Happy Pie-In-The-Face Day!

*lick*lick*
*lickety*lick*

I know this might seem backward and all, but I thought I'd get nice and clean for Pie-in-the-Face Day.
You know, in case one comes my way.

This way, my tongue is good and limber and ready for whatever delicious goodness might go splat in the night.

That is, if somekitty actually leaves the rest of us some.

We're going with the home team on this one, even though it's a bit sketchy (we couldn't verify this date outside a mention in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch).

Got any pie left after Turkey Day you plan to toss around?

Uninvited Guest?

*big eyes* Is that ... turkey?  And gravy?

*reaches for plate*

Can you push the stuffing closer, pleez? I can't quite reach it from here.

*prepares to snag --- *

FARADAY!

What do you mean, "you're not invited"?
B-b-but I washed my paws an' ... an' ... everything.

*cue lower lip quiver*

(Yeah, this is how he got the turkey. And the pumpkin pie.)

From our home to yours:

Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving

Thursday's Purrs (on Wednesday): Blossom

"Hullo folks, I'm Blossom, the rare orange girlcat! Did you know most orange moggies are of the male persuasion?

Although some humans may call me a bit ornery, I'm really a very sweet and fun-loving girl -- with a healthy side of catitude.

My loves are playing, sun bathing and long afternoon naps. What are yours?

I love to be with people, and let me tell you, those head and neck scritches totally rock!"

"My dislikes are being picked up and taking my medicine, (well, duh, what kitty would like that, I ask you?). I've been told I need the stuff twice a day, though, for a delicate tummy.

"I've been called a 'chatty cathy' (whatver THAT is). I am pretty talkative and would love to chat you up if you're willing to chat.

I'm an Independent Girlcat of Means, and I take my role of House Investigator very seriously.
When not working, I do love a good round of Red Dot.

Being a Proper Ladycat and all, I'm a diligent  kitty post scratcher -- and I never scratch the furniture.

I get along well with dogs, but prefer to be the only cat of the house.
In exchange for your love, I promise cuddle up with you at night and be a loyal companion. I desperately want a home of my own and a human who adores me and accepts me for who I am. (Which if you ask my foster parents, is a pretty darn great!)

Won't you come meet me and see how we get along? I'll bet we'd get on famously!

Orange girlcat purrs,
Blossom"

Tomorrow: National Adoption Day

According to the Dave Thomas Foundation, National Adoption Day is a national effort to raise awareness of the more than 100,000 children in foster care waiting to find permanent, loving families.

We believe it's also a good opportunity to raise awareness of the more than 3.4 million cats in shelter care each year - hoping they're the lucky few who find loving homes, and not a death sentence.

Having been there myself, having experienced being homeless and without a family to call my own, this is a cause that really speaks to me.

Won't you consider opening your heart and home to a cat who needs rescue?
To a cat who needs someone to love and to call their own?

(But not my humans. I already share mine with two other cats. And at times, that feels like two too many. But I digress.)

Someday soon, I'll share my story with you. Believe me, it's worth the wait. ~ Allie
