Tonks Tuesday with the Toe Beans

It's Tonks Tuesday, and today the cute little calico wanted to give you all a glimpse of her toe beans.


Tonks has adorable toes, and she knows it. She says you're welcome for the toe beans show and tell today.

Happy Tuesday, friends!

Flashback Doodle of the Day

I felt like sharing another summertime spooky doodle today, and since I still haven't scribbled up this year's yet, I went into our archives and found this one. It's actually more so a springtime spooky doodle, though, as I scribbled it up as part of my "Halfway to Halloween" April A to Z Challenge a few years ago. That said, this drawing was also inspired by the fact that I have a couple of life-size skeletons that hang out around my house year round. They're not real, at least not that I'm aware of, and their names are Jack and Sally.

Tip of the Day

Is your kitty a chewer? Do they put anything and everything in their mouth? While we're sure you all know to keep potentially dangerous plants out of your home, do you have safe or fake plants on which your kitty chews? If your cat goes outdoors, do they tend to eat grass on the lawn? If the answers to any of these are yes, and if medical issues have been ruled out for any abnormal behaviors, do perhaps consider keeping some cat grass growing in your home. Even if any of the above statements aren't true of your cat, you can of course still offer cat grass. Cat grass is a safe plant on which many cats enjoy chewing, and which also serves as a source of fiber than can help keep things moving sufficiently through the GI tract. For example, cat grass might be able to help prevent issues with hairballs.

You can purchase cat grass that has already been grown and is ready for your kitty's chompers, or you can grow your own. It is relatively simple to grow, and is also typically cheap. So, do consider looking into keeping cat grass in your home, both for your kitty's entertainment as well as for their health. Of course, do monitor your kitty, especially when first offering cat grass. If they gorge on the grass and/or vomit after eating it, then only offer it to them on occasion, or not at all.
