In the Bag

It seems like a certain little kitten around here always starts out so eager to snap a selfie.


But, said kitten always then seems to get perfectly distracted.


If you ask Tonks, paper bags are way better than boxes. This girl will pick a bag over a box any day. What about you friends of ours? Are you box lovers? Bag lovers? Both? Neither?

Wishing you all a warm and wonderful Sunday!

Our Tip of the Day:

Today's winter tip is one that is probably rather logical, and that you all very likely already know. This tip is to refrain from shaving your kitty or pup in the winter, especially a shave close to the skin. The truth is, it is always best to refrain from cutting your furbaby's fur to the skin. In the winter, one reason their fur is crucial is because it helps insulate heat. Similarly, though, a cat or dog's fur can insulate cool air when it's hot outside, making it equally important in the summer. Of course, in the case of severe mats, thick fur that causes overheating in the summer, or other extenuating circumstances, a shave might be required or beneficial. That being said, though, it is best and safest for your furbaby to never shave their fur down to the skin. That fur serves far more purposes than one, including insulating both warm and cool air, depending on the time of the year.

So cute! And we like boxes AND bags here.

Gosh....I have never been a box boy OR a bag boy....but I am a "tent" boy....I love those a whole lot. Angel Sammy loved tents too and he had a box "wagon" (box with string tied to it so he could get pulled around) which he loved. I guess we're all different!

Hugs, Teddy

Never really had the chance at a bag, but Mrs H's handbag is almost as good as a box and very capacious, alas no mice have yet been found in, or escaped from it. MOL

Boxes and bags are a big hit around here. Tonks nailed the selfe.

Tonks! That bag sure does look like fun. :)

Our angel Graphite LOVED bags. He liked to go inside of them, and then when he was done, he's step on top of them, so they made a fun crinkly sound, and then he'd lay right on top.

Hugs!

So cute and adorable. When Daisy Mae was a kitten she loved both boxes and bags but now that she is 12 and a senior kitten well she would rather sleep. Although, she does keep active and every-now-and-then she will get in a bag or a box.

Tonks, you are simply the cutest little patootie, and that photo of you using your teefs on the bag handle is adorbs! We are trying hard not to panic about the deep cold and The 'O' Cats; they both looked good this morning, and it's been sunny all day. Keep your paws crossed!

Our cats love both, but I have to cut off the handles of all bags after an 'incident' - Gabby Rose got her head through one of the handles, panicked and started running all over which scared everyone else - it was a mess!

Tonks you are just the cutest little thing today!

We are a little partial to bags as they are easier to sneak into and hide in than a box. Great to leap out and scare Dad MOL

We love a good box...but a good bag is almost just as good. :)

Dansig loves bags, as long as they don’t have handles. He always gets caught on the handles.

M Dawson said...

Tonks makes me laugh! She just loves bags doesn't she!

She is just too cute for words, and so is your art! Mudpie likes both bags and boxes, but she isn't really crazy about either.

We are sort of divided on the bag/box preference. Astrid is definitely a bag girl. Sawyer likes both. The rest of us are mostly into boxes. Such an adorable doodle. Thanks for hopping with us.
