Nothing brightens up a Monday like some of our adorable kitty patients! We just canโ€™t get enough of their sweet purrs, playful antics, and those precious little faces. ๐Ÿ˜ป

Here are a few of our recent faves to bring a little extra joy to your day. We love each and every one of these furry friends, and we know you will too! ๐Ÿ’•

We couldnโ€™t possibly wait until Tongue Out Tuesday, so welcome to:

**Mouth Blep Monday: Surgical Edition!** ๐Ÿ˜›โœจ

These sweet fur-babies may or may not look like they had one too many last night (thanks, anesthesia ๐Ÿฅด), but donโ€™t worryโ€”each of their procedures went purr-fectly! Theyโ€™re on the mend and still managing to be adorable while they recover.

Who knew post-surgery/pre-surgery bleps could be so cute? ๐Ÿ˜

When the evil queen (mom) imprisons you in a dungeon (kennel๐Ÿ™„) at work to make sure you don't lick your surgical wound... but you just can't help but be *extra* sassy about it. ๐Ÿ˜ค๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ

Yeti has been giving us ALL the attitude, and he sure knows how to talk back, but we wouldnโ€™t have it any other way! ๐Ÿ’• We love our big ol' grump, even when he's full of sass. Hang in there, Yeti, you're almost all healed up!
