Hello and happy Thursday, friends! Thimble is of course here and ready for Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.
Thimble's newfound ability to enjoy blanket forts is bringing her much happiness pretty much every day now. I don't know that she'll keep this up in the hot summer months, but on these chilly days, she's quite pleased to have learned that she has the skills required to sneak and snooze under a cozy blanket.
Thimble hopes her kitty friends also enjoy blanket forts!

Today we have yet another old doodle I scribbled up for Valentine's Day years ago. This particular holiday is far from my favorite, and I don't always feel inspired to scribble up new doodles for it. That was the case this year, so we're sharing some old ones.

Tip of the Day
Yesterday, our first tip for National Cat Health Month was to make sure your kitty is examined by a veterinarian at least once a year. Today, our tip is to also remember to be diligent of your kitty's health in between vet visits. You know your kitty best, and you spend lots of time by his or her side. So, be sure to do frequent observations and checks of their actions, behaviors, and overall health and happiness. For example, keep an eye on how much your kitty is eating and drinking, and make note of any changes in their food or water intake. In addition, check that litter box and take note of any changes there, such as the amount of urine or feces, or even the odor. Or, has your kitty become less active, or more active? What about the way they walk? Are they walking abnormally, such as favoring a foot? Do they still jump as often and as well as they used to? What about their vocalizations? Is your kitty more vocal than he or she used to be? Less vocal? Has the sound of their voice changed? Is your kitty hiding more often? Has he or she become more aggressive, or less tolerant of being petted or held? These are all just examples of things that you, as your kitty's companion, should keep an eye on regularly. Any such changes, even subtle ones, could be indicative of disease, injury, or any number of issues. So, be sure to make observations such as these, and report any concerns, no matter how big or how small, to your veterinarian.
