Happy Turkey Day! (And Gotcha Day!)

 

You gotta love a holiday that centers around a large, flightless bird!

Happy Thanksgiving to all our American friends 

from the Cats of Wildcat Woods.

(Mom used me for her Turkey Day poster but didn't even remember that it was my Gotcha Day too!)


Sorry Joe - we took Joey in from living outside with the feral group after he had been beaten up a few times and developed abscesses from the wounds.  It was Thanksgiving and while Pop cooked the fixings Mom lured Joey into the enclosed porch and shut the door.  Then she had to catch him - he hid behind the second refrigerator most of the morning but she manged to catch him before dinner and put him in a small room to get used to being inside.  His sister Minnie was already in and she helped Joe relax. We are so glad Joe is an inside boy now - he is a lover not a fighter.

And we have a winner - the Awkward Family Pet Photos book give-away  drawing was on 11/22.  Using Random.org, we put in the number of entries and the winner is....drumroll.......Alasandra, The cats and a Dog. We will contact them for an address to mail a copy to.  Congrats guys!



We will catch you all next week - Mom's gotta take a break - too much going on over the next few days!

Bedtime Reading And Give-away

Sweetpea here today. Mom has been reading this fun book at night to us before she goes to sleep.  It is written by two screen and TV writers Mike Bender and Doug Chernack.  They have previously written the well known Awkward Family Photos book and have a website by the same name.

We laughed at the silly pictures of people and their pets along with some pretty funny stories behind the photos.  They have a section on pet portraits, holiday portraits and then just photos of  people with their cats, dogs, birds and even exotic pets.  Our favorite is this one with the poor cat sitting on the Easter Bunny's lap - bet he will never chase bunnies again!

We even recognized a contributor to the Awkward Family Pet Photos book - Karen Nichols of The Cats Meow blog and Mousebreath.com!  We give this book a full ~paws up~ for pet lovers!

If you would like to win your own brand new copy, just leave a comment below telling us you want to be entered in the give-away.  It's that simple!  We will pick the winner using Random.org on Nov. 22 during the week of Thanksgiving - just in time for Christmas.  Wouldn't this book make a great Christmas gift?

Another note of interest - we visited Marg of Marg's Pets yesterday.  Mom and Pop took flat Chica and went on a road trip to see all of Marg's great critters. It was so much fun. That story will be coming up later this week.  See ya then!
