of requests for information about the Howard cat that appears behind me on "Sunrise." Grant Kagimoto handpainted it in May 2004 and sent it to me. I thought it was witty and kept it on my cluttered desk at Pacific Business News, but when I joined KGMB9 and we decided to choose just two or three items a day to display, I decided to promote the cat and make it a regular fixture. Google for more information on Grant, who does a number of different kinds of arts and crafts, and co-owns the art company Cane Haul Road.     Grant Kagimoto, owner of Cane Haul Road, sells his goods now at Native Books and Beautiful Things, as well as from a storefront in Moiliili
