Happy Thanksgiving, Friends

Happy Thanksgiving to all!  I hope that everyone (that celebrates it, that is) was able to feast today, and to spend time with loved ones, furred and not so furred.

Our Thanksgiving was a quiet one, as they tend to be.  Three humans and one cat, at my mother-in-law's.  You might remember that my mother-in-law's one cat is Patches, an alumnus of the House of Carnivores.  For those who have started reading late, Patches was a foster-cat at our house for six months.  My mother-in-law liked him, and so now he is in his forever home with her!

Here he is.  You'd almost think that HE was the one that was stuffed full of turkey and carb-heavy (but tasty!) food.

Patches, sleeping.

Patches is one of those cats that is a good lesson:  sometimes it is GOOD to let go and let one of the kitties go on to their destiny, even if that is with someone else.  He was reasonably content in this house, but he is very obviously HAPPY at my mom-in-law's.  He was far more relaxed without having to constantly assert his dominance over another cat, and seemed pleased with the amount of space that he has to romp with.  And he seems very fond of his new person as well.

I had planned to take advantage of the daylight hours home and get some new pictures of everyone when the lighting was good, but those plans were shot by a late afternoon nap that went on just a little too long...  ah well.  It was a good nap!

Again, happy Thanksgiving to all!  I am thankful for all of you, and for the support network that you are part of.  It has really been good for me to get to know so many people with animals; it's been such a learning experience!
