Scroll down for our Thankgiving thanks to you! It’s that magical time of year when we start thinking about calendars, and let me tell you—Workman Publishing as absolutely nailed it with their 2026 lineup.

Cats Page-A-Day Calendar: The Reigning Champion
This is THE calendar that cat lovers have been obsessed with for years, and it’s not hard to see why. Every single day brings a new feline face to adore—from majestic floofy Persians to mischievous tabbies caught mid-shenanigan. It’s 365 days of pure whisker therapy. Whether you need a pick-me-up during your morning coffee or a smile before tackling that inbox, this calendar delivers. It’s the perennial #1 for a reason, folks.

Chonks Calendar: Celebrate the Fluff
Listen, we’re not body-shaming here—we’re body-celebrating. The Chonks calendar is dedicated to those hysterical, pleasingly plump cats who’ve mastered the art of loafing and treat acquisition. These absolute units are living their best lives, and every page is a reminder that more cat = more love. From cats smooshed into too-small boxes to round bois defying gravity, it’s impossible not to laugh out loud. Your coworkers will thank you for the daily giggles.

Cats on Catnip Calendar: Pure Chaos
If you’ve ever wondered what your cat is thinking when they’re zooming around at 3 AM, this calendar has answers. The Cats on Catnip calendar features deliriously adorable felines completely under the influence of their favorite herb. We’re talking dilated pupils, gravity-defying poses, and expressions that can only be described as “seeing the universe.” It’s like a year-long documentary of cats absolutely losing it in the best possible way. Prepare for daily doses of chaotic cuteness.

Dogs on Vacation Calendar: Wanderlust with Wagging Tails.

For our dog-loving friends (yes, you’re welcome here too!), the Dogs on Vacation calendar is pure joy. Follow fun doggo adventures as our four-legged friends explore beaches, mountains, and everything in between. From golden retrievers with sand-covered snouts to adventurous pups hiking scenic trails, these vacation-ready puppers will have you planning your next getaway—with your dog, naturally.

Birds Page-A-Day Calendar: Otto’s Pick
Now, this last one wasn’t my choice—it was Otto’s. My cat insisted (with very persuasive staring) that I include the Birds Page-A-Day calendar. He says it’s “aspirational eye candy,” though I suspect it’s more like his daily hunting motivation board. But honestly? These birds are spectacular. From vibrant cardinals to majestic owls, it’s a stunning collection that even non-cat supervisors can appreciate. Consider it educational… or entertainment, depending on your species.

The Bottom Line: Whether you’re team cat, team dog, or team “whatever my cat tells me to buy,” these Workman calendars are the perfect way to kick off 2026. And knowing they’re now eco-friendly? That’s the cherry on top of this purr-fect sundae.

Which calendar is making it onto your wall? Let us know in the comments!

P.S. This will be our final post until mid-December. We wanted to take a break after the death of Odin and hugely grateful for the outpouring of kind notes and comments.

I will be traveling overseas and won’t be posting about Thanksgiving. A week before Odin, passed both he and Otto sat on an old tree stump. It felt perfect to create and share this.

Much love,
