Medical Update #SundaySelfie
Meows from Mudpie!
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 monster! She wraps me up in a kitty straight jacket bath towel, opens my mouth and squirts the foul liquid inside. At least I get a squeezie afterwards, which Mommy is lacing with fiber powder in hopes that might make things start moving along naturally.
But really, I'm feeling fine. I'm eating and drinking good, pottying normal, being my normal lovebug self when Mommy isn't torturing me giving me my medicine
It's a good thing we're past Tocktober though, because my tushie is in no condition to be seen!
And now our weekly answers for the Friendly Fill-Ins challenge, hosted by 15andmeowing and Four-Legged Furballs!
1. Watching more Christmas movies and specials, last minute shopping, and baking are on my to-do list this month.
2. If I hear What Are You Doing New Year's Eve one more time I will scream. I'm not a New Year's fan in the first place, and this song is just a reminder that Christmas is almost over.
3. All I want for Christmas is for Mudpie to not require surgery.
4. Peppermint is my favorite holiday scent.

Fun Feline Finds: Lord of the Pets Custom Pet Portraits
Meows from Mudpie!
Not long ago we received an email from the nice people at Lord of the Pets offering us a complimentary custom pet portrait in exchange for an honest review. Naturally we said yes!
Lord of the Pets offers SO many fun themes that capture the unique charm of every pet - movie posters, magazine covers, Renaissance, superheroes, Star Wars, Star Trek, famous singers, sports, art deco, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Japanese, Steampunk, royal figures, Christmas, even minimalistic, hand-illustrated pet portraits - over 100 designs are available across three sizes: 8x10 inch, 12x16 inch and 16x20 inch.
These beautiful pet portraits are crafted and printed in the USA on high-quality, artist-grade stock and folded around a lightweight frame to give them a gorgeous, gallery-ready appearance. They feature a scratch-resistant UV coating and acid-free ink that will last without fading or chipping.
All we had to do is upload a photo for the amazing Lord of the Pets artists to use to work their magic, and the very next day there was a proof in our inbox to approve! Mommy actually gasped out loud when she saw how amazing it turned out, and just a week later it was on its way to our door.
The canvas print is even more amazing in person, and we just can't stop looking at it. Mommy can't wait to use it as part of our Halloween decor next year, although I have a feeling we just might be leaving it up year round.
Visit Lord of the Pets to create your very own custom pet portrait on canvas. They would make a pawsome Christmas gift for any pet lover, and there's currently even a Black Friday sale offering 30% off sitewide!
Make sure you tell 'em Mudpie sent you!

2024 Holiday Gift Guide for Tortie Lovers
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!)

Tushie Trouble #SundaySelfie
Meows from Mudpie!
I snapped my selfie for the week on Friday afternoon while I was waiting to be violated at the V-E-T.
I came out for lunch in the early afternoon and my bottom still seemed to be bothering me, so she took a peek and found it to be all swollen like last year when I had my anal gland issue.
Thankfully (I guess) she was able to get me an appointment at the vet that very afternoon, but just like last year, I'm so impacted the vet couldn't get much of anything out. So we're left waiting for it to rupture on its own. Please send purrs that it pops sooner rather than later!
