Mancat Monday: Face-First Snoozing

Happy Mancat Monday, friends! Evan is of course here to grace you all with his presence. Well, sort of. He may or may not have slept through his Mancat Monday photo shoot.


I've shown Evan sleeping like that before. It's one of his favorite ways to snooze, with his head tucked under in a seemingly suffocating position. I myself enjoy breathing and so am not into face-first snoozing, but Evan loves it.

Have a magnificent Monday!

Flashback Doodle of the Day

Despite my best intentions every year, I rarely draw new Thanksgiving doodles. This might be because it's simply not my favorite holiday and I've always moved on to working on Christmas doodles by then, but I still always mean to scribble up something new for Turkey Day. I do have some old ones from many years ago, though. These are yet more doodles from before I switched to my newer, slightly altered color palette and perhaps slightly upgraded drawing style. That said, here's one of the oldies for you.

Tip of the Day

In a previous Thanksgiving tip we mentioned how it might be best to keep those pecans and that pecan pie out of your furbaby's reach. Today, we're giving a reminder to be cautious with all nuts, especially if you're not sure how they might affect your furbaby. Almonds, walnuts, pistachios, macadamia nuts, and other nuts can all potentially lead to gastrointestinal upset, some potentially causing more severe reactions than others. The possibility and severity of a reaction also might depend on your particular furbaby and their particular gastrointestinal tract. Some nuts, such as walnuts, macadamia nuts, hickory nuts, and the previously mentioned pecans, can also contain a toxin that affects the nervous system, especially if they become moldy. For reasons such as these, to be on the safe side, it is best to simply keep any nuts and dishes containing nuts out of your furbaby's reach. As always, it's better to be safe than sorry.
