Thimble Thursday

Hello, friends! There's been some mid-week chaos in both my personal and work life, and so today we're just popping in real fast to say hello. And by that I mean that Thimble is here to share some happy little bloopers she snapped just for you all.

Thimble also wants to help me share with you all the fill-in statements for tomorrow's Friendly Fill-Ins challenge. My amazing co-host Ellen of 15andmeowing came up with the first two, and I came up with the second two.

1. I would like to see what books are on _________'s bookshelf. (Thanks, Melissa!)

2. I adore _________.

3. There is no amount of money you could pay me to _________.

4. When I failed to _________, I _________.

And now, here's a flashback doodle to hopefully help give you some sort of inspiration today.

Tomorrow we'll make up for lost time by adding our overdue weekly poem and its illustration to our Friendly Fill-Ins post. We'll see you then, 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 certainly 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.
