Glamorous pet owners are getting matching manicures with their catsFirst thing's first: you should never, ever paint your pet's claws with actual nail polish. It's toxic to them! But should you hunger for you and your cat to have matching manicures, there's a glamorous alternative. Cristi, a cat owner from California, routinely purchases nail caps for her cat, Wednesday. One day, she found a purple, glittery set — the same purple glitter as her own manicure. SEE ALSO: Cats have been getting humans to do their bidding for 9,000 years Hell yeah. Bffs pic.twitter.com/aa7eCQbxVX — cristi cupcake  (@cristimari_) June 24, 2017 As it turns out, Cristi wasn't the only one to have this idea. After another user shared her image, it went viral, and other pet owners started sharing manicure pics, too. the only way to be pic.twitter.com/6n49uyyee3 — POI$ON IV¥ (@jadejumps) June 25, 2017 I've done this with my ruby ♥️✨ pic.twitter.com/JSTqvHSSm2 — Melanie (@reverseoceans) June 25, 2017 pic.twitter.com/SEHjPJQejV — J (@rockmanticsoul) June 24, 2017 And for those sneering right now, we'd like to point out that, from a logical standpoint, this makes perfect sense. Friends get matching manicures all the time. Pets are the best friends ever. Therefore, it would stand to reason that humans and their pets should have matching manicures. Checkmate.

Californians take a shine to solar powerJacquie Barnbrook had grown tired of the high electricity bills and her gas-guzzling luxury car when she finally decided to take the plunge last year.
