It's Tonks Tuesday, and the little calico hopes you're not getting tired of seeing her adorable nose. She shows it off pretty regularly, but since it's so cute I told her that you all would surely be happy to see it again. So, here you go.
Feel free to give that little nose a boop. Tonks actually loves that. She and I have a routine where if I stick my finger out toward her, she'll press her nose to it and I'll say "boop!" or "pop!" She loves it. I love it. It's a great nose-booping time.
Have a terrific Tuesday, friends!
Flashback Doodle of the Day
I watched a Halloween movie last night. It was the goofy one on Netflix called Hubie Halloween. It stars Adam Sandler, if that tells you anything about it. I simply wanted to watch a Halloween movie, but I'm waiting until September to start watching the classics and my other favorites. All that to say, I'm ready for autumn and spooky season and so here's an old and very Halloweeny spring/summer doodle starring my calico angel Rosie.

Tip of the Day
We still have some tips all about taking that kitty to the vet. Today's tip is to, if needed, discuss with your veterinarian medications that might help calm a cat who becomes especially anxious, or even aggressive, when it comes time to visit the vet. Some cats are calm and collected, even at the vet. Other cats, however, simply become reactive when they see a carrier, when they get into a car, when they visit a veterinary office, or when they meet strangers. If you have tried the usual tricks—which of course include leaving the carrier out at all times, using Feliway, using treats to coax and distract, and so forth—yet your kitty still becomes anxious or difficult to handle, then there are some potential sedating medications that could be given when it comes time to visit the vet. Your veterinarian would be able to determine if or which sedatives might work best for your particular kitty, given said kitty's behavior as well as health. So, be upfront and honest with your veterinarian regarding the ease and safety of getting your cat in a carrier and to the vet. Your vet can of course also witness how your cat acts when visiting the clinic, and with all of those facts, the two of you can discuss potential options for making vet visits as easy and safe as possible for you, your cat, and the veterinary staff.

If only I could get that gabapentin into Katie. I did once. She went to her bed and fell asleep. She showed her intelligence thereafter. I never could...not with ANYTHING ever again get gabapentin into her. No matter what. Sardine juice..salmon joule tuna juice, foods, nothing.
BOOP!
