msbelle, you're a REAL MOM!!!
Allyson, no. You did not steal someone's cat, cause that cat decided (if he had a person) not to be that person's cat anymore.
We have an indoor/outdoor kitty, and let me tell you, should someone decide to take "poor Minnie" in, they would quickly be disabused of any notion she was looking for a home. LET. ME. OOOOUUUUUUUUUUTT!! at full volume. You are guilt-free, should you be able to adopt that kitty.
I took Cosmo in that way; she was at a friend's BBQ, and they said they'd seen her around for a couple of weeks, and asked the neighbors if she was their kitty, and no. No tags, a storm, a plantive half-grown grey kitten PAWING at the glass door and doing the silent meow? Jumping on my lap in the garage and sleeping?
Yeah, home, James!
Pangs has been watched while I made the green bean casserole, sliced apples, heated the stove and did some dishes. Now the potatoes are starting to boil, and after I have a smoke, I will get dressed and make whipped cream.
Wait, maybe I'll reverse that. Yeah.
Dinner at noon!!
where the hell are my aprons?
It's not a holiday without the smoke alarms going off! Cough. Oops.
Allyson, our Cortez adopted us. He was probably a teenager, maybe not yet two? And had been neutered (spayed? I can never remember which is which) so someone clearly owned him at some point. But he came and he stayed, and he had obviously been on his own for a good long while at that point. I figured if we loved him and gave him a good home, it was the best thing.
So, I hope you can do that for Oliver. And if not, you're giving him a chance to find another great home.
I just got a text message from someone with a New York number, and I don't know who it is! Hmm.
I'd give Craig's List or Petfinder or whatever a gander and see if some little kid isn't looking for her kitty let out by a delivery man or houseguest... its probably unlikely but not much of a google to see.
Happy Thanksgiving.
My plans got derailed due to my being kind of sick and not wanting to do a round trip to PA and back in one day while hopped up on cold meds. I will miss seeing my family, but staying home is definitely the right choice today. Oy. Plus work issues which require my presence sooner than I had hoped tomorrow, so... solo T-Day it is.
One of my roommates left me a little turkey-and-stuffing-for-one thingie. Random that she had it, and very sweet of her to offer it up. And there's a pumpkin pie in the fridge, so that's my plan. Well, and a run to 7-11 for some liquids. And chocolate.
Good idea, Trudy. Searching now...
Happy Thanksgiving, folks!
