Mancat Monday: Sunbathing...in a Cage

Last week Evan went to our vet's groomer for his routine bath and sanitary shave. I always love how, when he's done and knows he's going home, he is so happy and purrs all the way home. What's more, he also seems to really enjoy watching out the car windows and soaking up the sun.


I never thought Evan would look so happy to be sunbathing in a cage, but alas, there he is.

Evan and all of us here wish you a magnificent Monday! Though Evan enjoys the sunshine in the car after his grooming visits, he still hopes you all get to enjoy a day free of any vet visits and unwanted excursions.

Flashback Doodle of the Day

I've mentioned probably an obnoxious number of times how not only do I love to write, but I'm currently writing a weird and wacky fantasy book that co-stars a hind limb paralyzed cat like my Evan. Except this kitty's name is Hobo. And, unlike Evan, he lets his human put him in a wheelchair and enjoys going for walks outside. I was again going through old drawings, and I found the series I drew for last year's April A to Z Challenge, pretty much all of which starred this kitty named Hobo. Like this one here.

Tip of the Day

We've decided to do a repeat series of tips on life hacks for pet parents, especially cat parents. These hacks may be all sorts of random, and most of them are indeed repeats of tips from the past. But, we hope these might offer some pet parenting tips for saving money, saving space, saving time, and, of course, keeping your furbaby happy and healthy.

Do you have furbaby hair on your sofa? What about in your car? Surely not on your clothes? Our pet parenting life hack for today is to keep some rubber gloves on hand. Why? Because, aside from the more commonly used lint roller or piece of tape, rubber gloves can be a reusable tool for removing furbaby hair from surfaces such as sofas and car interiors. You just put on a rubber glove and run it over the hairy sofa or other surface. The rubber glove and a little thing called static electricity will help lift the hair from the surface, and the hair will instead stick to the glove. When you're done using the glove to remove furbaby hair from your furniture, one easy way to get said hair off of the glove is by submerging the glove in water. The hair will float off of the glove, and then you can dip the hair out of the water and toss it. So, if you're looking for a quick, easy, reusable tool for removing your furbaby's hair from your furniture, consider giving the rubber glove trick a try.
