We have failed to participate in The Cat on My Head's Sunday Selfie Blog Hop in quite some time. Like I mentioned yesterday, though, I'm really trying to post every day in October. That means we indeed have some selfies to share today. These star Tonks, but she got some help from a not-so-spooky feline friend.
That there black kitty was from Target's Halloween line a few years ago. The kitties have a similar, smaller version in the form of a kicker toy. This kooky kitty stays out at our house year round.
Now, are you ready for Tonks's bloopery selfies with her Halloween friend?
If you look at Tonks's blurry yawn in that last photo, you'll notice that she only has one single canine tooth. Almost exactly one year ago today, both Tonks and Thimble went in for dental procedures to have some unhealthy teeth removed. Thimble lost more overall teeth, but Tonks lost three of her four canines, leaving her with just the upper right one. Her yawns are looking a little extra cute these days.
Have a spooky good Sunday, friends!

Spooky Flashback Doodle of the Day
Since today's selfies co-star a certain black cat, today we'll share a flashback Halloween doodle that stars two other sorts of black cats.I remember having a lot of fun with that there doodle. It has all sorts of my favorite Halloween things, like carving pumpkins, scary movies, spooky and kooky decor, and all sorts of other freakishly festive fun.

Tip of the Day
We're just in the early stages of our October-long Halloween tips. Today, how about we get one of the most common Halloween tips out of the way? That's right, today we're talking about candy. The long and short of it is that you should never leave candy sitting out where your furbaby can find it and help themselves. Whether it be candy you're saving for yourself, or the candy dish you've prepared for those trick-or-treaters, always keep it well hidden from the kitties and pups.
As you all certainly know, chocolate can be very toxic to our furbabies. Another candy danger includes artificial sweeteners like xylitol, which can be found in sugar-free candy, among other foods and goods. This candy discussion can also include raisins, and the double whammy that is chocolate-covered raisins. After all, raisins are toxic to kitties and pups just like chocolate is. To be on the safe side, no matter what kind of candy you're handing out this Halloween or have around the house, keep it hidden away from curious paws and maws.
In the event that your furbaby finds the candy, know the potential signs of toxicity. These can vary, and might include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or even neurological symptoms. Should you think or know that your furbaby has gotten into your candy stash, or should you observe any signs of toxicity, do not hesitate to seek veterinary assistance. It also does not hurt to have on hand a poison control number, such as the ASPCA at 1-888-426-4435.
