Mancat Monday

Hello, friends! We had a busy weekend filled with chores and tasks that had been forgotten during the holiday season and other craziness that has been happening these past couple of weeks. I got as caught up as I could, and I'm glad that the next few weekends should be far less chaotic. One of the tasks I accomplished this weekend was, sadly, deconstructing Christmas in my house. We got some photos of the kitties helping with that, so we'll have a bit of a final farewell to Christmas post tomorrow.

For today, how about an adorable, sleepy orange boy on this Mancat Monday?

Happy Monday, friends!

Tip of the Day

Our previous winter tip was to avoid using typical salt, or ice melt, for the sake of the health of your furbaby and their paws. One thing we failed to mention, and that is therefore today's tip, is to take precautions in the event that neighbors' or others' use of salt might affect your kitty or pup. In the event that your furbaby goes on winter walks in areas where salt is used, wipe their paws off when you get home in order to remove as much of the salt or other chemicals as possible. Even if your furbaby does not go outdoors, there is still a chance they can be exposed to salt or other potentially dangerous chemicals, such as by way of your shoes. To help prevent injury or illness due to exposure to or ingestion of salt in this manner, remove your shoes when you get home, or at the very least thoroughly wipe them off. In addition to this, vacuum regularly in order to keep salt and other debris from entering your home, or from trailing through your house. Ice melts can pose health risks to kitties and pups, so avoid their use, but also realize and prevent against the dangers they can pose if they are used by others and out of your control.
