Mancat Monday with Evan's Legs

Today's Mancat Monday post is in honor of none other than my boy Evan's extra special back legs. For anyone who doesn't know or doesn't remember, Evan is hind limb paralyzed. This has been the case since he was roughly 6 weeks old, and at 12 years old now, he's very accustomed to getting around in his own unique way. This involves dragging his back legs behind him when he walks, sitting with his legs off to the side when he's at rest, and that sort of thing.

All that said, I love my boy's legs. So, here's a view of how his back legs sometimes look when he's doing his thing around the house.

We also have a bonus shot for you, that being my boy taking a bath. He is able to lick his back legs, at least in part, and that event looks a little like this:

My amazing boy Evan and all of us here wish you a magnificent Monday!

Flashback Doodle of the Day

I've shared this doodle below before, as is the case when I share flashbacks. I might have even shared this one in the past few months. I can't remember, but it fits well with the photos above, so I want to share it.

I actually scribbled that up as an illustration for the story I'm writing. Not only does the human gal in that story have her very own special needs kitty, but she also likes to draw, and so she did indeed doodle her own kitty's extra special legs.

Tip of the Day

Many Thanksgiving dinners include bread, rolls, biscuits, or other doughy goods. That being said, be cautious and aware when baking bread around dogs and cats. If a pup or kitty consumes unbaked bread dough, especially that which contains yeast, serious side effects could result. For example, unbaked break dough can expand inside the warm intestinal tract, which can in turn result in life-threatening bloat, twisted stomach, and other potential issues. Yeast in unbaked bread dough not only can result in bloat, though. It can also ferment. Such fermentation produces alcohols, which can then be absorbed into the bloodstream and result in alcohol poisoning. Needless to say, unbaked bread dough can be very dangerous, or even deadly, if consumed by a cat or dog. So, never leave unbaked bread dough unattended. Keep your kitty or pup out of the kitchen, or do whatever else you must to keep your kitty or pup from giving that dough and other dangerous Thanksgiving feast foods a taste test.
