Caturday Art

Since it is still pup Astrid's birthday week, she asked me to include a canine in today's Caturday Art doodle. I obliged the birthday girl. Don't worry, though, our kitty pals, because the pup in the doodle has a feline friend.

I'm not sure yet if this will be our last true winter doodle or not. I'm currently working on a series of doodles starring cats and books, because I've only done a gazillion of those already. But, I may or may not share one last winter doodle this upcoming final week of February. Either way, we hope you enjoy the doodles we share!

Happy Caturday, friends!

Our Tip of the Day:

After our tips on offering your kitty fresh water and food, we're now here today to remind you to keep those water and food bowls nice and clean. When it comes to keeping bowls clean, do your best to steer clear of using plastic bowls, as these can most easily harbor bacteria and other microbes, especially in scratches that might be the result of claws or other use and abuse. Rather than plastic, go for bowls that are stainless steel, or even ceramic or glass. Even so, though, it is still important to clean any and all bowls often. Saliva, oils or grease, and other debris from food or the environment can lead to a dirty bowl, so even if you have stainless steel, ceramic, or glass bowls, do clean them often. Unclean bowls can lead to issues such as feline acne, or, in worst case scenarios, gastrointestinal or other serious conditions caused by dirty, spoiled remnants in a food or water bowl. So, though we're certain you all already know this, do be sure to keep those food and water bowls spick and span!
