Happy Thursday, friends! You better believe Thimble is here and ready for Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.
Today, the little tabby girl is grateful for warm spots her furry siblings leave behind. Specifically, Evan gets special blankets just to himself since he has urinary incontinence. Thimble has little to no self-preservation, and so she loves to sit in the warm, sometimes wet spots Evan leaves behind on his blankets.
We still have some tips all about taking that kitty to the vet. Today's tip is to, if needed, discuss with your veterinarian medications that might help calm a cat who becomes especially anxious, or even aggressive, when it comes time to visit the vet. Some cats simply become reactive when they see a carrier, when they get into a car, when they visit a veterinary office, or when they meet strangers. If you have tried the usual tricks—which of course include leaving the carrier out at all times, using Feliway, using treats to coax and distract, and so forth—yet your kitty still becomes anxious or difficult to handle, then there are some potential sedating medications that could be given when it comes time to visit the vet. Your veterinarian would be able to determine if or which sedatives might work best for your particular kitty, given said kitty's behavior as well as health. So, be upfront and honest with your veterinarian regarding the ease and safety of getting your cat in a carrier and to the vet, and then the two of you can discuss potential options.

Thimble, that is a stunning photo of you. I love the doodle as well and thanks again for the tips - we always can use tips about going to the Vet.
Thimble you are most beautiful, even if a bit damp.
We call those "fairy lights," and many cats seem to like them.
Thimble is a cutie. I like the drawing and your tips are great. Brody needs meds to go to the vet. I wish it had been suggested when poor Millie had to go.
Oh, Thimble!!! MOL!!!
Thimble, even in the wet spots..really?
