Yet More Kooky Caturday Art

I still clearly need to work on my posting skills, especially on weekends. But, here we are, late but at least not never. And for today, we have some doodles that are a continuation of what we shared yesterday. I mentioned a fake spooky bakery and cat café that showed up in my brain one day, and which I've included in the Halloween-ish story I'm writing. Now, we have a couple more kooky goods to share from the menu. First up is what I call the Tombstone Scone.

It's been a long time since I've had a scone, and now I really want to remedy that. Maybe I'll even try to make one in the shape of a tombstone. The success of that is doubtful, but it might be worth a spooky try.

And, next, I call this one the Moonshine Muffin.

Happy Caturday, friends!

Tip of the Day

Can you believe we're still on the topic of pumpkins? We talked about the benefits of pumpkin and even pumpkin seeds. All of that aside, though, always keep in mind the age and condition of any pumpkins to which your furbaby has access. This time of year, pumpkins are indeed often used as beautiful outdoor decorations or spooky jack-o'-lanterns. Pumpkins won't stay pretty forever, though, and we're sure you've all witnessed the ultimate demise of pumpkins. That being said, old pumpkins can indeed begin to rot, and if pumpkins in this state are consumed by your kitty or pup, issues such as gastrointestinal distress can occur.

In addition, also keep wildlife in mind with regard to this, as old, rotting food may not sit well for them, either. What's more, pumpkins that are left to sit outside and rot will sometimes ferment. If squirrels or other wildlife consume fermented pumpkins, they can potentially end up in a more or less drunken state. Therefore, be sure to compost or otherwise dispose of old pumpkins in a timely, safe, secure manner, for the safety of your furbabies and the wildlife.
