Tonks was chasing yet another fly in yet another window when I brought the camera to her. She was quite shocked by the interruption of her hunt, which resulted in this expression on her face.

Tip of the Day
The summer heat can of course pose an extreme danger to cats being trapped. Potentially fatal overheating or heat stroke can occur if a cat is trapped and left sitting in the trap in the sun. In addition to this, traps are often made of metal, which means that if these traps are sitting on a hot surface, such as asphalt, the trap as well as the cat inside can overheat in this way as well. To combat such issues, try to trap and thereafter keep ferals in the shade. After they are trapped, do not leave the cats sitting out in the sun and heat, but instead transfer them somewhere cool as soon as possible. Also keep in mind the cats' safety when transporting them. For example, as you all surely know, the interior of a car can quickly become like a deadly oven in the summer months, so do not leave any animals, including trapped ferals, inside hot cars.
TNR is of course a very important practice for the safety and well-being of feral cats. That doesn't mean there aren't risks to the cats, though, and that includes the weather. So, if you are assisting in the significant task of trapping ferals, of course always ensure the cats' safety in all weather.

Tonks is a cutie. I like the drawing and great tips. I am a big fan of TNR even though I do more of a TNK )Trap, neuter, keep) .
You're too cute! Love that doodle too :)
A Tuesday with a Tonks is a good one.
Well, there sure isnt much ta chase inside the house here. So a fly seems pretty exciting! They sure move fast. Ayla used to be the best at catching them (and TBT says that always seemed to be a Siamese skill). They seem to have fast paws!
