Manscaping Appointment

Newton: Do you want to know why I’m sitting in the tree, looking annoyed?

Because while Ashton was enjoying her Black Friday, I had to go to the vet to get the mats shaved out from under my arms. Don’t I look thrilled about the whole thing? I’m not a fan of coming here for my manscaping.

What do you mean, you want me to come out and get a nice picture taken? No thanks, I’m going to stay right in here until you take me home, carrier and all. If I come out, you’ll subject me to public humiliation.

There actually wasn’t any public humiliation this time. My usual vet was out of town, and the backup vet insisted on taking me in back for my armpit shaving, unlike Dr. K’s usual procedure. The head peep didn’t make a big fuss because she could hear Dr. M in the middle of trying to get a puppy transferred to the vet specialists for specialty surgery, and she felt bad for the vet staff and puppy’s family. So I have that puppy to think for my not having public humiliation this time around. I’m thinking good thoughts for that unknown puppy!

Can we go home to turkey leftovers now?

Holiday Buying Guide

What do you buy for that cat who has everything? We have a few ideas!

Da Bird

Some just dangle, even when humans wave them back and forth, but the way that Da Bird flutters through the air is truly irresistible. Just ask Newton, who knows exactly where it’s stored and gets excited every time the closet is open.

Popcorn Kicker Toy

Polydactyl Circus Peanuts Kicker Cat ToyThere’s something that makes humans smile when they see a cat toy that looks like something else they are familiar with, and the roasted popcorn peanuts kicker toy one never fails to get a laugh, since it arrives like roasted peanuts in a paper bag. But what makes cats smile is the premium catnip inside. Pierre purrrsonally recommends this toy as one of his favorites.

meowbox

Wouldn’t it be cool to give a gift that keeps on giving? How about new toys and treats every month? The meowbox is a monthly cat subscription box for your cat, full of fun toys and tasty goodies, delivered to your door. Every box is personalized with your cat’s name(s), and every box purchased means a can of food purchased for a shelter cat. We reviewed the meowbox and gave it enthusiastic paws up. You can buy meowbox at a 10% discount with our exclusive discount code: CATSHERDYOU10 on the meowbox web site.

Sleepypod

It’s super-comfy, plush-lined cat bed. That’s all you have to tell your kitty. They don’t want to think about the other thing that happens to that comfy cat bed when it converts into a carrier and takes them to places they might not want to go. The Sleepypod is a comfortable bed to hang out in at home, and when you must travel, it’s a crash-tested carrier. We find it more calming and more comfortable to travel in our familiar, mobile pet bed than a traditional carrier, and it’s a favorite napping spot, too!
