Kitten Tuesday

Sometimes, a kitten actually sits still in this house. The other day, my sister caught her kitten, Winky, in a non-blurry state. So, she whipped out her phone and snapped some photos as evidence. Since Winky rarely gets to be seen on this blog because she rarely sits still for the camera, I told my sister to send the photos my way so that I could share them with all of you. So, here's Winky!




Doesn't Winky look so sophisticated? If only she'd pose for the camera more often. When you're a kitten, though, there's just so much to do and so much to see, and photo shoots just get in the way of that. We hope you enjoyed this evidence that Winky can sit still, because who knows when it will happen again.

Wishing you a warm and terrific Tuesday, friends!

Our Tip of the Day:

As you all certainly know, cats often seek out heat. Those pups out there sometimes do, too. For this reason, when it's cold this winter, monitor your furbaby around any sort of heat source. This of course goes for fireplaces, which should be sufficiently blocked so that kitties and pups can't directly access it or end up with burns. But, this also goes for various space heaters, radiators, and even floor or wall registers for the furnace. Especially if your cat or dog is known to park themselves incredibly close to, or even on top of, such heat sources, be sure to keep a very close eye on them when heaters are being used, or when the furnace is running. If they are near a heat source, check on them regularly, and feel them to make sure that they, and their fur, are not getting dangerously hot. Depending on the kind of heat produced by various heat sources, burns and other injuries can occur if a kitty or pup sleeps on or near it. If needed, such as if your kitty or pup insists on keeping a heater or furnace register company, consider blocking direct access to them. For example, there are safe, fire-proof covers for furnace registers on the floor or wall. When it comes to space heaters, if needed, place them in areas where your kitty or pup does not have access. In other cases, you might be able to find a way to safely block direct access to heaters and radiators, so that your furbaby can enjoy the heat without the risk of burns. Of course we want our furbabies to stay warm in the winter, but it is also important to ensure that your kitty or pup does not end up with burns or other injuries.

What a beautiful black kitten.

Winky, you are adorable! Photographing black cats is hard at best, and an active kitten simply ups the chances of blur. This is why you see photos of Manny and CB while sleeping!

Hi there Winky - nice to meet you! You are such a beauty, hopefully you'll 'sit' for more pics in the future.

Winky, your people need to remember that the only way to photograph and active kitten is when it's asleep! Although i am glad you are growing up a bit and willing to sit once in a while now.

Winky, you are so cute and what a good kitten, to sit still long enough to have a picture taken. Have a good day.
