Mancat Monday with Evan and a Jack

I've mentioned this before, but my sweet mama's boy Evan is my little shadow. And I love that. No matter what I'm doing, he's right there with me. I do at-home workouts, and during those he's almost always on some of his favorite blankets on the floor beside me.


On that particular day, Evan was getting in the spirit of the spooky season and spending time with the a well-loved jack-o'-lantern catnip toy.

Every kitty here loves that toy. It's easily one of the most used and abused toys in the house. Like the black kitty toy Evan shared last week, that there pumpkin was recently laundered. Why? Because, like the black kitty toy shared last week, it was the target of a urine attack while Evan was fighting his recent UTI. Evan is feeling much better now, though, and so are the freshly cleaned toys. This poor pumpkin looks rough even after laundered, because the kitties have really put him through it over the years, but at least he's still smiling.

Happy Monday, friends!

Not So Spooky Doodle of the Day

Today's new Halloween doodle is courtesy of some images I saw of plague doctors in history. So, I tossed a kitty in one of those plague doctor masks and here you go.

Tip of the Day

Today's tip is about none other than costumes. As you might see upon visiting a pet store this time of year, Halloween costumes are sometimes just as popular for kitties and pups as they are for children of the human sort. That being said, though, it is best to only put and keep a costume on a furbaby who tolerates and enjoys it. Some cats and dogs simply do not like wearing costumes or other clothing items, and those such furbabies should not be forced to wear a costume for Halloween, or any time of the year. If you do try a costume on your kitty or pup, watch for signs of stress, such as trying to remove the costume or restlessness. If you do notice any signs that your furbaby is not enjoying a costume you've chosen for them, remove it and simply let them don their birthday suit this Halloween.

Evan is such a cutie. We have that same pumpkin and everyone loves it. Cute drawing and great tips. I am planning to dress 9 of my 12 cats even though only about 2 don't mind. XO

There's nothing like an old, best beloved toy.
