Mancat Monday

Evan wanted to give you all a nice, poised shot on this Mancat Monday. But, then he got a tad bit distracted.


That little piggy toy is not technically Evan's, in case you were wondering. Thimble got that cute little goodie for her birthday back in May, but a certain mancat enjoys stealing it from her when she plays with it.


Do any of you out there have fursibs who steal your toys? Thimble hopes she's not the only one. She frequently tries to demand her toy back from her brother Evan. Sometimes she succeeds, sometimes she doesn't. Boys.

Happy Monday, friends!


P.S. Today, Evan was supposed to post some answers for another fun questionnaire that CK shared. Let's just say Evan will instead be sharing his answer tomorrow, because this here human of his failed to help him get them all typed up in time. Shame on this human. Shame.

Our Doodle of the Day:

In case anyone missed the memo, we're doing a series of Christmas in July doodles. So, here goes another one!

Our Tip of the Day:

We've all seen those chew toys for pups. Puppies, and even grown dogs, often love to chew, and so chew toys can allow them to gnaw on a designated item rather than one that is not ideal or one that is dangerous. But, did you know that there are chew toys for cats as well? Like dogs, some cats love to chew. Chewing is sometimes more common in kittens, but some adult cats are chewers, too. If this is the case with your cat, perhaps look into getting them some feline-friendly chew toys. This could potentially save them from chewing on items that they should not, which could be beneficial to your goods, and also of course to your kitty's health.

Of course, whether a chew toy is for your kitty or pup, it is important to take into consideration the material out of which a chew toy is made, as well as whether it will withstand a particular furbaby's level of chewing. Some toy brands will label whether a chew toy is suitable for powerful chewers, for example. Even so, you know your furbaby best, and so you must decide whether a toy will be able to survive their chewing habits, and therefore whether it might be a hazard. There are a great many pet toys available these days, you simply have to consider a toy's benefits and safety for your furbabies.

MOL, Evan! :) Maybe you all need a second pig...

If I don't give Carmine and Lita their own Yeowww toy at the same time, they will steal it from each other and fight over it!

Even probably totally enjoys stealing that piggy.....and I bet that Thimble really doesn't mind it at all - after all - it's a game!

Hugs, Teddy

We love the doodle! I'll celebrate Christmas in July as long as I don't have to wear a Santa hat! - Tomx PS - I'm an only cat, so I don't have to worry about toys and then if I have too many, the housekeeper donates them. Cheers!

Your photo may not be as purrfectly posed as you wanted it to be, but it's very cute. Luckily, Lexy and I don't steal each others' toys.

Toys can be quite distracting, Evan. Around here, all toys are free game.

Marg said...

It is great fun to steal other kitties's toys. We really like the Christmas doodles in July. You all have a fantastic day.

Poor Thimble, that must be a fun toy. Evan looks great sunbathing. Cute drawing and
excellent tips.

Evan, every cat toy belongs to every cat...isn't that the rules? It is around here at Eastside Cats!

Cathy Keisha said...

My lucky number is one so no one steals my toys. I think this is my fave Christmas in July doodle—for now. TW always threatens to get me one of those rawhides to chew on so I won't chew on her or Pop.

Hey, it's not stealing, it's sharing, MOL ! Purrs

Mudpie loves being an only child so she can keep all the toys to herself!

Link will take every toy in the house, and if the dogs are here, they will claim all of them, too. The flamigo is a great touch for Christmas in July!

Evan, so handsome you are in the sunshine! We didn't know about chew toys for cats, then again, mousies have always been chew toys for Quint.


Thank you for your kinds words today over our loss of sweet Sunny. We very much appreciate them, take comfort with them, and know that Sunny's spirit does as well.
