Woof Woof Wednesday

Today, pup Astrid is blurry and bloopery. Apparently it's hard to sit still when you're smiling. But, Astrid wanted to show you all how sometimes her throne by the window is usurped by a cat.

Thimble won the window view yet again. Isn't that sad for pup Astrid? It's not like she could go to any of the other windows in the house, obviously.

Happy Wednesday, friends!

Tip of the Day

We're still in the midst of our series of tips on taking that kitty of yours to the vet. Today's tip on this topic is a plain and simple one, and that is to take with you to the vet your kitty's favorite toy(s) or treats. This might not work for all cats, but in some cases, toys or treats can make for great distractions or positive reinforcement during your cat's exam or vaccinations. That being said, though, do try to choose wisely when it comes to what you take as a distraction. For example, does your cat get hyperactive or even aggressive when under the influence of catnip? If so, try to avoid toys laced with catnip, and avoid taking anything else that might cause a problem rather than assist during the vet visit. So, all in all, consider whether a simple toy or some treats might help your cat make it through a vet visit. If so, pack those so that they can go along.
