Up Close and Personal with Thimble on Thankful Thursday

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

Today, Thimble is so very grateful for the front row seat she gets during cuddle time.

In these photos, Thimble is laying on me and is right in my face. She's a very up close and personal kind of kitty. She's that way with cuddles, which I absolutely love, but she'll do it even more so when she sees me pull out my phone or camera. She loves getting the attention of having her photo taken. Thimble is a little ham and I love it.

Thimble hopes all of her kitty friends also get to enjoy being the center of attention. All kitties deserve it!

Tip of the Day

As you all certainly know, cats often seek out heat. Those pups out there sometimes do, too. For this reason, when it's cold this winter, monitor your furbaby around any sort of heat source. This of course goes for fireplaces, which should be sufficiently blocked so that kitties and pups can't directly access it or end up with burns. But, this also goes for various space heaters, radiators, and even floor or wall registers for the furnace. Especially if your cat or dog is known to park themselves incredibly close to or even on top of such heat sources, be sure to keep a very close eye on them when heaters are being used or when the furnace is running. If they are near a heat source, check on them regularly and feel them to make sure that they are not getting dangerously hot. Depending on the kind of heat produced by various heat sources, burns and other injuries can occur if a kitty or pup sleeps on or near it. If needed, such as if your kitty or pup insists on keeping a heater or furnace register company, consider blocking direct access to it. For example, there are safe, fire-proof covers for furnace registers on the floor or wall. When it comes to space heaters, if needed, place them in areas where your kitty or pup does not have access. In other cases, you might be able to find a way to safely block direct access to heaters and radiators, so that your furbaby can enjoy the heat without the risk of burns. Of course we want our furbabies to stay warm in the winter, but it is also important to ensure that your kitty or pup does not end up with burns or other injuries.
