Happy Belated Mother's Day!

I failed to get a Mother's Day post up yesterday, so I want to wish all the moms out there a belated Happy Mother's Day! Whether your children are of the humanoid sort, furry, feathered, or anything and everything in between, you make this world go round.

As for me, this weekend my orange boy bestowed me with lots of his adorable and expert cuddles. I always look forward to when I can sit down and relax on the couch, because if I'm on the couch, Evan is always right there with me.

Evan will often start by snoozing beside me, like you see above. But, more often than not, I end up serving as that adorable little guy's pillow. That's what happening in these photos here...

I love my couch and bed cuddle sessions with my sweet boy. Of course, I love my cuddle sessions with all of my furry babies, but Evan is the most likely of them all to cuddle me at every chance he gets. And I'm so grateful for that.

Happy Monday, friends!

Doodle of the Day

Since this is our belated Mother's Day post, I figured I'd share the doodle I scribbled up as my mom's Mother's Day card. I made some mistakes while drawing this and it's full of all sorts of imperfections, but what's new. And as a little explanation, one of my parents' kitties is a humongous yet also incredibly sweet and cuddly orange tabby boy named Foggy.

This doodle might slightly caricaturize Foggy's size, perhaps just a tad bit.

Tip of the Day

The final tip in our wildlife series involves some additional things you can do to help keep the wildlife safe in their environment. First, as you all surely already know, please refrain from littering. Do not toss trash willy-nilly, but instead place it in a secure trash bin, or a recycling bin if relevant. This includes any and all items, as any variety of things can lead to dangers for wildlife. For example, the handles of plastic or paper bags can get stuck around the necks of wildlife critters, or any variety of items could be swallowed and lead to a choking hazard. And that's just naming two potential examples. To further protect wildlife, please cut the aforementioned handles on plastic and paper bags before tossing them into the trash or recycling. This ensures that wildlife won't get their heads or limbs stuck in the handles. This also goes for milk jug lid rings, plastic or other rings that multipacks of soda come in, and anything else of that sort. Please simply cut such things before tossing them out in order to prevent strangulation or other injuries to wildlife.

In addition, before tossing them in a bin, do your best to rinse out cans and other food or drink containers. For one, this can perhaps help reduce the likelihood of wildlife eating food that is potentially unhealthy for them. Also, rinsing food containers can help reduce the likelihood of wildlife sniffing out leftover debris and therefore breaking into and going through trash and recycling bins, something that we surely all wish to avoid.

We share this land with a great many critters, and it's important that we keep this land safe for all of its inhabitants. So, please refrain from littering or otherwise contributing to situations that can be dangerous to wildlife.
