For the purpose of this cat blog, I would like to say that I am thankful for the kitten we added to our family this year. I have already mentioned him in a previous post entitled Sliding Cat. He is Stan Lee. He is now 7 months old and while he started out crazy and wild, he has already settled down quite a bit. We suspected that he was grieving over our dog that passed away at the end of September. He is still quite subdued as we have added a puppy to our zany zoo of a household. I don't know what is going through that cat's mind as the puppy tries to spar with him and he just lays down in front of him. Our last dog didn't act that way. She just lay there as Stan cuddled up to her. Stan tries to cuddle with the pup, but the pup bites him. Stan is coming around, though. He bites back! And sometimes when the puppy gets too riled up and I step in to make him stop, Stan instigates another battle.
As you can guess, there is never a dull moment around here. I am thankful for that, too. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and remember to be thankful every day of the year.
