... but then again, Spotty isn't just any cat...
Spotty wants no part of a choker (flea collar) or the latest threads (cat clothes)....
...but he is smitten with his new accessory...
...which we lovingly call his man-purse.
The definition of a man purse, according to dictionary.com is: a handbag or purse carried by a male, often in the style of a messenger bag or backpack; urbandictionary.com describes a man purse as: typically distinguishable from a woman's purse by having a tall, narrow, rectangular form-factor, rather than the short and wide shapes more typical of most women's purses.
Nowhere in the description does it say that a man purse can't come in a variety of delicious colors (Spotty's reminds me of a yummy Cath Kidston color palette)...
Truth be told, this was a little travel cosmetic bag that belonged to Amanda. After Amanda's last trip to New York City, Spotty latched onto it and hasn't let go...
He loves to rub his face all over it (as you'll see in the video clip at the end of this post); he also loves to sleep on it or next to it.. Needless to say, Amanda will have to purchase another little cosmetic bag before she travels again because nobody has the heart to take this one away from Spotty! He has really become attached to it, as evidenced by the next photo...

Our poor Spotty is making an incredible recovery after having a large tumor removed last week. And as you can see from this photo, our handsome, brave boy sought out his security blanket (i.e., man purse) as soon as he got home... He was drowsy and he wanted to sleep, but first he wanted his man purse. As soon as it was given to him he curled up on top of it and went right to sleep, purring all the while...
We took this little video of him this morning because he was just so adorable, loving his little man purse! (You can even hear him purring... he's such a happy kitty!)...
Wishing you all a great weekend! We're hoping for some good weather (after several days of rain) so we can get some things done in the yard!

Awwww, poor Spotty. I hope he's better. How cute is he with that purse that is just so funny to me.
ReplyDeleteAll the best,

Spotty is gorgeous. He looks adorable with his male purse. Pam xx
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable post! Scotty is so cute with his purse. The video is precious! Thanks for the smiles this morning...
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be able to take his purse away either.
Glad he's doing better after his surgery.

How sweet! After what Spotty's been through, he deserves whatever he wants. That video of him just about made me cry!
ReplyDeleteOh that is just too sweet! Cats are funny creatures, aren't they? The things they do, the places they decide to curl up in, and the things they like and dislike are so unpredictable. Don't you wish he could tell you why he's so attached to his "manpurse"?
ReplyDeleteSo nice to hear he is doing well. It's nice he gets to have the purse all to himself.. animals are so needy sometimes and it's easy to keep them happy, even if it does mean giving up a cosmetic bag. :-)

Oh poor boy! Sure hope he is feeling back to his old self soon.
ReplyDeleteHe is so darn cute! I just love cats. Well you know, I love all animals but some touch us more then others. I miss my cat.
SO I'll enjoy yours for now.
You are such a good mommy to let him keep the purse!

ReplyDeleteSpotty is a sweetheart. Let him have whatever he wants.
ReplyDeleteI would want that man purse too. It's really pretty.
I hope Spotty is recovering nicely. He looks absolutely content in the video.
All is clearly right in Spotty's world now: home again, with his people and his favorite accessory.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure there is anything happier than a happy cat.
Oh, Sweet and gentle kitty hugs to spotty! I hope he gets better soon! I wonder what the attraction to that purse is!
