Well, mew don't think I'm sharing anypawdy else now, do mew? MOL

Mancat Monday at BBHQ with Smooch and Did Mew Know This?

It's Mancat Monday, mew know what that means today and Smooch is here again sharing his exceptional, tripawed manlycatness and a mild purrchant fur catnip! 

Doesn't he cut a magnificent specimen of a ruggedly handsome mancat? 

We've also turned this fab picture into a puzzle, so play and see if mew can beat our time of 7 mins 38 secs.

Did mew Know this About Smooch?

We know in his last mancat pin-up post we revealed 3 things, but did mew know this...

Smooch always wants to help/snoopervise the P.A. in the craft room when she is making stuff fur our Crafting with Cats posts, and this week was no exception! MOL

Can mew see the green fabric? of course mew can - well that's part of our upcoming craft post fur our Easter Special, and Smooch was really wanting in on the action, though the P.A. reckons he was only there because the huge box of catnip was open!

Smooch said, and I quote, "The utter nerve to insinuate I was only there fur the primo nip - I'm deeply wounded by such an unfounded accusation!"

Then I had to point out that he'd got catnip stuck to his chin, plus there was photographic and video evidence - OOPS! 

Check out the video evidence on Instagram, and keep up to date with our Lockdown Diary.

So we'll leave mew to admire Smooch a while longer, and we'll see mew on Wednesday when we're back with our usual blog hop on The Pet Parade, until then...

Keep calm and do manlycat things!

Stay well, stay safe and stay at home
