Thankful Thimble Thursday: Blurry but Cute

Hello and hi! It's Thursday, which means Thimble is here and ready for Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.

Today, Thimble is grateful for how cute she is. I'm so very thankful for her adorable little self as well. Thimble is glad that she's adorable even when she gets overly excited about having her photo taken and so ends up blurry and rolling all over the place.

Thimble genuinely loves having her photo taken. She loves attention and cuddles in general, so that's probably why shoving a camera in her face and oohing and awwing over her makes her so excited. And I'm more than fine with that. My only other kitty who at least somewhat likes having her photo taken is Tonks, as, like Thimble, she loves the attention. Evan tolerates photo shoots, and my sweet and sassy Eddy kind of hates them.

Happy Thursday to all!

Flashback Doodle of the Day

Today's doodle is from a few years ago, and it's an odd one. But I promise it makes sense, at least to me. When Thimble was a kitten, her meows sounded so mechanical, as if she were a robot. While her meows are not quite as noticeably robotic-sounding anymore, they're still more than a little bit like that. All that said, ever since she was a kitten, I sometimes call her RoboKitty. So, I drew Thimble as exactly that.

Tip of the Day

We're continuing with our pet parenting hack tips. So, yesterday we mentioned wrapping sisal rope around furniture legs in order to create money-saving scratching posts that also save you extra floor space. That's not the only way furniture can be used to create something special for your kitty, though. We all know that cats love cozy places to relax, including, of course, hammocks. If you yet again want to save money and floor space, you can suspend a hammock from beneath an end table or other similar piece of furniture. You would start with some cloth, which could be securely attached to or tied around the legs of the table. You could use velcro, some safely tied rope, or even just the corners of the cloth to suspend the hammock. In this way, you could create a cheap, easy, space-saving DIY hammock in which your kitty could snooze.
