The man purse...

Not every male cat can pull off this look...


... 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...
(warning - next photo shows Spotty after last week's surgery... it shows him shaved with his stitches/staples)....

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!
