Toesies and Tongue on Tonks Tuesday

Hello, friends! It's Tuesday, as in Tonks Tuesday. And today, the calico is here to show off her adorable toesies and tongue.

There's nothing like a good ol' tongue bath in the sun. Is that what they mean by sunbathing? Because if this is sunbathing, Tonks is a pro at it.

Happy Tuesday to all!

Flashback Doodle of the Day

Today we have yet another flashback doodle from an old series starring Edgar Allan Poe and his tortie Catterina. This one was inspired by one of my all-time favorite stories by Poe, that being The Fall of the House of Usher.

Tip of the Day

We're still making our way through our tips on litter boxes. Today's tip is a quick and simple one, and it's to use the times you scoop and clean the litter box wisely. In other words, use your litter scooping time to be observant of your kitty's urine and feces. Are there any changes to the urine or stool volume or frequency? Is it a different color? Is there blood or mucus in it? Is the stool especially hard, or especially soft or runny? What about the odor? Excrement never smells particularly nice, but is there any new change in its smell? Try to always be observant of these types of things when you're scooping your cat's litter box. After all, some diseases will have symptoms that show up in the litter box, and so it is indeed important to make sure you are regularly checking to make sure all is well in that box. Of course, if you do notice anything concerning while scooping the litter box, do not hesitate to make a call to your veterinarian.
