Evan decided to use this Mancat Monday to share some more of the sleepy shots he snapped during yesterday's selfie photo shoot. Before he shares these shots, Evan wants to know if any of you friends of ours ever have to get your paws involved during nap time? Evan does.
Those paws can make for great pillows, eye masks, earmuffs, and all sorts of handy things like that. Do you ever use your paws as any of those things?
Sometimes you even need to use your paw as a sniffer blocker. You never know when an unsavory smell might waft your way during a nap. Better safe than sorry.
Well, Evan woke up just long enough to tell me to wish you all a magnificent Monday!

Our Tip of the Day:
We're still in the midst of our series of tips on the topic of litter boxes. Today's tip in this realm of things is one that we might not always think on too much, and that's the litter scoop. You'd think a scoop is a scoop, but sometimes one scoop simply might work better than another. Depending on the type of litter you use, your particular furbaby's litter box habits, and other such factors, be sure to select a litter scoop that removes as much of the piles of urine, feces, and affected litter as possible. If too much of these bits of debris are left behind when you scoop, that can lead to lingering smells and less sanitary conditions. This could in turn mean that the litter box will need to be cleaned more frequently than might be expected. For the above reasons, when selecting a litter scoop, consider factors such as the number and spacing of the grates on the scoop.
In addition, you also might want to consider the material out of which the scoop is made. If there's a chance your litter scoop might get bunged up, for example, perhaps go for a metal scoop. This is because plastic scoops are far more likely to end up with scratches on their surface, and such scratches could harbor microbes, especially when used in an environment such as that of a litter box. So, don't forget to give even that scoop a bit of extra consideration and attention. Every little detail could potentially affect our kitties and their health and happiness, and that even includes the litter scoop, which helps keep that litter box as clean and sanitary as possible.

I have to paws and think about this..very clever post! My paws are very capable, too, come to think of it! - Tom x
I like to use my paws to cover my eyes when I sleep. So the flashy box doesn't disturb me. ~Wally
Angel Sammy was big on involving his polydactyl toesies in his sleeping activities. Usually as "eyemasks".....but Teddy doesn't do that - in fact he sleeps on his back most of the time with arms and legs "akimbo" ! Sweet photos of Evan........
Hugs, Pam
Paws do come in handy. I like to keep mine crossed for good luck. Always enjoy seeing adorable Evan!
Manny likes to stretch out his paws, so they are easy to play with by the humans! Love the doodle, although I didn't read a SINGLE BOOK this weekend...oops. I love my Litter Lifter scoops; the litter slides off so easily, and they have different sized scoops and my favorite is the biggest one!
We love seeing Evan and his cute little paws on this Mancat Monday. We love to see when they use their paw as an eye mask or a pillow. You look so adorable, Evan. Thanks for the share. Hope you have a great cat nap.

We agree with Evan on use of paws while napping. They make the best eye masks for daytime hours! Great doodle! Our Dad swears by metal litter box scoops, but only ones that are all one piece metal, not ones tack-welded together, which tend to break (as plastic ones do too often). He's a regular, twice-a day-every-day scooper and really knows his scoops!
Aww...Evan is such a cutie. Very cute drawing too. And as always, excellent tips.
Mudpie covers her eyes with her paws...especially when Mommy reads too late in bed with the night light on!
Sometimes i cover my eyes with my pillow, does that count?
Reading a book on a swing outdoors looks like it would be fun.
