I consider you all to be great friends, so I feel comfortable and compelled to share with you all that my maternal grandmother passed away yesterday. This is not the grandma I mentioned in yesterday's post, as that is my paternal grandmother, who is now my only living grandparent. I will be posting here on our blog this week like usual, because it brings me joy, but my posts might be a bit on the short side, and I will probably not be finishing many new doodles this week. Things are strange these days, and my family isn't yet sure how this will fully play out considering the current condition of the world. We should be able to have some semblance of a funeral, but there are a number of extra details that have to be ironed out because of the pandemic.
Thank you all for being our friends. Your kindness and support means more to us than we could ever express.

Flashback Doodle of the Day
As I mentioned above, I don't know that I'll be able to finish many new doodles this week. The newest series of winter doodles I'm working on were mildly inspired by a series of doodles I created back in 2018, though. So, for the next couple or few days, I'll go ahead and share that older series of doodles. By the time we've shared all those, I'll surely have finished the new doodles that were somewhat inspired by this older series. Anyway, here's just one of those flashback doodles of which I speak.

Tip of the Day
Today's tip on caring for ferals and other outdoor cats is to perhaps consider offering them toys, such as inside a shelter you've set up for them. Cats are cats, and even feral cats often have a healthy instinct to play. Pick toys that will not scare them, and toys that will not make them fear being heard by predators. For example, perhaps avoid toys that jingle, squeak, or that make other loud noises. What's more, when picking out toys for them, also pick those that can be easily cleaned. Pick toys that are plastic and can be soaked and washed if dirty, or toys made of fabric that is able to be easily and thoroughly washed. Even ferals and other outdoor cats often have a desire to play, so perhaps do consider offering them toys that safely allow them to do so.
