Thankful

When the Lady and her fambly sit down around the table later to eat turkey, they will each tell what they are thankful for. I may be only a cat, but I have many things to be thankful for:

1. I am thankful for Malcolm, for not letting me die.
2. I am thankful for the v-e-t-s for fixing my broken body and offering their services for free.
3. I am thankful for all the cat lovers all over the world who helped pay the very big bill to make me whole again.
4. I am thankful for Malcolm and Jillian, who put up with me screaming while I was recovering.
5. I am thankful for Dan and Maggie for taking care of me when there wasn't anybody else.
6. I am thankful for the Lady, who took me in, even though she already had two older cats of her own.
7. I am thankful for the nice home I have here with the Lady and Gizzy and Jasmine.
8. I am thankful for Gizzy, for being my bestest pal, and for letting me cuddle next to him.
9. I am thankful for all the furry friends I have made all over the world, from the UK to New Zealand, from Canada to Florida, California and Hawaii in the US.
10. I am thankful for all the people who have made this little blog a part of their lives; who have offered help, advice and support. They come from all over the world, including Mexico. I have a soft spot for Mexico.

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!

Now, pass the turkey. Please.

And *I* am thankful for The Lady, who selflessly took Millie in (in spite of parental protests), gave her a loving home, and let her become the beautiful, loving kitty we all knew she would be. Congratulations, Millie, and thank you, Lady.

I am also thankful to all the people who saved you, Millie. It helps me remember that good things are happening every day. Happy Thanksgiving.

I feel the need to call everyone's attention to the thread where Millie got her name...first suggested here (read the comments), and finalized here.

G'night Millie. Love you. :)

When I came to live here, one of the Lady's friends asked, "Are you going to keep that name, Millie?" And the Lady said, "Absolutely. I helped name her."

Have a lovely Thanksgiving Day Millie & family. We don't get it here but my mum wishes we did because then she would have had the day off work today and got to eat lots of food and stay home with me, instead of it just being a boring old Thursday!
