Ow and Aw

Your humble webmistress had all four impacted wisdom teeth removed and is currently attempting to recover – a process that is quite painful and taking longer than expected.

I am always grateful for my man and my cats, but especially during wisdom tooth recovery. The man has been feeding me, looking out for me, making sure I take my medication, and generally cheering me up and being sweet. The cats are absolutely glued to me – even Charley, who is usually attached to my husband. Charley and Thurston can definitely tell I’m not feeling well and are doing their best to cuddle as much as possible – with me and of course, with each other.

Cat-Loving Man of the Week – Jerry Dominicak

According to this post on Itchmo, a man saved a cat’s life by giving the cat mouth-to-mouth after it became trapped in a storage area at a casino in Iowa.

Jerry Dominicak, executive director of the Siouxland Humane Society, had been called in by a casino employee. After feeling the cat’s weak heartbeat, he performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on the cat. Luckily, his mouth-to-mouth worked and the cat started breathing again.

Jerry Dominicak, you are our cat-loving man of the week!

Great handmade pins for men who love cats – and anyone who loves animals

Menandcats.com usually stays on-topic, discussing only men and cats. And while this post is about a great pin that states “Real Men Love Cats” (pictured above) I must go slightly off-topic for a moment to discuss my love of all things handmade, and my love of Etsy, the website where one can buy and sell all things handmade and crafty. The “Real Men Love cats” pin can be purchased through thedogcoatlady’s Etsy store. Her whole store is great, and a portion of the money you spend there will go to the Jacksonville Humane Society. And while you’re at it, why not visit your humble webmistress’s Etsy store as well for more crafty goodness.
