Evan had a bit of a rough weekend. He ended up in a cystitis flare, which made urinating a bit difficult and painful for him. I increased all of his meds to the highest doses and frequencies and so he started to feel better, though his drugs also made him a bit, well, like this:
I know Evan looks a bit sad there, but he's on a high dose of gabapentin and was really just very sleepy. He was also purring, and I promise he got lots of cuddles.
Wishing you all a happy Monday!
I'm trying to scribble up as many new Halloween doodles as I can for this October. I'd love to create 31 new ones, of course to share one per day, though at present I make no promises. I already have quite a few done and am trying to save them for October. So, in the meantime, here's an autumnal, sort of spooky flashback doodle starring my angel Rosie.
That one there is actually based on a story I was working on a while back. That particular story is being reworked at some point in the future, as I'm now writing some other strange things that need to come before that particular story. For various reasons. Anyway. All that to say, quite a few of my new, upcoming Halloween doodles are based on new stories I'm writing, of course starring lots of kitty and other characters.
Today's disaster preparedness tip is a rather specific one, and it is to consider using a pet rescue alert decal or sticker at your house. These decals or stickers are meant to alert rescue response teams as to how many and what kinds of animals are in the home. They can be placed on a screen door, on a window near a door, or somewhere similar where rescuers can easily see it. This type of information on what animals are in the home can help in the case of a house fire or any emergency evacuation, especially in cases when you are in any way unable to inform response teams as to how many and what kinds of animals are in the home and in need of rescuing. There are a variety of these decals or stickers available online, but one easy way to get them is through the ASPCA, as you can visit their website and order free pet emergency alert decals for your home.
Alerting emergency personnel of the animals in your home can help them to more quickly rescue your companion animals in the event of a fire or other emergency. This being said, though, please do ensure that any such decals or stickers are kept up-to-date. Not only is this important for ensuring that all animals in the house are properly accounted for, but is also important for the safety of emergency personnel. For example, if one of your furbabies has passed away but it is still included on any displayed pet emergency alert at your home, then emergency crews might put their lives at risk looking for an animal who is not even present. So, while these pet emergency alert bulletins can indeed benefit your pets' safety, also ensure that you use them properly in order to keep emergency personnel equally safe.
