Tonks Tuesday on Blanket Mountain

Tonks is a pro at chasing down fresh laundry, especially when it's right out of the dryer and thereby warm. Most often, she follows this mom of hers around when I'm removing blankets from the dryer. Since I can't say no to her, Tonks often gets to enjoy said warm pile of blankets.

Tonks has napped on a great many Blanket Mountains fresh out of the dryer, which is fine, because just look at how cute that little calico is.

Tonks hopes all of you also get to enjoy a nap or two on a warm blanket! Happy Tuesday!

Tip of the Day

Today's National Cat Health Month tip is one we've mentioned many times, probably even recently, but we'll repeat it yet again because it can be very important for your kitty's health. And this tip is to keep up with those preventatives. Typically recommended for monthly administration, different forms of prevention can, of course, prevent a variety of health concerns. For example, flea prevention can help keep your kitty free from flea infestations, flea bites and related dermatitis, bloodborne diseases that can be contracted from fleas, and other issues that arise from a kitty having fleas. Especially depending on your cat's lifestyle, such as if they go outdoors, administering prevention for parasites such as tapeworms and roundworms can also be significant. If infested, various intestinal worms can lead to issues such as diarrhea and weight loss, among others. Also don't forget the concern of heartworms, which can stem from mosquitoes. Heartworms can be a very dangerous parasite that can affect the heart and lungs, so preventing this is of course something significant to consider. Prevention is something to always consider for keeping your kitty happy and healthy. That being said, do always still discuss this with your veterinarian, who can help you determine your kitty's risk for certain parasites, and which preventatives might be best or safest for your kitty.
