Guzzle 6.x and catching exceptions / PHP

I am PUTing to a restful blog API. There is simple error checking in the API. If the entry_name or entry_body is less than 8 characters, he response is as follows:

{
  "status":"failure",
 "message":{
        "entry_name":"The entry_name field must be at least 8 characters in length.",
        "entry_body": The entry_body field must be at least 8 characters in length." 
        }
}

In my web page I get this:

Type: GuzzleHttp\Exception\ClientException

Message: Client error: `PUT https://www.example.com/api/v1/Blog/blog`   
resulted in a `400 Bad Request` response: {"status":"failure","message":
{"entry_name":"The entry_name field must be at least 8 characters in 
length.","entry_body" (truncated...)

I don't understand how I can catch the exception prior to guzzle spilling out the error like above.

I want to test for failure and if failure i want to display the message(s).

This is the code I have to catch exceptions:

This is my code: 

         try {
              $response = $client->request('PUT', $theUrl);
              $theBody = $response->getBody();
        } catch (RequestException $e) {
            echo $e;
        }

but it sails right past the above block :-(

If you don't want Guzzle 6 to throw exceptions for 4xx and 5xx at all, you need to create a handler stack WITHOUT the http_errors middleware which is added to the stack by default:

$handlerStack = new \GuzzleHttp\HandlerStack(\GuzzleHttp\choose_handler());

$handlerStack->push(\GuzzleHttp\Middleware::redirect(), 'allow_redirects');
$handlerStack->push(\GuzzleHttp\Middleware::cookies(), 'cookies');
$handlerStack->push(\GuzzleHttp\Middleware::prepareBody(), 'prepare_body');

$config = ['handler' => $handlerStack]);

$client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client($config);
