Mancat Monday: If I Fits, I Sits

Like most cats, Evan loves himself a good box. Especially when it fits him like a glove.


For anyone who might not know or remember, Evan's hind limbs are paralyzed. Notice the weird angles of those back legs there? That's completely normal for Evan. He's been like this since he was roughly 6 weeks old, and he is now 9 years old. Evan also has urinary incontinence, which is why he regularly undergoes sanitary shaves, hence his nearly naked back end. All that said, Evan is one happy boy.

Happy Monday, friends!

Flashback Doodle of the Day

We have only a couple of flashback doodles left in our series about a forest home. Actually, we're no longer really at the main home, because we've moved on to the treehouse. Because why not.


I may be in my 30s, but I still would love to have a treehouse. Surely I'm not the only one. Right?

Tip of the Day

Today's summer tip is a bit of a fun one, but also one relating to food and hydration. What on earth are we talking about? Popsicles! It is possible to make popsicles for your pup or even your kitty. You can mix water with a bit of peanut butter, tuna, berries, or other safe food, and then freeze the mixture in an ice tray or popsicle tray. Once they're frozen, you can let your pup or kitty lick them. You can also place these frozen treats directly in your furbaby's water bowl, perhaps to entice them to drink a bit more (just be sure to remove any food remnants from the popsicle out of the water bowl, so that no spoilage occurs). These frozen goodies can make a great treat on a hot summer day, as they can also help a dog or cat stay cool and hydrated. That being said, do ensure that your pup or kitty does not choke on small pieces of the treat, that chewers don't injure any teeth chomping on the ice, and also that your floors don't end up with melted puddles of left behind treats.

That is a perfect box for you Evan. Cute drawing and great tips. I always worry about Emmy dehydrating on our long trips to her vet. It is an hour each way plus the time waiting and she drinks often.
