Witchy Caturday Art

I mentioned yesterday that I felt compelled to do a series of Halloween doodles starring a witch of a cat lady, and of course her cats. So, that's the series we're starting today. Shall we begin in the witch's witchy work space?

If this witch had a computer, her cats would definitely be stomping all over it. But, she's working on some potions here instead. Her cats are of course helping her with that, too, because what's life without feline snoopervision?

This silly doodle is of course our contribution to Athena's always fun Caturday Art Blog Hop.

Happy Caturday, friends!

Halloween Tip of the Day

Can you believe we're still on the topic of pumpkins? We talked about the benefits of pumpkin, and even pumpkin seeds. All of that aside, though, always keep in mind the age and condition of any pumpkins to which your furbaby has access. This time of year, pumpkins are indeed often used as beautiful outdoor decorations or spooky jack-o'-lanterns. Pumpkins won't stay pretty forever, though, and we're sure you've all witnessed the ultimate demise of pumpkins. That being said, old pumpkins can indeed begin to rot, and if pumpkins in this state are consumed by your kitty or pup, issues such as gastrointestinal distress can occur.

In addition, also keep wildlife in mind with regard to this, as old, rotting food may not sit well for them, either. What's more, pumpkins that are left to sit outside and rot will sometimes ferment. If squirrels or other wildlife consume fermented pumpkins, they can potentially end up in a more or less drunken state. Therefore, be sure to compost or otherwise dispose of old pumpkins in a timely, safe, secure manner, for the safety of your furbabies and the wildlife.
