🐾Fun Fact Friday📚

Did you know that cats are not truly nocturnal? Cats are crepuscular, which means they are most active at dawn and dusk. You will notice large bursts of energy during these times, and they will take naps throughout the rest of the day. This mimics the hunting patterns of their wild ancestors.

Got algae in your pond or lake? Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are an overgrowth of algae that can produce toxins that can be harmful to the health of humans and pets.

Remember pets and livestock should avoid contact with harmful algal blooms—they can get sick. If exposed, rinse with clean water. Colors can include shades of green, blue-green, yellow, brown or red.
