Mancat Monday: Naptime Face-Plants with Orange Boys

Hello and happy Mancat Monday! Today, Evan wants to remind you all of one of his favorite sleeping positions.

Looks cozy, huh?

This boy loves to spend his naptime in a face-plant position.

Evan isn't the only orange boy who likes sleeping in a suffocating sort of way, though. My parents have a pale orange boy named Kipper, and look how he sleeps as well...

All right, boys. Whatever floats your boat, I guess.

Evan and Kipper wish you all a nap or two today! I would recommend not suffocating yourself during said naps, but these orange boys say it's really quite cozy.

Flashback Doodle of the Day

Since I'm a broken record, I'll yet again repeat that when summer rolls around, I always start feeling eager for autumn and Halloween. I'm just not a fan of heat and humidity, and at the end of the warm days is my favorite season of fall and my tied-for-first-place holiday that is Halloween.

As I've also mentioned, my eagerness for autumn and spooky season is just egged on by the fact that stores now often come out with Halloween merchandise starting in June or thereabouts. A couple years ago Cracker Barrel came out with a ghostly piece of decor that became very popular. While I didn't buy it, I did draw it, of course with the addition of a kitty.

This year Cracker Barrel came out with a piece of Halloween decor that is a similarly ghostly highland cow. I'm really tempted to draw that one as well...

Tip of the Day

Keep in mind that, depending on factors such as a cat or dog’s size and health, some furbabies might require special considerations for the setup of their food and water bowls. For example, tall dogs, dogs with deep chests, older animals who have difficulty bending down, animals with short snouts, and those with conditions such as megaesophagus often do better with elevated bowls that are situated closer to the level of their chest or face. Food and water bowls elevated in this manner can allow for more comfortable eating and drinking, as well as easier chewing, swallowing, and overall digestion. Of course, on the other hand, do ensure that the bowl is not too elevated, especially for small dogs or cats, as having to reach up to eat would be uncomfortable for them as well. So, do be sure to take time to observe your kitty or pup’s dining habits, and to adjust their bowls to ensure they are able to dine comfortably.
