Tonks Tuesday: Coy and Cozy

It's Tonks Tuesday, and today the little calico is here to bring you a bright and sunny shot of her cute self.


Tonks apologizes for not looking at the camera, but sometimes she simply likes to play coy. At least she's also quite cozy on a pile of blankets in that there photo. Tonks loves herself a comfy blanket, or two or three or seven.

Happy Tuesday, friends!

Flashback Doodle of the Day

I was scrolling through older doodles, and this one popped up. I think it was from an April A to Z Challenge from years past, when K stood for kickboxing. Or maybe it was B for boxing. For all I know it was H for health or F for fitness. I genuinely can't remember, but either way, here's a kitty ready to assist in a workout.

Tip of the Day

Yesterday, we mentioned some of the benefits of growing cat grass indoors for your kitty. We wanted to offer a couple more tips in this same line of thought. First, you don't only have to grow cat grass in small pots from which your kitty can have a bit of a green snack. Another option is to create for your kitty a cat grass bed. For example, you could grow some cat grass in a larger pot, and some cats will enjoy this grassy environment for napping or playing purposes. Cats' ancestors out in the wild often live, sleep, and even play in this type of grassy environment, so why not our domesticated kitties?

Another option is to create beds or play areas out of artificial grass, which can again give off the idea of a more wild environment for your kitty. Most synthetic grass materials are safe for pets, but you should of course still always double check, or simply look for ones that are specifically designed to be pet-friendly. There are, in fact, artificial grass toys, scratchers, and beds that are specifically designed for cats. Did you know there are even artificial grass potty mats for dogs, or even cats? All in all, artificial grass is not only low-maintenance, but can also have beneficial effects for your kitty. It can offer them a place to play or snooze, all while mimicking grassy environments found out in the wild. If you think your cat might enjoy cat grass or synthetic grass in the form of a bed or play area, perhaps look into setting this up for them.
