It's Tonks Tuesday, and the calico found out that we'll soon be decorating our house for Halloween. In honor of that festive fun, Tonks wanted to re-share a couple flashback photos of her hanging out with some of our year-round spooky decor.
Tonks is a big fan of Halloween, in no small part because she loves hanging out with and playing with some of the kitty-safe decor that gets put in her reach. Some of what was supposed to be my decor has even just outright become kitty toys, such as smaller stuffies and such that I used to put out for Halloween. I'm not in charge. I just work here.
Happy Tuesday, friends!
Today's flashback doodle is another somewhat spooky one. It's also yet another that was technically scribbled up as concept art for the story I'm writing (and actually getting very close to finishing). This weird and wacky book involves a cat café sort of restaurant that serves spooky baked goods, such as this here. I call it the Moonshine Muffin.
Since National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day is this week, we figured we'd go right on ahead and do a series of tips on how to get that kitty of yours to the vet. We'll start this series with the simple tip to socialize and get your kitty used to interaction at an early age, if possible. Getting your cat used to people is ideal for helping them cope with future outings to the vet. This of course may not always be possible, depending on a particular cat's age and personality at the time of adoption or rescue. However, when possible and safe, start socializing your cat around people, even simply visitors to your home, when they are young.
What's more, try to get your cat used to hands-on checks. If it's safe for both you and your cat, you can get in the habit of looking in your cat's ears, having a look at their mouth and teeth, and so forth. This of course can help them get used to all that goes on when they're at the vet's office, while at the same time also helping you check for abnormalities that might need to be addressed. All in all, starting early with socializing and hands-on interaction, when it's a safe option, can possibly help your kitty feel more comfortable about getting examined during their trips to the vet.
