It's Tonks Tuesday. Today, the calico isn't sharing a photo with all that great of lighting. That said, I snapped it a couple nights ago, when Tonks stole the chair I was sitting in after I got up for all of one whole minute. She looked so adorable about her thievery, though, as you can clearly see here.
Tonks was looking right at me with the cutest look on her face, but as soon as I pulled my phone out to snap her photo she refused to make eye contact. Even so, you get the adorable gist above.
Happy Tuesday, friends!

Flashback Doodle of the DayOne of the themes I almost picked for this year's April A to Z Challenge was something related to Halloween. I didn't end up picking that this time around, though I did a Halfway to Halloween, or springtime Halloween, theme a few years ago. All of the doodles starred my sweet angel Rosie and looked a little something like this:
A lot of the doodles from that series were actually way more Halloweenish than the one above. I think I'll share more of those over the next few days. This also reminds me that I'm way past due to draw more doodles starring my beautiful Rosie.

Tip of the Day
As part of National Pet Poison Awareness Month, we're now talking about the risk of poisonous bites your kitty or pup might receive from other critters. Depending on where you live, or where you might be visiting with your furbaby, you might find it necessary to be on the lookout for critters such as snakes and spiders whose bites can have toxic effects. When it comes to snakes, some of the dangerous ones include certain coral snakes and rattlesnakes. As for spiders, as most of you certainly know, black widows and brown recluses are among the most dangerous. Bites from such critters can result in any number of dangerous or life-threatening side effects, including cardiovascular shock, respiratory distress, neurological damage, and tissue damage, among others.
When outdoors, especially in areas where snakes, spiders, or other venomous critters are a known possibility, always monitor your furbaby and keep an eye out for danger. As needed, research the wildlife of areas you will be, so that you know what snakes, spiders, and other critters of which to be cautious. Of course, if your kitty or pup is bitten by a spider or snake, especially a known venomous one, do not hesitate to seek veterinary care. In many such cases, counteracting the venom in a timely manner is crucial.

Cats are quick to hop into a nicely warmed up spot!
They don't miss a trick ;)
Too cute! I have a feeling you didn't make her move either :)
Tonks is such a cutie. Nice drawing and great tips. XO
They do love our chairs.
Don't hold the camera phone in front of your face, hold it out where you can still see if the subject is where you want it, but make sure your face is clear and make eye contact with the animal. I've been doing that, and they don't turn their heads away!
