Caturday Art

It's time for Athena's Caturday Art Blog Hop! That of course means we have a doodle to share, and it's a weird one.


That doodle might be a tad bit strange, but we hope you enjoyed it nonetheless. Happy Caturday to all!

Tip of the Day

We're on the 10th day of our 31 days of Halloween tips. Now, we simply couldn't go this entire Halloween month without mentioning none other than pumpkins! As most of you likely already know, pumpkin can make for a healthy treat for a kitty or pup. Plain, cooked pumpkin can be an excellent source of fiber. This can help to keep the bowels regular, and so it could be something to keep in mind for those furbabies with irregular bowel movements. Pumpkin and the fiber it provides can also help move hairballs more easily through those kitty intestinal tracts. Fiber, such as that from pumpkin, can also help a kitty or pup feel full for longer, which means that it can also potentially aid in weight loss. All of these benefits are on top of the fact that pumpkin is also high in a variety of beneficial nutrients, such as vitamin A and vitamin C.

That all being said, do of course ensure that you only feed your furbaby cooked pumpkin of the plain variety. You can feed your furbaby pumpkin puree from a can, of course ensuring that it contains no spices or other added ingredients. You can also cook up your own pumpkin and feed it to your kitty or pup as a treat. What's more, these days, there are many types of dry and moist foods, as well as treats, that contain pumpkin as an ingredient. These such foods might assist certain furbabies with bowel regularity or weight loss. Of course, if you have any questions or concerns regarding your furbaby's diet and digestion, discuss options such as pumpkin with your veterinarian.

We purchased can after can of cooked pumpkin for Celestial Chuck; not sure if it really did any good, but we tried!

I love the drawing. I wish my cats would eat pumpkin, but none will. I even tried cat food with pumpkin in it, but they snubbed it.

Cute doodle! My neighbor swears by pumpkin in her cat's food, but I've never tried it.

Hmmm, what is strange about it except the lady's socks?
