Initiating some type of clue-based treasure hunt (or a small scale Alternate Reality Game) would draw attention! And be AWESOME!

Also, a Facebook add would be great. Ooo! You could do a blog contest and have people advertise on their blogs for you for a chance to win a poster.

Oh how about dressing up a dog as a cat and take pics of him/her as an ad and post it up all over the place

going on my rss feed: fantasy sites: tor.com, locusmag.com, io9.com. obvious: Mr. Gaiman's site, Comic Con, after the Coraline musical, plus anywhere Neil goes.

Sadly you missed 'World Cat Congress' in March. But there's always next year. Feel like a trip to Melbourne, Australia? http://www.worldcatcongress.org/wp/am_next.html

I think you should do a video that ties in with the current Youtube phenomenon that is 'play him off, Keyboard Cat', but maybe with a 'play him IN' twist.

Indie movie theaters, bookstores as well - Landmark, Reel Pizza - have postcards/flyers that can be posted in the lobby.
