Thankful Thimble Thursday: Too Cute for Words

Hello and happy Thursday, friends! Thimble is of course ready for Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.

Today, Thimble is grateful for warm and cozy places to nap.

And, of course, Thimble is also thankful for belly rubs, and for how adorable she is when she rolls around. Even when blurry, she's simply too cute for words.

You are indeed free to rub that belly. Thimble loves to have that belly tickled and smooched and all that good stuff, for which I myself am very grateful.

Before we go, though, we want to wish everyone a Happy Pi(e) Day! For anyone who might not know what on earth I'm talking about, the mathematical constant known as pi, that being 𝜋, equals 3.14. So, March 14 is Pi(e) Day.

I failed to finish my new Pi(e) Day drawing this week. I'll complete it soon and share it then, along with a number of other doodles I have complete and need to scan and upload to share. But I digress. For today, here's an old doodle of Angel Rosie the Baker. She says you can pretend this pie is whatever you want, whether that be banana pie, lemon meringue pie, pineapple pie, or whatever else you're craving.

Tip of the Day

Today's National Pet Poison Awareness Month tip is about essential oils. There are a wide variety of essential oils on the market, and there are also a wide variety of reactions your furbaby might display if exposed to certain essential oils. Some essential oils can indeed be poisonous to our kitties or pups, kitties typically being especially sensitive to them. Depending on the type of oil and its concentration, exposure to and ingestion of an essential oil can lead to potentially serious side effects, such as vomiting, diarrhea, and difficulty walking, just to name a couple.

To prevent any accidental toxicity or emergencies, it might be best to simply prevent your furbaby from coming into contact with any essential oils, to ensure that your furbaby does not come into contact with one containing a toxic ingredient. This would mean refraining from putting essential oils on your kitty or pup, or placing essential oil diffusers anywhere near where your furbaby can reach. Also keep in mind that essential oils and their fragrances can also potentially cause respiratory irritation, with symptoms such as ocular discharge, nasal discharge, or signs related to asthma. When in doubt, keep essential oils, essential oil diffusers, and any other similar products well away from your furbaby, as their health and safety is not worth the risk.
