Tonks Tuesday

I recently came across some flashback photos that made me smile big time. Does anyone remember when we received this?

And do you remember that what was inside might not be what you expect?

Tonks is indeed that cat who can fit into anything. Envelopes, cereal boxes, you name it—Tonks will find her way inside.

Tonks and all of us here wish you a terrific Tuesday!

Doodle of the Day

Today we're sharing the first doodle in our new bookish series. It's a very simple one, and nowhere near my favorite in this series, but maybe that makes it a good segue into this new series. So, here's some books and a cat.

Tip of the Day

We are continuing our tips relating to ferals and other outdoor cats in the cold winter months. Today's tip is a more general one, and it relates to the fact that animals seek out warm places to sleep when it is cold outside. For example, cats and kittens, and other small animals, might climb up under the hood of a car that has recently been driven, since the engine will be warm. For this reason, especially when it is cold outside, honk, clap, or tap on your car's hood before starting it. This will give a warning to any animals who might have sought shelter there, and will give them time to find safety elsewhere. It is of course perfectly possible that no animals will be sleeping under the hood of your car, but in case a cat or other animal is, making noise before you start your car will help ensure that they get out of harm's way.
