Caturday Art

With March well upon us now, I've been feeling in the mood to scribble up some doodles of the spring sort. I decided to set my first spring doodles in a welcoming little home, with each individual doodle set in a different room of said home. It'll probably be a weird and wacky home decorated for spring in a weird and wacky sort of way. That all being said, I decided to start simple, easy, and perhaps predictable by setting the first doodle in this spring home's library.

Stay tuned over the next week or so to see how the rest of this strange little home is decorated for spring. Of course, this doodled up home is inhabited by plenty of cats. That means these spring doodles will not be lacking feline features.

Happy Caturday, friends!

Tip of the Day

Today's National Pet Poison Awareness Month tip is one we've touched on time and time again, but it is a pretty important one. As you all certainly know, never forget that some human founds can indeed be toxic to our kitties and pups. Chocolate, caffeine, alcohol, grapes, and raisins are just some of the foods that could lead to extremely dangerous or even fatal consequences if ingested. Also don't forget about the sweetener known as xylitol. This can often be found in sugar-free gums and candies, but also in various other foods, drinks, and even medicines, supplements, and toothpaste. This sneaky ingredient is indeed toxic, especially to dogs.

Though symptoms of toxicity can vary based on what human food our furbaby ate, and how much, signs can include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, difficulty walking, or any other number of concerning manifestations. If you know or think your furbaby might have eaten a toxic food, do not hesitate to seek veterinary assistance. Just as with any poison, removing the toxins from the body and treating the patient in a timely manner can be a matter of life or death. To prevent such emergencies, avoid feeding your furbaby any and all foods that you are not absolutely certain are safe.
