Hello, friends! We're ready for the Friendly Fill-Ins challenge, and we'd love for you to join us. My amazing co-host Ellen of 15andmeowing came up with the first two fill-in statements, and I came up with the second two.
1. A Ted Talk that I found helpful was done by _________.
2. If I could make my own candy heart it would say _________.
3. I _________ early in the morning, but I _________ late at night.
4. _________ is what I love most about myself.
My answers are below in bold.
1. A Ted Talk that I found helpful was done by someone yet to be determined.
(I've actually never seen or listened to a single TED Talk. I've always meant to look into finding some that might be up my alley, as I do enjoy listening to podcasts and videos on topics that interest or inspire me. I listen to a lot of podcasts and videos from or about my favorite authors, for example, as reading and writing have a lot of meaning to me. I should look for some TED Talks in that vein.)

2. If I could make my own candy heart it would say, My true love has 4 paws.
(I was really trying to think of something clever for this one, but all I could come up with is that true statement right there.)
3. I am inspired and productive early in the morning, but I am slow and sleepy late at night.
(Especially as I've gotten older, I've really become an early bird. I just love getting up to a silent world, when it's just me and the birds. And my kitties demanding I fill their food bowls. I love seeing the sunrise, and that time of day really makes me feel inspired and productive. When it comes to evening and especially late at night, though, I've usually lost most of my steam by then and often end up asleep on the couch in front of the TV despite telling myself to at least try to get some art or writing done before bed. There's a chance I'll get something done on a Saturday or Sunday night, when I haven't been at work all day, but even those evenings often end up with me prematurely falling asleep.)
4. My compassion for animals is what I love most about myself.
(I love all animals, and I have an extra soft spot for special needs furry babies. When I see stories about animal abusers, or even just hear that someone doesn't like animals, I genuinely thank God that he provided me with compassion for the innocent creatures of the world. The kitties and pups in my life bring me more happiness than I can even express.)

Are you ready for your Eddy fix? Today you actually get to see Eddy along with her beloved mancat Evan. After all, tomorrow is Valentine's Day, and the only other cat Eddy truly likes is Evan, and she absolutely adores him.
That photo is actually a couple years old, and it was snapped when Eddy and Evan were helping me do laundry one day. I picked it, though, as there's lots of pink going on with their blankets, and Valentine's Day is all shades of pink.
Eddy and Evan wish everyone a fantastic Friday!

Also in honor of Valentine's Day, how about this macabre doodle of love I scribbled up a couple years ago?

Tip of the Day
We're continuing on with our tips for National Cat Health Month, today's tip being all about diet. As you all certainly know, not all foods are created equal. Always be sure to do your research and read labels, ensuring that you are feeding your kitty food that is as high-quality as possible. Also remember that cats are obligate carnivores, so make sure that their diet largely reflects this. In addition, when it comes to feeding your cat, it is of course important to take a number of other factors into consideration, such as their age and health status. For example, kittens do best on foods formulated for kittens, as these diets will include higher protein and fat content, which helps aid in their growth and development. As your cat ages, consider how their health will affect their dietary needs. For example, does your cat have kidney disease or diabetes? Cats with kidney disease should be on a diet lower in protein, in order to help their kidneys function as well as possible. On the other hand, cats with diabetes are often better regulated when on a diet higher in protein. Other factors that could affect diet include of course food allergies, dermatitis, arthritis, dental disease, and weight, just to name a few. The most important thing is to understand your cat's dietary needs based on their overall health status. Of course, as needed, discuss your kitty's dietary needs with their veterinarian, and make sure you understand what type of food would be best for them.
