Reasons to be Thankful, 1, 2, 3

Hola kitties! Today is the day to give thanks for a warm home and food in your bellies. It's also a day to mooch as much human food as you can from the dinner table. We're not having traditional turkey nor do the peeps even have the Thanksgiving tablecloth on but there are still some things to be thankful for in our little condo. There are many more than three reasons but the post title was taken from the Ian Dury song title replacing "cheerful" with "thankful."

We are thankful for the hunnert or so who read this blog and those who take the time to comment. We read every comment so THANK YOU. We are thankful for the Cat Blogosphere and all our furrends there even if they're not reading this blog. We are also thankful for:

1. That we're all together and TW has made it through another year.
2. The peeps are thankful that we don't live above the 4th floor since they're still walking up and down four flights of stairs since the new elevator still hasn't been installed. Apparently there are supply chain setbacks—that's getting to be such a lame excuse—which should have been taken care of before they started. We hear it's gonna be another month.
3. I'm thankful to still be here after almost 17 years with fairly good health. Even though I think I'm ignored far to often, I am worshipped as I should be. *My* humans don't go away for a week and leave me alone such as what my buddy Livesey is going through right now.

I also want to thank Ms Ellen for posting the fill-ins so we could finish this post today. We're also joining the Thankful Thursday blog hop over at Brian's Home.

What are you thankful for?

Friendly fill-ins

Let's answer some Friendly Fill-Ins, a weekly feature held at this time, which is already in progress. Our hosts—15andmeowing and Four Legged Furballs—need no innerductions as they are giants in the cat blogging world. They think up the fill-ins and I fill in the answers. My answers are boldface. This week my image relates to Thanksgiving. I always got turkey while Pop was carving and had my own turkey plate.

1. I would like a pet of my own. I want a pet. I thought I wanted a cat but I'd attack any other cat that Pop looked at. Ax Isabel, wherever she may be. Maybe I could have fish or a ferret or a rat or Snakey Wakey. Livesey next door has fish and a snake. TW has been going in to play with Livesey and she saw the snake tank but hasn't investigated.

2. On Black Friday, I sleep. What else? TW was supposed to have treatment but it was cancelled so her doctor could tell her about the next phase of treatment. Instead she will be burning up the computer shopping online.

3. For me, the holiday season begins when the tree goes up. This will be the first year we don't have a real tree, which will be a surprise for Uncle Vince and Fraser. Fraser finds himself out of a job since last year he sent Balsam whom both me and TW were allergic to. He also started dying like the day after he settled in here.

4. If I won a large sum of money, food and shelters for all the community cats in town would be the first thing I bought. TW tries to donate food and blankets for the shelters but it's just a drop in the bucket.

Caturday Art

I worked on this piece all week.

Caturday Art is hosted by the lovely Athena Cat Goddess Wise Kitty and her mum to showcase how talented us anipal artists are. We can use the many different digital apps, Photoshop or share original art.

Give thanks.
