Tonks is still happily claiming my laptop cover as her favorite sleeping spot. After all, my laptop has now been at the repair shop for a week, and so Tonks has its soft and apparently cozy case all to herself.
Tonks will be very upset whenever I finally get my laptop back. I always let her sleep on the case when I'm using the computer, but she's currently enjoying having it as her own 24/7.
Happy Tuesday, friends!

Tip of the Day
Today's tip on taking your kitty to the vet is one that we're sure all of you have heard, and that is to get your kitty used to the carrier. The first and foremost way to do this is to keep the carrier out, in sight, and accessible all the time. If the carrier is tucked away, then it very well may simply become a source of fear when it comes out once a year. Keeping it out at all times can help combat this.
What's more, try to make the carrier a place of comfort or fun. For example, place a cozy blanket in the carrier, so that it can perhaps be seen as a place to nap. You can also place toys in the carrier, as well as treats. Or, you can try to use the carrier as a feeding station, such as by putting one of your kitty's bowls of food in there. The carrier could also be where your cat is given treats. These methods can help your cat associate the carrier with things that are cozy, fun, or commonplace, in turn helping it to be seen as less of a threat. All in all, help your kitty get used to the carrier by turning it into a place where good things happen, rather than simply a place in which once a year they're locked up and taken somewhere unfamiliar. Associating the carrier with happy experiences can potentially make vet visits a bit less scary for the kitty in your life.

I foresee you buying a new laptop cover so she can keep it...
Tonks is a cutie. Sorry the laptop is sick. Cute drawing and great tips. I have a carrier out in the bedroom and Dusty likes to nap in it.
