Evan is feeling quite majestic today. After all, our vet's groomer spruced him up with another sanitary shave last Thursday.
Don't mind Evan thinking he's on his bed in that photo. He's notorious for putting his front end on a bed, while letting his paralyzed back legs to do their own thing outside of the bed. If he's still awake, like he was here, I'll square him up in the bed so that he can properly curl up in it. If he's already asleep when I find him like that, I just let him sleep.
As a bonus, here's Evan in his carrier after he was groomed and I picked him up to take him home.
I know that looks kind of sad, but Evan was actually purring in that photo. Due to his hind limb paralysis, urinary incontinence, and various intestinal issues, Evan gets groomed by our vet's groomer every two weeks or so. Because of that, he's very used to being in his carrier and in the car. He pouts on the way to the vet, but when I pick him up and he knows he's going home, he's very happy, purrs, and watches out the car windows.
Happy Monday, friends!

Tip of the Day
Our cats and dogs often more or less have free roam of our homes. Sometimes, though, that might become a bit difficult for them, for a variety of potential reasons. If your cat or dog is allowed on furniture, make sure that they can easily and safely access it. This is something to especially take into consideration for cats or dogs with mobility issues. Geriatric, arthritic, injured, and any other specially abled furbabies may require some form of help getting onto couches, chairs, beds, tables, shelves, and so forth. Sometimes all you have to do is put low stools or boxes next to the furniture, as long as said stools or boxes are safe and sturdy. There are also pet stairs and pet ramps available on the market, which can be placed beside beds, couches, and other relevant furniture. So, if your furbaby is allowed on furniture, keep in mind what might affect their ability to get onto said furniture. Age, injuries, and other such factors can make it difficult for your cat or dog to reach elevated locations. Take all such factors into consideration, and help your furbaby adjust as best and as safely as possible.
