Polydactyl

❄️Let it snow!❄️ Over 200lbs of stuffing delivered to my home. Spider and I are ready for the holidays! ☃️

I turn my back for a second and Spider is making sure no pizza crumb is left behind 🤦🏼‍♀️🍕👅

Hey everyone! I wanted to deviate from my usual cat toy content to update you on a little life happening: This summer, I was experiencing some wild symptoms. I nearly passed out on the subway, shortness of breath, pounding heart, trouble concentration, restless legs, anxiety, and I was tired to my very core. 😴 It was enough to finally get me to see a Dr. It turns out, I’m very iron deficient/anemic. This morning, I had my first of three rounds of iron infusions (which will take place over a week). My first infusion went great! I know I have a lot of emails/messages to reply to and orders to get in the mail- I’ll be working hard on those things this week. 💪🏼 It looks like I will still be participating in the Punk Rock Flea Market this Saturday (only Saturday) in Philly at the Armory. Please stop by and say hi if you’re in the area! 🙋🏼‍♀️

Holiday is reminding you to stay hydrated, today. I have learned once you leave a glass of water on your nightstand, it becomes a shared glass of water 🤷🏼‍♀️😛

Possum is officially in the cat room at ! Saying goodbye to her means she now can say hello to her future forever family. Sweet Possum, I’ll miss you, and I’m so honored I was able to foster you. Fostering saved lives. ❤️

✋🏼Raise your hand if you were about to enjoy your pasta dinner, when all of a sudden, your foster kitten, named Possum, decided to run ACROSS your dinner plate- leaving pasta sauce paw prints ALL over the living room. Just me? Oh, ok! 🍝 Possum will be officially entering the cat room tomorrow at Providence Animal Center in Media, PA. Bring some garlic bread, because this one is a little spicy! 🥖 (check out those orange pasta paws) 🥫

🎵It’s just another “mild” Monday🎵 Spider jumped into a box of Mild Taco Sauce cat toys we are preparing for an upcoming show in Philadelphia this weekend! Swipe for more info ⬅️ We hope to see you there! Will will even be introducing a ✨NEW✨ sushi toy! 🍣

Spider is in charge of getting out our shipments today! 🕷📦✉️

About a month ago, I purchased a vintage waterfall-style vanity from a local seller online. Bowie likes to sit nearby while I get ready. I like the think she is also getting “ready” while she’s near me. You’re gorgeous, Bowie! 💋

Holiday is showing her Philly Pride by making herself a spot in between the new Philadelphia Roll cat toys we have been making. 🍣

Don’t worry, Petunia, we have trouble keeping our paws off of the popcorn, too! ❤️ REPOST: Due to her unwillingness to share the 🍿, Petunia will no longer be in charge of the concession stand.
We want to host a 🎬Movie Night 🎬 in the Mulligan Room soon…. What movie should we show?

Spider and Bowie know they are both due for their “lunchtime” scoop in their food bowls. 🍽

Rolling around (supervised) on the patio is Spider’s equivalent to having his morning coffee. ☕️ Happy Monday! We have a lot planned this week- fulfilling orders, designing new toys, and we will be at for the launch of this Saturday 1-5 (see our last post for full details 🐱)

Fostering Saves Lives! Look at this beautiful boy! It’s been a while since my last post, but that’s because I’ve been fostering a litter of 5 neonatal kittens. My “Olive Garden Kittens.” 🇮🇹Pictured here is Zeppoli- look at that progress! He was so sick when he arrived in my care. His eyes were sealed with infection, and he was dehydrated, malnourished, and much smaller than his siblings.
⠀
With the help from the staff (most notably Katie) I was able to give injectable antibiotics and sub q fluids. I’m a person who is VERY fearful of needles. I’ve passed out at the sight of needles as a child, and it has unfortunately followed me into adulthood. I honestly do not know how I summoned up this strength, but I was able to inject Zeppoli with antibiotics every 8 hours for DAYS. I honestly cried so much over this kitten because I though I was going to lose him.
⠀
Fast forward to last week- Zeppoli (and his siblings) have all found their forever homes, and I have some new lifesaving skills in my kit. 🏡 Side note: being needle phobic, I still took it upon myself to get my covid vaccine when it was available to me. If you are someone like me who does not handle needles well, I completely understand. I suggest bringing a support person with you and explain to the medical team your concerns. I personally watch cat videos when I get a blood draw. 😸I believe you can do it!💪🏼

Today is National Selfie Day! 😜Bonus pic: yesterday, I coincidentally saw Robert Cornelius’s grave at . He is credited with taking the first known selfie in 1839. 🤳

Sorry for the lack of posts and interactions, lately. Allergies and the 2nd covid shot had me feeling like garbage. 🌸💉 Please enjoy this photo of Spider IN the garbage can- he made himself right at home. 🗑😛

“The weekend is almost here, I can taste it” -Spider 🕷👅

Spider wants you to have a good Monday. Take no garbage- unless you like garbage (Spider loves the garbage can 🤦‍♀️) 🗑

The beefiest taco 🌮🕷

Oh, sorry Holiday. Didn’t mean to disturb you in MY sewing chair. 🤨

“Helping.” 🧵🪡

Am I ever going to be able to cut this Taco Sauce Fabric? 😏🕷

Bowie can always find a sunspot- no matter how small! We hope you all find a sunspot, today. ☀️
