First, this important message.

Please understand that Lean Cat is not a catalog featuring the most current products, prices and an order form. Instead we help you quickly see the kinds of products being offered by various merchants.

This way you don't waste time going blindly from store to store, as if you were in a huge mall with no display windows.

However, although the tours are reasonably current, on occasion a product shown may no longer be available. We appologize.

About the name 'Lean Cat'.

The Name "Lean Cat" was selected because in English it sounds like "Link At". Of course in other languages all bets are off. For instance "Gato Magro" just doesn't convey the same message. Oh well.

What is Lean Cat's relationship To GovAccountability.Com?

Lean Cat was created by the founder of GovAccountability as a means of obtaining funding without having to depend on donations. However, it's important to understand that they are seperate sites. Lean Cat is a commercial advertising site. GovAccountability is a political activism site. Strange bedfellows indeed.

However, if this union is successful, it may usher in a new mindset for shoppers, merchants, and independent (not tax based) social service providers such as charities.

Soon, shoppers may come to favor merchants who are personally involved in a program or activity of some sort that actually benefits all of society. Something that transends giving merely for tax advantages, and instead involves the heart.

Also, agencies seeking donations will be expected to be more proactive about being at least paritially self supporting. Sound okay to you so far?

More, much more, will be forthcoming about this, both in Lean Cat and GovAccountability.

Why isn't the "TOURS" page ready?

Because LEAN CAT is just getting started. When enough merchants are participating, we'll be delighted to make the TOURS page live. However it isn't fair to make the merchants who are already with us wait for that to occur, so we are promoting them on our home page. When the TOURS page is live, the home page will briefly feature only the newest videos.
