Caturday Art: It's Creepy and It's Kooky

While I work on coloring in more of this year's new Halloween doodles this weekend, today we're sharing a flashback. I scribbled this one up just last year, and I was inspired to draw it after rewatching the Wednesday show on Netflix. You know how the Addams family includes Thing, the disembodied hand? Well, last year I suddenly had a story idea that involved a character much like that, except for the feline sort. My disembodied paw is still buddies with its source material, though. I know it's weird, and I'll never deny that, but I'd honestly love to get around to writing this story idea in the not too distant future.

Shall I stop rambling and just share the doodle already? Yes? Here you go.

Have a creepy and kooky Caturday!

Tip of the Day

Yesterday's Halloween tip was about the benefits of feeding pumpkin to your furbabies. Today's tip is related to this, but is about a part of the pumpkin that isn't as often discussed with regard to a furbaby's diet. We're talking about those pumpkin seeds. If fed in a manner that is safe, pumpkin seeds can have health benefits for our furbabies, just as they can for humans. For example, pumpkin seeds contain valuable nutrients, and they can have anti-inflammatory properties. It is also believed by some that pumpkin seeds have some deworming properties as well.

All of the above being said, if you decide to offer pumpkin seeds to your kitty or pup, of course do so safely. First, feed them only as an occasional treat or food topper. In addition, if the seeds are a potential choking hazard, you can cut them into small pieces. Also, of course, ensure that the pumpkin seeds are plain, and that they do not contain any added ingredients, such as onion, garlic, or even salt or sugar. We'll again also add that, should your furbaby have any health concerns, of course first discuss adding anything such as pumpkin seeds to your furbaby's diet with your veterinarian.
