Not So Grumpy on Thankful Thimble Thursday

Hello and happy Thursday, friends! Thimble is of course here and ready for Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.

Today, Thimble is again grateful for fleece blankets, and for how adorable her face is even when a bit grumpy looking.

Honestly, Thimble wasn't even grumpy when this photo was taken. This tabby girl is a ham for the camera, but sometimes, right before she shoves her face at the camera, she gets that there serious look on her face. She was quite happily purring when this photo was snapped, so don't let that cute little face fool you.

Thimble hopes that seeing her grumpy-but-not-grumpy face made your day that much brighter!

Flashback Doodle of the Day

Today's flashback doodle is from quite a few years ago. I've changed some of my preferred color palette and a bit of my drawing style since then, but I still wanted to share it for its autumnal vibes. It's yet another oldie that I'd love to recreate soon.

Tip of the Day

Yesterday we discussed whether it was safe to feed your furbaby a taste of that Thanksgiving turkey. Another food you might find on the Thanksgiving table is ham. Is this safe to feed your furbaby, though? Ham, like turkey potentially can be, is often high in fat. Ham is also often processed or treated, and can possibly contain high amounts of salt. These factors can lead to any number of issues, such as gastrointestinal distress or pancreatitis, especially if consumed in excess by your kitty or pup. And, just as we've said of other Thanksgiving foods, also be aware of other potentially concerning ingredients added to ham, such as onion and garlic. While very small amounts might not have an effect for some furbabies, do be aware of the potential side effects that fatty, processed, treated, or seasoned ham can cause.

It's also worth noting to be aware of the contents and preparation of chicken, beef, and all meats served at your Thanksgiving dinner. These can all potentially contain problematic fat, or additives such as onion, garlic, salt, and so forth. To prevent pancreatitis, gastrointestinal distress, or other issues, either refrain from giving your furbaby a taste at all, or give treats only in moderation and only when you are certain that the food contains no potentially dangerous components.
