Just like Evan did yesterday, Tonks is here today to show off how much she enjoys the kitties' beloved cat-o'-lantern basket toy. Also just like Evan, Tonksy's photos all ended up as blurry bloopers. Not only was she moving around a lot, but I also didn't realize until afterwards that the lens of my camera was smudged. Even so, here's blurry Tonks and her favorite Halloween toy.
Tonks and all of us here wish you lots of festive fun today!

Spooky Flashback Doodle of the Day
Since I'm still working on my new Halloween doodles for this year, this week I'm sharing flashback doodles starring my parents' kitties in costumes. Their kitty Talon passed away last April, but I of course still included him. For reasons that probably only make sense to me, Talon got to be Pennywise the clown from Stephen King's It.
Talon was the littermate of my parents' kitty Trapper, as well as littermate to my own Thimble and my sister's kitty Toby. As we've mentioned many times over the past couple of weeks, Trapper was recently diagnosed with an aggressive, terminal cancer. My parents have been keeping him comfortable with lots of medications, and I've been going over every day to help them give Trapper fluids. Even so, the sweet boy has started to decline more and more, and my mom told me a bit ago that today is the first time in all of this that he's starting to turn down food. We know our time with him is very limited, and the only consolation we have for when the time comes is that he'll be free of this awful disease and will be reunited with his brother Talon.

Tip of the Day
We know we don't have to tell you wonderful folk that all of those superstitions about unlucky black cats simply aren't true. That being said, there are unfortunately those out there who do believe such things. There are also, sadly, people out there who might even think to play unjust tricks on black cats on or around Halloween. This is why today we are here to remind you to ensure that your sweet and innocent black cats, and all of your furbabies, are safe indoors on and around Halloween. Even if you live in what is believed to be a safe neighborhood, please do keep your black cats, and all of your furbabies, inside and under close observation during the Halloween season. This will help ensure that they don't fall victim to the tricks and pranks of any callous or superstitious people out there. As always, it's better to be safe than sorry.
