Sunday Selfies

A certain mancat named Toby is always telling me that he never gets his fair share of posts on the blog. For those who don't know, Toby owns this here human's sister. My sister lives with me, which means Toby also lives with my crew and me. So, of course Toby should get his fair share of blog time!


Toby decided to go for an up close and personal selfie today. After all, he simply has to show off those whiskers!


Of course, Toby snapped these shots of his handsome self to share in the Sunday Selfies blog hop, which is hosted by the Kitties Blue over at The Cat on My Head.


Have a stupendous Sunday, friends!

Our Tip of the Day:

We're in the midst of doing a series of tips on getting your cat to the vet, which is sometimes far easier said than done. Today's tip on this topic is to do your research and to know about the clinic of choice prior to arriving there. For example, look up or call ahead and find out if the clinic you're considering is cat-only, cat-friendly, or provides a cat-only lobby. Finding a clinic that is in some way cat-friendly can make for an easier, calmer trip to the vet for your kitty. Before arriving, you can even find out which door to enter at a cat-friendly clinic to ensure that you are in the cat-only lobby, so that your kitty can feel as safe and comfortable as possible right from the start.

In addition, if or when possible, especially for skittish cats, you can try to find out a clinic's quietest, least busy time of the day, or day of the week. This way, if it's feasible and necessary, you can potentially schedule to take an especially scared cat when the clinic is as quiet as possible. Though certainly not all clinics do this, some clinics will have a day, or even partial day, when they will see only feline patients. If this is the case at your clinic of choice, try to schedule appointments for your kitty on this likely quieter, calmer day. It never hurts to be prepared, so for the sake of your kitty, find out important or helpful details of a clinic prior to your kitty's appointment. This can help things go more smoothly, and can help a cat feel as safe and calm as possible.

Toby, I really groove on your luscious white whiskers! Cute doodle, and I've learned to ask if I can bring my cat straight into an exam room, rather than in the waiting room.
