Thankful Thursday Blog Hop

Apologies for missing #ThankfulThursday last week. 
Mom had just arrived in New England and was getting the quick and dirty tour of the house, the farm, the admittedly few chores, and a driving tour of the Hilltowns of Western Massachusetts.

So cute!

Dad was in his underwear watching TV. Or reading the Huffington Post. Or composing music. Whatever he was doing it was not taking dictation from me for my Thankful Thursday Blog Hop. I kept asking him if we could work on it now and he kept asking me what I wanted. Very exasperating.

My head hurts.

I'm writing this one with sheer super human - strike that - super feline powers of thinking it into being. I'll have to lie down all day after this.

I can't wait till mom gets home. Twelve days and counting. I should get a present every day, like the 12 Days of Christmas, don't you think? A partridge would be interesting, or two turtle doves. Now that I think of it, I wouldn't want all that other stuff.

At least a jar of baby food every day would be nice. Mom keeps baby food chicken and broth in the fridge and I eat it like an ice cream treat. DAD...  Yeah, right. He doesn't even read this.

Anyway back to #ThankfulThursday!! 

I am very thankful that Mom is having a fantastic time in New England. She's learning all about chickens and goats and composting and taking your own trash to the transfer station and chasing dogs who run away every day and that dogs destroy every toy you buy them within the hour, and that they have to go outside to poop, even in the rain and then when they come back in they smell like a wet dog! She says it's pretty fun for now, but I know she'll come running back to me.

She's very much thankful for me right now and missing my soft snuggliness and my very content, 'happy to have such a loving and comfortable home' purrs.

I know you miss me.

I'm also grateful that it's National Black Cat Appreciation Day and that lots of color challenged kitties will be adopted today and people will be educated about the bad rap black cats get. Actually, they're not really color challenged, black cats all have beautifully colored eyes.
