Fuzzines? Maybe fuzzies?

My kittehs are standing guard around the smoker today. Turkey and bacon explosion for Fangsgibbing dinner. I am thankful for friends, family and kittehs. My "Aunt Lolly" knows how much the kittehs are part of my family.

The house is filled with the smell of turkey roasting in the oven: yum! I am thankful for my hubby, my family, my Caturday family and friends.

An awe inspiring story that shows that family is important even the furry members.
That is something to be thankful of.Also don't force the kid to eat food he doesn't like. Goodness knows how many mashed potatoes my dog Scampy ate while I was growing up.

Liz Taylor?

I'm ok with that.

Cool! Now where did I put my Sherpies meds? It has been so long, it is probably out of date. Anyone have some to spare? Sherpa?

akimbotoo, if you're subby this time, there's this:
i40.tinypic.com

In seeking something else, I tripped over an old phrase reference: Furry Purry. Or Purries. Attributed to lajimi. Revival time?
Happy Thanksgiving, good folk-- at least hope you had a good one, or will if yours will be later this eve.
Did we ever find out who was subby last wk? sherpa The Usual Suspect said t'wasn't him ...?

Congratulations to akimbotoo.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
Love the story of the kitties and the child, having worked with the North American Riding for the Handicapped in my younger days I've seen first hand what an animal can do for a child.

assorted Li-Ion pictures, have not taken too many this week, odd work schedule and lots of work in the house or on the farm.
Woke up on Tuesday with a huge scratch on my nose, Li-Ion attack in the night!

I have many things to be thankful for this year, and my Caturday friends are among them. However, the one that outweighs them all is laying on my sofa, senior cat on his lap, with both sound asleep.

One year ago on Nov 17th, I met him. No sparks or fireworks... just a nice guy.

In March of this year, I turned 50, and kinda had the epiphany that marriage was not really going to be a part of my life's story. Shrug. Oh well.

Yesterday he signed all his paperwork for his new job in my lil country town, and on Dec 5, he will complete his move out of his house and into my lil country home. The details of our wedding are sketchy, but I hope to be a spring bride.

So even with the risk of ensuing captioning havoc, I give you a pic of the happy couple:

And my Thanksgiving wish for all of you is for the secret you hold in your heart, the one you fear will never come true, to come true this holiday season.

Read 1st 6 posts after snatching winning tail/tale to read/edit to retain slightly later. akimbotoo, you done better than good! Excellent, with feeling! I also find that I need to go back to the story for the author's name, which like a nidiot I deleted with the rest of the preliminary stuff&nonsense.

i53.tinypic.com

Ginger, above, was willing to accept a few bits of turkey; Jimmy, below, insisted on his share. (He's actually rather smaller than Ginger.) Nobody else seemed to be interested.
i56.tinypic.com

Since I took both of these, they can count as 1 for envotenation (?) purposes.

Lucy's collage is so lovely because Lucy is a pretty and very photogenic girl. Ah, but Juno's captures that special something about that girl. From her floofy tail to her adorable derpy features and expressions, she is divine!

Thanks sweeties! I found this story, and it made me tear up a bit so I figured it was a good one to submit. I was afraid to post it too early because I didn't want it to get lost in the mountains of submissions.

And Happy Thanksgiving (weekend) to all Caturdayers.

CONGRATS TO DZ!!! I'm so incredibly happy for you!!

Also congarats to akimbotoo on the sherpies :) Great story!

predle - I'm soooo glad you posted your tryptic (did I spell that right?) I hope everyone else who posted a kitteh tryptic will also bring it to Caturday. There were several good ones!

I'm so very thankful for my amazing docs, who have spent the past 3 days trying to figure out what happened to my stim device (on their own time!) Apparently my bleed on Friday after the first surgery shorted out the device, so we changed out the shorted part and now it's working! It may take a few days of continuous use before I can tell how much it will help the pain. Also incredibly thankful for my mom & guy, who have taken all of the complications in stride. Apparently nothing can go right the first time for me... Thankful also for my sweet kittehs - Lars has been a bit more quiet in the mornings & Cassie is following me around to make sure I'm going to be ok.

VERY thankful for my Caturday family - you guys have helped me cope with a lot over the years. ***HUGS***

We didn't have our Turkey day today... Not sure when the guy will be home again, but we'll probably have the big meal then. Unless it's when I have my 2nd surgery to make the stim permanent...

Ok, now some pics. Sorry for the wall o' words!

Exactly why I am not going in to work until the afternoon tomorrow! I know it is going to be insane, and I don't like that kind of crazy frenzy!
