Mancat Monday with Evan and the Reindeer

In Friday's Friendly Fill-Ins post, I mentioned some new reindeer decor my mom purchased for me at a craft fair. They're reindeer a sweet old man made out of repurposed wood, crafted to look like giant versions of Rudolph clothespin ornaments that were popular back in the day. I also mentioned how I tried to get Evan to pose with the reindeer recently. He sort of did, but he was very excited during the photo shoot and so most of the shots were blurry. And so, here is blurry Evan and his reindeer.

Once Evan settled down a bit, I tried to get a more festive photo, including the Christmas tree, by elevating the reindeer. It turned out a bit creepy, though, as the reindeer kind of look like they're preying on my poor orange boy. But don't worry, as no Evans were harmed in the making of these photos.

Evan hopes you all enjoyed his bloopery photo shoot with our new reindeer!

Tip of the Day

If you are traveling for the holidays without your furbaby, be sure to plan for their proper care while you are away. Be sure to book a pet-sitter or space in a boarding facility well in advance, to ensure that your kitty or pup has scheduled care with a trusted caregiver. Then, of course, also make sure that your furbaby's caregiver has everything they will need for the comfort and safety of your kitty or pup. Whether a pet-sitter is coming to your home or whether your furbaby is staying at someone else's home or at a boarding facility, have plenty of their food in stock, and make sure that their leash, litter, and other necessities are readily available. Also make sure that any medication they take is refilled, and that instructions for medication administration as well as feedings and other care is written down or understood by the caregiver. Other important information to leave for a caregiver is your contact information, your veterinarian's contact information, and your furbaby's medical records, as needed. It is always better to be more prepared than not, so be sure that sufficient preparations are made for your furbaby's care in the event that you leave for the holidays, or any time of the year.
