Mommy said I should update our friends on my tushie trouble. Unfortunately, there isn't much to report. My anal glands are still impacted and I might require surgery to remove the impacted material, which is the last thing we want. Mommy has been in close contact with our vet all week, and she said as long as I'm not experiencing any pain we can wait and see how things progress. The vet is hoping I won't need surgery too.
The worst part of this whole ordeal is the atrocious antibiotic Mommy is shoving down my throat twice a day. I never thought Mommy would turn into a mons ..read more

For the past several years I've created gift guides for tortie lovers which have ended up being some of our most viewed posts ever! Seems there are lots of tortie fanatics out there like me upset by the lack of our favorite cats on wearables, jewelry and home decor.
Since I'm always on the hunt for anything tortie-related I decided to make a holiday gift guide exclusively for tortie lovers an annual tradition to help make your shopping a little easier. I hope you find something that will make that special tortie-holic in your life purr (or to treat yourself with!)

Can you believe Christmas Eve is 3 weeks from today??? While browsing Etsy for the purrfect gift for Mommy, I found several things that any cat mom (and the cats that love them) would love to find under the tree on Christmas morning...or to treat yourself with and make sure you get exactly what you want! I included some cute kitty Christmas decor to my list because they make pawsome gift ideas too!

Thank you for joining us for this Black Friday edition of the Pet Photo Fails Blog Hop!
Who's going shopping today? As you're reading this, Mommy and I are most likely still snuggling in bed. Any Christmas shopping we do today will be online. As Mommy says, it's way too peopley out there!
Our photo fails this month were taken while Mommy was trying to help me take some selfies. There was a weird light on the wall, caused either by Mommy's watch or her phone, and it was very distracting!
Those are my photo fails...let's see yours!
