Tonks Tuesday: Window Views

It's Tonks Tuesday, and the calico is a little busy enjoying her favorite window views.


That there is Tonks gazing out one of the back windows at our house. She doesn't like limiting her scope, though, and so she of course often runs up front to snoopervise out those windows as well.


Truth be told, Tonks was actually watching bugs on the window in both of those photos. That's one of her favorite pastimes. That, and torturing the poor bugs she manages to get her paws on.

Happy Tuesday, friends!

Tip of the Day

We're still making our way through our tips on litter boxes. Today's tip is a quick and simple one, and it's to use the times you scoop and clean the litter box wisely. In other words, use your litter scooping time to be observant of your kitty's urine and feces. Are there any changes to the urine or stool volume or frequency? Is it a different color? Is there blood or mucus in it? Is the stool especially hard, or especially soft or runny? What about the odor? Excrement never smells particularly nice, but is there any new change in its smell? Try to always be observant of these types of things when you're scooping your cat's litter box. After all, some diseases will have symptoms that show up in the litter box, and so it is indeed important to make sure you are regularly checking to make sure all is well in that box. Of course, if you do notice anything concerning while scooping the litter box, do not hesitate to make a call to your veterinarian.

Bugs are a cat version of busywork.
